Phd Position in Antarctic Marine Paleoenvironments

vor 1 Woche


Duesseldorf, Deutschland Universität zu Köln Vollzeit

We are one of the largest and oldest universities in Europe and one of the most important employers in our region.
make us attractive for students and researchers from around the world. We offer a wide range of career opportunities in
science, technology, and administration.

PhD position in Antarctic
marine paleoenvironments (f/m/x)

The position is funded by the DFG within the framework of
the Priority Programme SPP1158 Antarctic Research. The
project aims to utilize biogenic deposits of Antarctic seabirds
(snow petrels) as a means to study and reconstruct Holo
- cene sea-ice conditions in the coastal zone of the Southern
Ocean. This involves employing a multiproxy approach that
combines inorganic, lipid and isotope geochemical analyses
to infer past changes in the diet of the snow petrel and to link
these changes to environmental conditions such as sea ice
variability, polynya activity and primary production. The pro
- ject is linked to a larger initiative investigating the interaction
between the ice sheet, ocean and atmosphere in relation to
the stability of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.

YOUR TASKS
- Analysis of lipid biomarkers from fossil stomach oil

deposits and modern reference material, involving
GC-FID and GC-MS
- Conducting and evaluating GC-MS-IRMS measurements
for compound-specific δ 13C analysis of selected lipid
compounds
- Integration of modern observations of snow petrel
ecology with paleo-reconstructions based on stomach
oil deposits
- Integration of evidence from multiproxy studies from
different sediment archives (terrestrial and marine)
- Active participation in research communication (semi
- nars, conferences, publication in international journals)

YOUR PROFILE
- M.Sc. in the field of Geosciences
- Good knowledge of organic geochemistry, geobiology

or Quaternary geology
- Motivation to work in an interdisciplinary research

environment
- Good understanding of the interrelationships between

ecology and environmental conditions
- Good understanding of palaeoceanography and

processes of the interaction between land and ocean
- Willingness to collaborate with scientists within and

outside the project and to establish new scientific
cooperations
- Ability to work both in a team and independently
- Excellent communication skills in written and spoken

English

WE OFFER
- Working in an internationally well-established research

group with the opportunity to earn a PhD. degree
- Extensive advanced training opportunities within

the GSGS graduate school of the Department of
Geosciences
- A diverse working environment with equal opportunities
- Support in balancing work and family life
- Extensive advanced training opportunities
- Occupational health management offers

The position is to be filled at the earliest possible date
on a part-time basis (26,5 hours per week). It is limited
for three years. If the applicant meets the relevant wage
requirements and personal qualifications, the salary will be
based on remuneration group 13 TV-L of the pay scale for
the German public sector.
