10 PhD Positions - Surface processes, Tectonics and Georesources in the Andean Foreland Basin of Argentina

Since October 2015, the DFG International Research Training Group “Surface processes, Tectonics and Georesources in the Andean Foreland Basin of Argentina” (StRATEGy) is established at the University of Potsdam and runs in cooperation with the GFZ German Research Centre for Geoscience and our Argentinian partner universities in Buenos Aires, Salta, Jujuy and Tucumán.

“StRATEGy” aims to conduct an interdisciplinary study of the source-to-sink system of the Argentinian Andes. Our study addresses the complex relationships between tectonics, climate, erosion, sediment deposition, and the environmental conditions prone to the generation, migration, and accumulation of hydrocarbon resources and metallogenesis. The foreland and the transition to the Andean orogen interior is characterized by ongoing, yet highly diachronous and spatially disparate tectonism, in addition to pronounced contrasts in relief, rainfall, and erosion. These characteristics make this region an outstanding natural laboratory to study surface processes and their tectonic and climatic forcing factors that impact sediment production and mass-transfer on multiple spatiotemporal scales.

The University of Potsdam jointly offers the following positions subject to the allocation of funds by the DFG International Research Training Group “StRATEGy”: 10 PhD Positions
