I am looking to grow the Glacier and Climate Dynamics group within the Department of Geography at the University of Oregon!

Undergraduate opportunities: UO undergrads interested in research opportunities are always welcome to reach out. Students from a variety of majors may be well-prepared to get involved, though a strong quantitative background (or drive to develop such skills) will be helpful for the tools used in the Glacier & Climate Dynamics group.

• The Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation supports undergraduate research through a variety of awards and fellowships. If you’re interested in applying with me as a faculty mentor, please get in touch! A range of ice or climate-related topics may be possible.

• Even if specific positions are not immediately open, general inquiries about how to get involved in or prepared for ice- or climate-related research are also welcome.

Graduate opportunities: Applications for Fall 2025 are closed; check back next fall for any opportunities.

General info for potential graduate students: A range of undergraduate majors (e.g., physical geography, earth science, or other natural sciences) may provide suitable background. In general, strong quantitative skills will be important for methods used in the group. While research topics may be quite specialized within glaciology or climate, a desire to engage in the interdisciplinary academic environment of Geography is also important. More info on Geography graduate programs is here.

Postdoctoral opportunities: Those interested in national fellowships (e.g. NSF OPP or EAR; NOAA Climate and Global Change) to be hosted at UO are encouraged to reach out about proposal ideas.
