1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physics-based machine learning for optimal experimental design
Summary of PhD Program:
Are you seeking a PhD project at the interface between geoscience, machine learning and mathematics, with an application to the highly relevant topic of induced seismicity? Then a position in this project might be appealing to you. The aim of the project is the further development and optimization of hybrid artificial intelligence systems. A specific focus is on sparse data applications and the reliable incorporation of physical knowledge, to produce explainable models. The project focuses on the use of AI methods in procedures for determining sensitivities, uncertainties and an optimal experimental design.
Application Deadline: 22th August 2024

- Imaging Data Science
Application Deadline: August 23, 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Wetland and Forest carbon Monitoring
Summary of PhD Program:
Your research will contribute to innovative monitoring concepts for rewetted peatlands and forests. Rewetted peatlands have the potential to play a major role in achieving zero emission targets and have been recognized as such by the German National Peatland Protection Strategy. Also, forests represent a major carbon sink but their fate under changing climate is uncertain, which makes a constant monitoring of these ecosystem paramount.
Application Deadline: 27th August 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Debris flow activities in active tectonic areas under climate change
Summary of PhD Program:
This position is part of the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network “Climate-Tectonics Interactions using Big Data informed Models” (INITIATE, https://www.initiate-dn.eu/). We are seeking for a candidate to build a digital twin of debris flow catchments and associated debris flow early warning systems considering different climate scenarios. The objective is to assess how anthropogenic climate change controls debris flow activities in active tectonic areas. There will be two primary sites in Europe (Illgraben, Switzerland) and China (Jiangjia Ravine), and a few secondary sites in the USA.
Application Deadline: 29th August 2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in 3D structural, thermal and rheological configuration of Corinth Rift
Summary of PhD Program:
This position is part of the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network „Climate-Tectonics Interactions using Big Data informed Models“ (INITIATE, www.initiate-dn.eu/). We are seeking for a candidate to build a Digital Twin of the Corinth Rift by which to unravel conditions responsible for the localization of deformation at present-day. The goal is to link the basin structure to the deeper crustal and mantle configuration, thus elucidating the first-order structural characteristics controlling the thermo-mechanical state of the system. This will be achieved based on an approach linking (geo)data and process simulations.
Application Deadline: 1st September 2024

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Hydro-mechanic effects of climate changes in North Central Europe
Summary of PhD Program:
This position is part of the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network „Climate-Tectonics Interactions using Big Data informed Models“ (INITIATE, www.initiate-dn.eu/). We are seeking for a candidate to build a Digital Twin of the subsurface of North Central Europe as a base for 3D simulations of coupled thermo-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) processes considering different climate scenarios. The objective is to assess the influence of present and past climate changes on the THM configuration as relevant for availability and preservation of groundwater resources, heat and energy storage, geothermal energy production and deposition of nuclear waste.
Application Deadline: 1st September 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Smartphone-based data and earthquake ground-shaking prediction
Summary of PhD Program:
Recently smartphone applications have been developed to detect the occurrence of earthquakes and provide an early warning (Earthquake Network (EQN) application, Finazzi, 2016) or to allow smartphone users to react after an earthquake and assess the level of vibrations felt (LastQuake application, Bossu et al., 2018). A collaboration between GFZ (Prof. Fabrice Cotton), the University of Bergamo (Prof. Francesco Finazzi) and EMSC (Euro Mediterranean Seismological Center) has been developed to analyse the datasets resulting from these applications.
Application Deadline: 8th September 2024
