PhD in Environmental Geophysics and Arctic Science
University of Toronto
Department of Earth Sciences
22 Ursula Franklin St., Toronto, ON, M5S 3B1
Hydrological Sciences (HS)
The Environmental Geophysics Lab in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Toronto is recruiting PhD students (Fall 2025) to conduct research at the interface of near-surface geophysics and Arctic environmental science. The student will use a combination of noninvasive 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.
Qualifications
Successful applicants are expected to have a M.Sc. degree in geophysics, earth science/geoscience, geology, physics, or engineering. Experience with near-surface geophysical methods and fieldwork in cold regions is desired. A willingness to work closely with the other students and collaborators is expected.
