Research Position in Carbon Cycling

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to contribute to the development of a new landscape-scale concept for future land use or management that takes into account their carbon storage potential with the aim of achieving net-zero landscapes.

About the Project
The project will focus on river systems in Northeastern Germany using sedimentary archives of the recent geological past and a diverse set of tools, from sedimentology, geomorphology, paleoclimatology, organic and inorganic geochemistry on fluvial sediments and marine archives during periods of natural climate variability and major human disruptions.

Your Responsibilities
  • Perform sedimentological, geomorphological, organic and inorganic geochemical analyses on fluvial and potentially marine sediment archives
  • Extract, purify and analyse terrestrial biomarkers and their radiogenic and stable carbon and hydrogen isotope ratios to trace carbon through the landscape
  • Obtain a detailed understanding of the natural processes and human perturbations that alter the carbon budget of a fluvial landscape
  • Publish key results in international journals and present them at scientific meetings

Requirements
  • PhD degree (or equivalent) in the (bio)geosciences (geology, physical geography, environmental sciences, geoecology or related fields), with evidence of excellence in guided research
  • A capacity for quickly grasp scientific concepts and place detailed information and observations in a wider context
  • An ability to independently develop the project in the framework of the PI group
  • A talent for combining techniques and insights from different disciplines, and a keen interest in carbon cycling
  • Experience in sediment coring, sampling and (organic) geochemical analysis is an advantage
  • Very good English skills, both written and spoken
  • High motivation and creativity as well as a result-oriented, structured and independent working attitude
  • Willingness and ability to work in a diverse, interdisciplinary and international team
