Post Doc in Historical Geobiology using high-stratigraphic resolution geoch

at  KU SCIENCE IGN

The Dahl Group at the Section for Geology is offering a Post Doc position for an excellent, ambitious, and highly motivated candidate with background in experimental sedimentary geochemistry and reconstruction of Earth’s climatic and/or environmental history. The position is temporary and is available from 15 February 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The position is associated with the Research Group for Sedimentary Systems at the Section for Geology, and the Physics of Ice, Climate and Earth section at the Niels Bohr Institute. The successful candidate will have a degree in geoscience with strong experimental skills within geochemistry, geobiology and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. The candidate should have in-depth knowledge of Earth’s long-term environmental and biological history, and experience with geochemical data analyses of sedimentary records, preferably cyclostratigraphic tools and/or wavelet analysis. Experience and expertise with other forms of numerical Earth system data analyses and/or modeling is a plus.
