Employment and Research Opportunities
CCRN aims to understand, diagnose and predict interactions amongst the cryospheric, ecological, hydrological and climate components of the changing Earth system at multiple scales. CCRN will investigate a set of critical cold region environments, including the Western Cordillera, Western Boreal Forest, Lowland Permafrost and Prairies, and their integrated response at the scales of the Saskatchewan, Mackenzie and Peace-Athabasca basins and the regional climate system.
Effective immediately, applications are invited for graduate studentships and post-doctoral fellowships (PDF) for field and modelling research in the following areas:
- Modelling for the diagnosis of environmental change (1 PDF);
- Land surface and large-scale river basin modelling (1 PDF and 1 PhD);
- Diagnostics of glacier-hydrological regime changes (1 MSc);
- Changing mountain snow and ice hydrology (1 PDF or 2 PhD);
- Coupled hydrological-geochemical modelling (1 PDF); and,
- Sensitivity of tree growth to climate across ecotone boundaries (1 MSc or PhD).
A list of available postings for the CCRN is available here.
