The University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) are seeking applicants for a Ph.D. student to complete field and laboratory research on Alaskan paleoclimate using stable isotopes in ground ice of permafrost. The study area is located near Fairbanks, Alaska, and will involve analyzing ice wedges and other types of ice in the context of their stratigraphy, sedimentology and age, with lab work conducted in the newly-established Las Vegas Isotope Science (LVIS) Lab at UNLV. Previous experience in paleoclimatology and/or stable isotope geochemistry is preferred. The ability to work in difficult field situations and to solve problems is required.
