Job description

Offer DescriptionA PhD position in Geodynamics is open at the of the (UOW) and (IPGP), France. The successful candidate will join a research team investigating the . The aim of this PhD research is to investigate the effects of mantle convection on the magnetic field as the inner core grew, and possible links with the evolution of complex life. The objectives of this PhD research are (i) to quantify the relationship between sinking of oceanic lithosphere and the evolution of the core-mantle boundary heat flow, (ii) to quantify the relationships between core-mantle boundary heat flux and the reversal rate of Earth’s magnetic field, and (iii) to develop core simulations consistent with the predicted evolution of the mantle for direct comparison with paleomagnetic observations. The successful candidate will work with Associate Professor Nicolas Flament (UOW) and Dr Maylis Landeau (IPGP).The position is available now to start in late 2024 or early 2025. The PhD scholarship (2024 rate: AU$34,000/yr, tax-free) is available for 3.5 years, which is the expected time to obtain a PhD at UOW. Research support for the successful candidate includes computer equipment, travel to conferences, and travel to visit research collaborators.If you are currently studying geophysics, fluid mechanics or another similarly quantitative discipline and are interested in applying these skills to better understand the evolution of our planet, this could be the PhD for you.The successful candidate will have excellent marks in their undergraduate degree and must have completed a research thesis (e.g. Honours, Masters, MSci) of similarly high quality. Candidates should demonstrate knowledge of solid Earth processes, quantitative skills, and programming skills (for example, python).

Please send expressions of interest to Associate Professor Nicolas Flament ( ) and Dr Maylis Landeau ( ) with the subject line ‘Expression of interest – PhD in Geodynamics’, and including the following documents (in pdf format): * A cover letter including statement of research experience and interests (maximum two pages)

• A CV, including contact information for at least two references
• Copies of your academic transcripts
