PhD position in Tectonics - Structural Geology - Geomorphology

This doctoral position is part of the European-based Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network TALENTS (https://www.talents-dn.eu). TALENTS aims at training early career researchers with an interdisciplinary, science-driven approach to develop new sustainable solutions for global challenges associated with the energy transition. We focus on continental rifts, which are key regions for geothermal energy, carbon capture and storage, new resources such as native hydrogen and helium, as well as endangered human habitats due to geohazards such as earthquakes and volcanic activity. TALENTS fuses research and training at 18 European institutes and academic partners, as well as 11 companies that are actively involved in the energy transition. The doctoral network is centered around 12 individual PhD projects addressing fundamental scientific aspects of rift system processes, collectively bridging several orders of magnitude of spatial and temporal scales. Each doctoral candidate is linked to a second academic partner to complement and broaden their scientific training and to a dedicated industry partner to acquire industry-relevant skills and preview possible non-academic career paths.
