Offer Description
Job Advertisement Title: Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network Research Assistant and PhD Candidate
Fixed Salary: £42,437.75 - £53,689.94 per annum
Full time - Fixed term
Location: South Kensington
Applications are invited for a fully-funded a postgraduate research assistant position that will also lead to the award of a PhD at the Department of Earth Science and Engineering, Imperial College London.
You will join the multinational TALENTS Marie Skłodowska-Curie DoctoralTraining Network as a Doctoral Candidate (DC) and you will be employed as a research assistant at Imperial College. Simultaneously, you will also be enrolled as a PhD student. The training network ‘TALENTS: The doctoral rift science network for the energy transition’ involves Imperial College and six other European universities, who will recruit 12 DCs in total. The position is funded for 3 years.
The position available at Imperial (DC12) will conduct PhD research under the heading ‘Reconciling records of fault initiation, growth and interaction from geomorphic and subsurface datasets: impacts on sediment sourcing and seismic hazard’.
The objective of this role is to improve our understanding of how signals of fault evolution and slip rate history are recorded in the basin stratigraphy and landscape geomorphology. Our aim is to provide a powerful tool to constrain fault activity and slip rates where subsurface data is sparse or non-existent. The Gulf of Evia, Greece, has been identified as a key location of study. The project will involve field data collection, subsurface data analysis including seismic reflection data, and GIS work and is suited to Earth Scientists with an interest in structural geology, geomorphology and tectonics.
Duties and responsibilities
The main responsibility of the post is to produce research that will contribute to the TALENTS initiative and to produce material for your PhD thesis. You will receive academic support and guidance, but you will be expected to develop your own research ideas and communicate your research findings in conference presentations, written reports and published papers. You will need to engage with peers and members of the Doctoral Network, and to undertake the training and activities developed for the programme alongside your research.
Essential requirements
The most important requirement is that you have the drive, commitment and motivation to undertake PhD level study over a 3-year time period. You will have the ability to work independently to solve science problems and you will need to have some prior experience of carrying out research, ideally at master’s level. You will have some prior understanding of structural geology, geomorphology and sedimentary geology from practical (field) and theoretical perspectives.
Further Information
Please note the European mobility and eligibility requirements for this role as part of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network:
