Interested in joining the group?

I am looking for enthusiastic students and postdocs to work with me in the Earth & Planetary Sciences department at UC Santa Cruz.

Research topics could include (but not limited to!):
- ice sheets, sea-level, and climate change
- solid Earth deformation over the ice age
- landscape evolution


Interested students should email Tamara Pico with a brief statement of research interests. In particular I would recommend the following:

1) Peruse this website and read about the different past and ongoing group research projects. To get a sense of what it is like to work in our group consider reading the Pico Group Manual.

2) Read 1-2 papers closely - it will be useful to know what topics you are interested in!

3) Write an email that includes the following:

• A short summary (one paragraph or less) of your background and career goals.

• A short summary (one paragraph or less) of why you want to join our group specifically.

• A short summary (one paragraph or less) of a research problem you are interested in working on. (This is not binding in any way, but will give me a sense of what you are excited about and how you think.)

• Your current CV and (for prospective undergrad or grad students) unofficial transcripts.

See this article for advice on emailing prospective advisors!
