<div class="gmail_quote"><br>======== POSTDOC MODELLING ANCIENT OCEAN CHEMISTRY ===========================<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We have two years of funding to support a postdoctoral fellow to model the<br>
chemical evolution of marine chemistry through geologic time. The successful<br>
candidate will both use and further develop existing 3-D ocean models such as<br>
the ROMS (Regional Ocean Modelling System) or MITgcm, with the inclusion of<br>
the relevant microbial cycles as revealed from the geologic record.<br>
<br>
We anticipate the further development of this platform into an interactive<br>
model coupling the evolution of ocean chemistry with the evolution of<br>
atmosphere composition. This position is placed at the Nordic Center for<br>
Earth Evolution (NordCEE) [1] and is in association with the Danish<br>
Institute for Advanced Study (DIAS) [2] under the project From the beginning<br>
of time to life supported by the VKR Foundation.<br>
<br>
The selected candidate will have demonstrated exceptional scientific<br>
qualities, including proficiency in modelling, and as part of DIAS, the<br>
candidate should be willing to communicate their research at public lectures<br>
and to take active part in DIAS’s highly interdisciplinary outreach events.<br>
<br>
