VLIZ recruits: PhD Researcher Marine Geology

Background

We offer a 4-year PhD student position to map and reconstruct the Pleistocene palaeolandscapes of the outer Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS), their evolution through time and connection with adjacent regional palaeolandscapes of the Netherlands, France and the UK.

In recent years a large amount of new acoustic and geotechnical data have been obtained in this area, which are of unprecedented resolution and quality and reveal for the first time that much more of the Pleistocene deposits have been preserved than previously thought. This opens perspectives to reconstruct the palaeo environmental evolution of the area during the Pleistocene, a period for which there are still many questions. As a PhD researcher, you will be based at the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ, Ostend) and enrolled at Ghent University (Department of Geology). The PhD supervisors will be Dr. Tine Missiaen, Dr. Ruth Plets and Dr Thomas Mestdagh (VLIZ) and Prof. Marc De Batist (UGent).

  • Excellent communication skills in English – both orally and written.
  • Highly motivated to conduct scientific research.

Geneva Summer Schools: Submerged Prehistoric Landscapes

https://www.unige.ch/genevasummerschools/programme/courses/submerged-prehistoric-landscapes

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Following the success of the University of Geneva Terra Submersa expedition in 2014, the summer school offers an intensive course on a new, multidisciplinary scientific field: Continental Shelf Prehistoric Research (CSPR).

The course aims at educating postgraduate students and young scientists to move across the boundaries of marine geosciences and archaeology, in order to shed light on the interaction between our ancestors with the dynamically changing environment.

Practically, the summer school will take place in Porto Cheli (Greece) and include field trips to the prehistoric site of Franchthi Cave and the surrounding area. Its objective is to give the opportunity for young archaeologists and geoscientists to:

  • Learn about marine geophysical (multibeam, side scan sonar, sub-bottom profiler), marine geological methodologies as well as data acquisition, post-processing and interpretation
  • Understand paleoclimate and sea-level changes and their interaction with isostatic and tectonic  vertical movements
  • Link climate, sea level and environmental changes to the archaeology of people who lived on and migrated across the continental shelf
  • Familiarize with key themes in coastal prehistory
