EarthShape: Earth Surface Shaping by Biota. A German-Chilean Priority Program in the Chilean Coast Range



The new German Priority Program (Schwerpunktprogramm der DFG) 1803 "EarthShape - Earth Surface Shaping by Biota" will explore how biologic processes form soil, influence topography, and thereby shape the Earth surface. You will work in a consortium of 13 interdisciplinary projects comprising 17 new PhD positions and 3 Postdocs that encompass the fields Geology, Ecology, Soil Sciences, Geography, Microbiology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry. EarthShape research will be conducted at four study sites within in the Chilean Coastal Range that features one of Earth's most spectacular vegetation gradients and is controlled by climate ranging from hyper-arid to humid temperate. It is a natural laboratory to study how biology and topography interact. You will be trained in interdisciplinary methods and conduct joint field work and training workshops.
The program is coordinated by Todd Ehlers (todd.ehlers@uni-tuebingen.de) and Friedhelm von Blanckenburg (fvb@gfz-potsdam.de). Interested applicants should contact the supervisors at the potential host institutions (see list below, these will also handle your applications). An MSc or Diplom degree is required for admission into PhD programs at German Universities. Projects will begin between January and March 2016 and are funded for three years. The application deadline for most positions is around October 15, 2015. Additional information about each position and contact information the supervisor is available on the "Positions open" link atwww.earthshape.net
