> PhD student position: Organic Geochemistry of the Ediacaran/Cambrian boundary <br>
><br>
> The Max-Planck-Research-Group ‘Organic Paleobiogeochemistry’ (<a href="http://www.bgc-jena.mpg.de/~challmann">www.bgc-jena.mpg.de/~challmann</a>) has an opening for a dynamic and highly motivated PhD student to explore organismic diversity, environmental conditions and nutrient cycling across the Ediacaran/Cambrian boundary in multiple well-preserved correlative localities. <br>
><br>
> During the 3-year project (extension possible) the candidate will have the opportunity to perform fieldwork and attain proficiency with wet-chemical techniques, GC-MS analyses of biomarkers as well as bulk and compound specific stable isotope analyses. Candidates will be encouraged to enroll in specific courses at the University of Bremen and the MPI for Biogeochemistry. Successful candidates should have a recent degree (Diplom, M.Sc. or equivalent), ideally in geosciences, as well as demonstrated experience in organic geochemistry or environmental chemistry. Proficiency of the English language, both spoken and written, is essential. The work location is Bremen, Germany (MARUM). The ideal starting date lies in fall 2014, but is flexible. International candidates are highly encouraged to apply. Applications (motivation letter, CV, list of publications and/or presentations, short statement of research achievements and interests) and inquiries should be sent electronically to Christian Hallmann (<a href="mailto:challmann@bgc-jena.mpg.de">challmann@bgc-jena.mpg.de</a>).<br>
><br>
> Review of applications starts immediately and will close on July 31st. <br>
><br>
> The Max-Planck-Society is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them<br>
> to apply. The Max-Planck-Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are under-<br>
> represented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.<br>
