Please see below for th= e complete text and further links. I would be very grateful if you could forward this advertisement to potent= ial candidates in your lab (students, grad students, postdocs). Many thanks, Enno **************************************************************************= ********************************* The new project "A new hydrogen-isotope approach to understand North Afric= an monsoon changes in the Holocene (HYDRACENE)" funded in the framework of th= e DFG Priority program `INTERDYNAMIK=B4 aims at investigating the hydrological c= ycle of North-West Africa during abrupt climate changes in the Holocene by continental hydrol= ogic reconstructions using compound-specific hydrogen isotope analyses and atmo= spheric isotope modeling. Within this interdisciplinary project, opportunities exi= st for a postdoctoral researcher and a Ph.D. student. The 2-year position for an enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher in the fie= ld of Organic and Isotope Geochemistry and Paleo-Climatology is located at MARUM - Cente= r for Marine Environmental Sciences, Bremen, Germany. The postdoctoral researche= r will reconstruct continental hydrologic changes based on compound-specific hydr= ogen isotopes in plant lipids from high-resolution marine sediment cores. Linkages to oc= eanic climate changes will be examined by reconstructing ocean temperatures. In close co= llaboration with paleo-climate modelers detailed data-model comparison will be conducted. The full job advertisement can be found at: http://www.marum.de/en/Page6079.html#Section31262 The Ph.D. position for a highly motivated student with interest/background= in the field of Earth System Modeling and Paleo-Climatology is available at the AWI - A= lfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, Germany. The= PhD candidate will perform simulations of Holocene climate evolution (hydrolog= ic cycle, water isotopes, surface temperatures) using a state-of-the-art Earth System Mode= l. The aim is the identification of forcing mechanisms responsible for climatic changes obse= rved in newly derived proxy records. The successful applicant will be part of the Paleoc= limate Dynamics Research Group which has a lively, active and international atmosphere. Further information can be found at: http://www.awi.de/en/research/research_divisions/climate_science/paleoclim= ate_dynamics/ Requirements for postdoctoral researcher: * Ph.D. in geosciences, chemistry, biology or related fields * Hands-on experience in isotopic analyses of various sample materials * Knowledge of atmospheric and biological isotope fractionation processe= s and experience in organic geochemical methods are a benefit * Interest in Paleo-Climatology and Paleo-Climate modeling Requirements for Ph.D. student: * Academic qualification comparable to a German Diploma degree (e.g., a Master's degree including a written thesis) in a related disc= ipline * Proficiency in English (oral and written) * Experience/interest in programming (preferably Fortran 90) Starting date for both positions is January 2010 (negotiable). Duration of= the postdoctoral research position is 24 months; the Ph.D. position will be funded for 36 m= onths. An extension of the postdoctoral project by one year is intended. Salary and benefits will be according to the German employee scale TV-L 13= (postdoctoral researcher) and TV-L 13/2 (Ph.D. student). Applications should include a CV, copies of relevant documents, publicatio= ns if applicable, a statement describing research interests and experience, and contact inform= ation for two referees (postdoctoral researcher position only). Please only provide copi= es, as documents cannot be returned and will be destroyed after the application process. The University of Bremen and AWI aim at an increase of the number of women= in the scientific staff and therefore encourage women to apply. In case of equal personal aptitudes and qualification priority will be giv= en to disabled persons. Application review begins October 10, 2009; the positions are open until f= illed. Applications and enquiries for the postdoctoral position should be directed to Dr. Enno= Schefu=DF, preferentially by email (schefuss@uni-bremen.de).
