University of Bremen
Germany
Deadline for the application: December 31, 2013.
Description
The Research Center/Cluster of Excellence “The Ocean in the Earth System” (MARUM) at the University of Bremen, Germany, has the overarching scientific goal to achieve a better understanding of key processes in the marine environment. The research themes are: Ocean and Climate, Geosphere-Biosphere Interactions and Sediment Dynamics.
MARUM is offering a PhD position in the field of paleoceanography. We are searching for highly motivated applicants with a strong background in stable isotope geochemistry and/or ocean modeling for a project with the topic: Deglacial changes in deep Atlantic stratification.
The aim of this project is to model changes in the Atlantic deep-water circulation during the last deglaciation with isotope-enabled models and to compare the results to foraminiferal stable isotope data. The study is directed towards a better understanding of interactions between water mass changes and the meridional overturning circulation of the Atlantic Ocean.
Requirements
Applicants should hold a M.Sc. or Diploma in Physics, Physical Oceanography, Geosciences or a related subject. Furthermore, they should have a strong interest in Quaternary paleoceanography. Excellent English speaking and writing skills are a prerequisite. Experience in scientific data analysis and programming is desirable.
More information and applications
The position is available under the condition of job release and is limited to a term of 3 years starting in February 2014 and funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG). Salary and benefits are commensurate with the federal German employee scale TV-L 13 (66.6%). Applications should include a CV, a list of publications, a statement describing research interests, the applicant’s research and technical background as they relate to the position and contact information for three referees.
More information on research and technology at the MARUM is available at www.marum.de.
As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female employees in science, women are particularly encouraged to apply. In case of equal personal aptitudes and qualification priority will be given to disabled persons. Applicants with a migratory background and international applications are highly welcome. Applications should be directed electronically (combined within a single PDF document) with the reference number A 285/13 to Dr. Stefan Mulitza (smulitza@marum.de).
