LAST CALL!!! CLaSH Graduate Summer Field School in Natural Hazards - Apply by 4/30
|
- Are you interested in studying land surface hazards like landslides and post-fire debris flows? And understanding how these processes relate to triggers like earthquakes and storms?
- Does the study of extreme events to serve societal needs and advance understanding of how geomorphic systems work appeal to you?
- Would training on cutting-edge technology to measure land surface change following disasters advance your graduate education?
If these questions speak to you, check out our graduate summer field school in natural hazards sponsored by the Center for Land Surface Hazards (CLaSH). It’s an NSF-supported opportunity to advance your skills, knowledge and connections to other researchers with an intensive, hands-on training experience in Colorado this summer. Better yet, it is an action-packed, six-day experience designed to fit into busy graduate student schedules. Your advisor is sure to say YES!
|
Dates/ Location: July 27 - Aug 1, 2026, Colorado State University Mountain Campus, CO
|
Eligibility: The course is open to any graduate student (MS or PhD) in relevant geoscience and engineering fields who is currently enrolled or matriculating in Fall 2026.
|
|
Costs/ funding availability: Course fee is $850 inclusive of 6 days room/board, course materials and transportation from Denver International Airport or Ft. Collins. We are thrilled to offer full course fee waivers and airfare assistance through NSF support for a limited number of applicants. We have significant funds to distribute, so we strongly encourage you to apply and let us help you get here.

Postdoc Position Available at Brown
|
The Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral research associate in the Experimental Rock Deformation Lab at Brown University. The research project is supported by a grant from the NSF Geophysics Program. The project is aimed at understanding the origin of frictional state evolution. The work involves conducting and analyzing experiments in our Tullis high-pressure rotary-shear friction machine. Applicants with experience in experimental rock deformation are preferred.
|
Further information about the department is available at https://deeps.brown.edu/. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, the names and contact information for two references, and a 3-5 page statement of research that includes a summary of research accomplishments and current research goals. Candidates should address how they would contribute to the research mission of our diverse and inclusive living-learning community. Applications should be submitted via http://apply.interfolio.com/184369 Review of applications will begin on May 18, 2026.
|
|
Questions may be directed by email to Terry_Tullis@brown.edu with Subject: POSTDOC-Brown. Applicants should have a recent Ph.D. (or equivalent) or should be a 2025-2026 degree candidate, for a position start date as early as September 1, 2026. Degree completion is required by the start date of the appointment.

USGS Seeks Earthquake Hazards Research Proposals
|
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is currently soliciting project proposals for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 grants on earthquake hazards science and is authorized to award up to $5 million. Interested researchers can apply online at the following link under funding Opportunity Number G27AS00075. Please review the application instructions found in the GRANTS.GOV solicitation for more information.
The grants offered through the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program (EHP) are a long-standing effort that contributes to the advancement of earthquake research. The Earthquake Hazards Program encourages submission of new ideas that will provide more timely and accurate earthquake information, better characterization of earthquake sources, and a reduction in uncertainty for earthquake-hazard and risk assessments. USGS also seeks proposals that will help to mitigate earthquake losses and better inform the public about earthquakes and earthquake safety, such as earthquake early warning or other scientific efforts that will lead to reduced risk. The complete list of FY2027 EHP science research priorities is included in the grants solicitation found on HERE as well as the EHP External Grants website.
A list of previously funded projects and reports can be found on the USGS EHP external research support website.
