VLIZ recruits: PhD Researcher Marine Geology

Join our research team as a PhD researcher, working on palaeolandscape reconstruction of the Belgian Continental Shelf.

https://www.vliz.be/en/jobs/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. As a PhD researcher you will use state-of-the-art acoustic techniques (high-resolution reflection seismic profiling, ultra-high-resolution sub-bottom profiling and multibeam bathymetric mapping), complemented by sediment (vibro)coring. 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.
  • Critical and creative.
