Geophysicist for Permafrost Research in the Arctic

1 week ago


Old Toronto, Canada European Geosciences Union Full time

We are seeking a Geophysicist to conduct research at the interface of near-surface geophysics and Arctic environmental science. The successful candidate will use a combination of non-invasive field geophysical methods, field observations, geophysical modeling, and remote sensing to investigate permafrost dynamics below lakes and drained lake basins in the Arctic and boreal regions of Canada and Alaska.

The Environmental Geophysics Lab employs several near-surface geophysical methods, including ground penetrating radar, transient electromagnetics, electrical resistivity tomography, and nuclear magnetic resonance.

Our ideal candidate is expected to have a strong background in geophysics, earth science/geoscience, geology, physics, or engineering, with experience in near-surface geophysical methods and fieldwork in cold regions. A willingness to work closely with the other students and collaborators is essential.

A PhD in Environmental Geophysics and Arctic Science is a stepping stone for a career in research and development of novel geophysical techniques for understanding permafrost dynamics. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with experts in the field and contribute to groundbreaking research projects.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Conducting research using near-surface geophysical methods
  • Collecting and analyzing data from field experiments
  • Developing and applying new geophysical techniques
  • Collaborating with researchers and students

We offer a competitive salary range of $80,000 - $110,000 CAD annually, depending on qualifications and experience. Additional benefits include access to cutting-edge research facilities, opportunities for professional development, and a collaborative work environment.
