PhD in Volcanic Risk Analysis and Socio-Economic Impacts at University of Geneva University of Geneva in Switzerland

VAW Glaciology at ETH Zurich is hiring a Doctoral Student in Glaciology and Glacial Hazards for the #ICEFAL project, a Swiss-French collaboration focused on how rising ice temperatures affect the stability of cold hanging glaciers and their potential to trigger large ice avalanches. The project combines field measurements at high-elevation sites in the Swiss and French Alps with numerical modelling to build a data-driven hazard index for hanging glaciers. This is a strong fit for students intere...

[For eligible students, the studentship covers home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend.] This PhD studentship at the University of Exeter focuses on how magma-mush processes influence volcanic unrest . The project addresses a major challenge in eruption forecasting and hazard assessment: understanding how subsurface magma movement, accumulation, and heterogeneity shape surface deformation and seismic signals before eruptions. The student will develop and apply new numerical models of m...
