Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand, is seeking applicants for a fully-funded PhD project on the ‘Late Quaternary evolution of the Lake Wairarapa basin and connecting catchments'.

The PhD project aims to assess the environmental and anthropogenic controls on sedimentation in the Wairarapa basin through analysis of lacustrine, coastal, and fluvial sedimentary archives, together with historical records of weather and climate, river behaviour, and landscape modification.

Supervision Team

The candidate will join the Physical Geography Group, in the Institute of Agriculture and Environment, Massey University (http://www.massey.ac.nz/massey/learning/colleges/college-of- sciences/research/agriculture-environment-research/soil-earth-sciences/physical-geography.cfm).

Requirements

Applicants must have a good first-class Honours degree and/or a Masters degree in Geography or Earth Science with a Grade Point Average of 7.5 or higher (by the appointment date – 1 Oct 2014). The successful candidate will be proficient in written and spoken English, be prepared to undertake arduous fieldwork, and have a driver’s license. We are seeking a well-rounded physical geographer/geomorphologist with training in, or experience with, at least two of the following: field mapping and surveying, GIS (mapping and spatial analysis), geophysical survey tools (e.g. sub-bottom Sonar), sedimentology, and sediment-based Quaternary palaeoenvironmental reconstruction.

Award

The three year PhD scholarship includes full waiver of PhD course fees, annual stipend of 25,000 NZD, and 1000-2000 NZD per year research support.
