Funding will be made available for three years at NZ$22,000 tax-free per year (tuition costs will be covered by the project). Funding is also available for conferences and miscellaneous expenses.

Closing date: 15 February 2007

The University of Canterbury, through the Natural Resources Engineering group in the Department of Civil Engineering, the Department of Geological Sciences, and the Otago Regional Council are looking for an enthusiastic research student to develop an understanding of the growth, dynamics and management of braided alluvial river deltas. New Zealand and particularly parts of Otago have alluvial river systems that are generally well supplied with transportable sediments. The sediment supply is usually strongly related to recent human occupation of the steep, geologically active, upland catchments.

Keyword : PhD Student Positions, Lulea Technical University (LTU) 2007,  
The Satellite Atmospheric Science (SAT) group at the Department of Space
Science (IRV) is looking for two new PhD students. The IRV is a department of Luleå Technical University, located at the Space Campus in Kiruna, Sweden. We work in close collaboration with the other two big space and environment research institutions in Kiruna, IRF and ESRANGE.
The group focuses on three research areas:

1. Radiative Transfer
We maintain and extend the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer Simulator (ARTS), a public domain program developed and used by groups all over Europe. ARTS can simulate the propagation of thermal radiation in the atmosphere, including the effects of atmospheric absorption and scattering.

2. Humidity and Cloud Research
We use available satellite data (from meteorological and research satellites) to study the hydrological cycle in the upper troposphere and the climatology of humidity and clouds. A focus in the past has been on passive microwave sensors, such as the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit B, but we plan to increase the use of other available data, for example from the US A-train of satellites, or from Envisat.
