Dear Colleagues,

I am recruiting one Ph.D. student to join the Hydrologic Interfaces and Processes Laboratory for Fall 2025. This position is fully funded and supports student tuition, benefits, and a competitive graduate stipend. While there is flexibility on the potential research projects, all projects focus on bacterially mediated reactive transport in confined geometries. Potential projects include:

• Using experiments and modeling to investigate the fate of pharmaceuticals and their degradation byproducts in river sediments (learn more).

• Investigating feedbacks between mass transport, microbial growth, and reactions in confined flows (e.g., groundwater, the human gut) using microfluidics (learn more).

Special recruiting announcements:

CENEX is looking for one or two graduate students (MS or PhD) to conduct palynological (microfossils) analyses of samples recovered from IODP expedition 401 with the objective of Investigating Miocene Mediterranean–Atlantic Gateway Exchange. Background in palynology a plus but not required. Students should be detailed oriented, patient and love spending time at the microscope. Contact Dr. Sophie Warny at swarny@lsu.edu if interested or for questions. Lab and IODP 401 details found here.

Adam Forte is recruiting a PhD student for a project that seeks to understand how variations in the spatial footprint of runoff events influence long-term landscape evolution. The project will involve significant landscape evolution model use and development, and as such, a student with an interest in numerical modeling and ideally some experience with programming (python preferred, but experiences with other languages are beneficial) would be ideal. While modeling and model development makes up the bulk, there are potential opportunities for the student to participate in field work in the western US, 10Be cosmogenic erosion rate analysis, hydroclimatology data analysis, and topographic analysis. Interested students should contact Adam Forte (aforte8@lsu.edu).

Eirini Poulaki is recruiting two students for two fully funded PhD projects in metamorphic petrochronology and (micro)structural geology: 1. NSF funded project in reconciling the geophysical observations of slow slip and tremor in subduction zones with geologic and rheological constraints. The project will involve a significant component of fieldwork in the Franciscan, California, (and if desired by the student in the Cyclades, Greece), geochronology/geochemistry, metamorphic petrology, and structural work. 2. Investigating feedback between deformation and fluid/rock interactions during mantle exhumation. This project will utilize existing samples collected during IODP Expedition 402 in the Tyrrhenian Sea. This work will involve geochronology/geochemistry, microstructural work, and stable isotope analyses. Interested students please contact Eirini Poulaki (epoulaki@lsu.edu).

Brandon Shuck is recruiting one PhD student for an NSF-funded project investigating mantle dynamics during incipient seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean using marine geophysical data. The project seeks to understand how anomalous mantle temperature, composition, and flow patterns from prior subduction & supercontinent cycle influence subsequent mid-ocean ridge processes. The student will have the opportunity to sail on the R/V Marcus Langseth for a 42-day cruise to acquire new marine seismic data in the western Atlantic, spanning the first ~50 Myr of seafloor spreading recording the initial breakup of Pangea. The student will analyze these data as part of their dissertation to constrain the evolution of oceanic lithosphere and conduct petrologic models of mantle melting and crustal accretion to infer the asthenospheric conditions during upwelling beneath the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Experience in inversion and interpretation of marine seismic data, quantitative skills, as well as programming in shell/python is preferred. However, general enthusiasm and interest in studying tectonic processes with geophysical data is the most important. Interested students should contact Brandon Shuck (bshuck@lsu.edu).
