OPPORTUNITIES

UNDERGRADUATE FINAL YEAR PROJECT 

Seeking HKU undergraduate students to join the lab to conduct final year project research on sea-level change of the China coast.  The FYP students will receive training in one or more of the following area:

• Sample collection in mangrove and intertidal environments.

• Sample preparation and physical (e.g. grain-size analysis), biological (e.g. foraminifera, diatoms) and geochemical (e.g. stable isotopes) laboratory techniques.

• Data analysis, interpretation and archiving of sea-level data.

PHD STUDENTSHIPS

Seeking 2 highly motivated PhD students to join the lab interested in research in one or more of the following areas:

• Producing new, high-resolution records of relative sea-level change from tropical, sub-tropical, and temperature locations using microfossil (e.g., foraminifera, diatoms, pollen), geochemical (e.g., stable carbon isotopes), or novel (e.g., DNA signatures) proxies

• Developing sea-level databases spanning the Last Glacial Maximum to present to reveal spatio-temporal patterns and mechanisms of past relative sea-level change, particularly on Chinese, Australian, African, and Scandinavian coastlines

• Deciphering mechanisms of paleoenvironmental change and carbon storage in coastal settings

Applicants with a strong undergraduate background are encouraged to apply through the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme: https://cerg1.ugc.edu.hk/hkpfs/index.html

HKU PRESIDENTIAL POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP

Applicants who recently (within 2 years) graduated with a PhD are encouraged to apply for an attractive postdoctoral fellowship scheme through the University of Hong Kong. More details are available here: https://jobs.hku.hk/cw/en/job/495590/presidential-postdoctoral-fellows
