A PhD position is available within the TAPIR group, focused on the study of mid-latitude glaciers on Mars.

This opportunity will involve geomorphologic mapping, impact crater morphometry, and radar surface reflectivity modeling and analysis, with the goal of characterizing the structure and composition of Martian mid-latitude glaciers. The project involves collaboration with colleagues at other institutions and the SHARAD science team. Additional opportunities to integrate terrestrial analog field work may be available.

Applicants from a broad range of geology and planetary science backgrounds are encouraged to apply. A strong background in geology and/or geophysics is preferred.
