PhD Opportunity, Solid-Earth Seismology and Greenland Ice-Sheet Stability, The University of Alabama

The Department of Geological Sciences at The University of Alabama (UA) seeks a motivated PhD student who is interested in seismology, solid-Earth structure, and ice-sheet stability. The student will be part of a multi-institutional, collaborative NSF-funded project aimed at developing new geophysical models of the tectonic structure beneath Greenland, which will be used to evaluate the critical thresholds for ice-sheet recovery under different climate conditions. Prospective students must have good communication skills as well as a strong quantitative background, preferably with prior seismic research and computer programming experience. Candidates must also be willing and able to participate in several seasons of fieldwork in central-eastern Greenland. The anticipated start date for the position is August 2026, but it could be as early as January 2026.

Students can apply at https://slate.ua.edu/apply, and the application fee will be waived if their application is received during UA’s Free Application Week (October 6-10, 2025). For more information, please contact Dr. Samantha Hansen (sha...@geo.ua.edu).
