PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Geodynamics and Surface Processes
This PhD project aims to quantify and model the 3D structure and evolution of the Southern Pyrenees foreland fold and thrust belt and its associated surface process response. The structural style of foreland fold and thrust belts (FTB) as observed in the Southern Pyrenees is highly variable in width, structural style, and topography. Long term sediment input onto the foreland basin combines with short-term mass wasting events possibly resulting from large catastrophic seismic events. How short and long-term deposition affect the evolving thrust belt is unclear. The aim of this project is to understand how pre-existing extensional structure, distribution of the salt decollement horizons and climate driven short- and long-term changes in sediment input control evolving FTB structure and associated sediment routing systems. We will use the existing high quality data base for the Southern Pyrenees and combine this with high resolution coupled 3D forward tectonic surface process models (Year 1). We will test the role of lateral changes in decollement horizon rheology and of temporal variations in erosion and sediment transport on evolving foreland fold and thrust belt structure (Year 2 and 3).

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Geodynamics and Surface Processes
This PhD project aims to quantify and model the 3D evolution of the southern Andes foreland foldand-thrust belt. The structural style of the foreland fold and thrust belt (FTB) as observed in the external parts of the Andes shows significant along strike variability in width, structural style, and topography that appears linked to pre-existing structure (i.e., the so-called broken foreland and extensional inheritance), to variations in available shale and / or salt decollements, and to variable sediment input. The relative importance of these controls, the consequence for 3D variations in FTB structure, and how the resulting topography controls sediment routing systems are unclear. The main aim of this project is to understand how pre-existing structures, distribution of decollement horizons and climate driven short- and long-term changes in sediment input control the 3D evolving FTB structure and associated sediment routing systems. We will complement the data compiled by DC8 and create a 3D structural and stratigraphic framework for selected cross sections along the Andean foreland (Year 1). We will combine this with high resolution coupled 3D forward tectonic surface process models and test the role of lateral changes in decollement horizon rheology and of temporal variations in erosion and sediment transport on evolving FTB structure (Year 2 and 3).

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in high-resolution sedimentary dynamics of rifts during rapid climate change.
This PhD project aims to investigate the stratigraphic signature of rift basins with respect to the role of short-term (<100 kyr) climate change on syn-rift depositionalsystems orthe coupling between climate-driven changes in surface processes (erosion/sediment supply) and rift deformation. The initial objective is to analyse the sedimentology and stratigraphy of an active rift where it is possible to constrain tectonic and climatic controls at high resolution, and where the sediment source areas are still preserved, such as the Corinth Rift, Greece. The PhD candidate will then simulate the stratigraphic architecture of syn-rift depositional systems using tectonic, climatic and sediment supply parameters derived from the Corinth Rift (Years 1 and 2). This will allow investigation of the roles of high frequency climate change and tectonicsin controlling depositionalsystem and theirstratigraphic evolution of the Corinth Rift, and investigation of feedback between surface processes and tectonics. This approach will then be applied to other well documented rift systems, such as the Gulf of California, or the Suez Rift, Egypt (Year 2 and 3).

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Causal Decision Making
Causality is a fast-developing area of machine learning, holding the promise to improve artificial reasoning and intelligence. Causal models can provide reliable formal tools to agents and policy-makers to evaluate alternative courses of action and design effective polices.
This project is interested in considering how causal models can be learned and exploited in the context of decision-making. In particular, it will consider the scenario in which one or more learning agents have the possibility of relying on multiple causal models describing their environment. Research will span the space of causality, causal abstraction, causal representation learning and reinforcement learning; the PhD project itself can follow multiple directions, ranging from more theoretical studies on how these models may be related and what guarantees they could provide, to more methodological research on the design of novel algorithms aimed at improving decision-making.

Ammonia is the most important ingredient in the production of artificial fertilizers and is also a very promising carbon-free energy carrier. Ammonia is produced via the so-called Haber-Bosch process, which requires high temperatures and pressures using hydrogen from natural gas. The research group works to make ammonia production more sustainable and environmentally friendly and develops catalysts and processes for the synthesis of ammonia directly from water and nitrogen. The research fellow’s project is part of this work, and the scholarship holder will, together with other researchers in the project group, design, synthesize, test, and immobilize new catalysts for the conversion of nitrogen and water into ammonia. In general, the research group uses insights and predictions from quantum chemical calculations to design catalysts, and these catalysts are next synthesized and tested in the group’s laboratory. We are looking for a research fellow with the right background and motivation to strengthen the experimental side of the overall project. Specifically, this work will consist of synthesis of novel molecular and immobilized catalysts, followed by evaluation of the performance of the new catalysts using bench-scale reactors.
