We are looking for a Post doc and PhD. Student for an ETH-Funded Project aiming at reconstructing the pole-to-equator temperature gradient in the Eocene based on clumped isotope analysis of palaeosol carbonates. Clumped isotope analyses will be complemented with organic geochemical and compound-specific hydrogen isotope analysis of the associated organic matter. The project is a collaboration with Dr. Tim White at Penn State University and will focus on the analysis on a large set of well-dated palaeosols in a transect from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. The post-doctoral fellow is initially funded for a year and will focus principally on the north-American sites, the PhD student is funded for 3 years and will concentrate principally on the south American sites. Both projects will require field work.<br>
<br>
We are looking for motivated individuals, with a good grasp of laboratory techniques, previous experience with clumped isotope analysis would be a plus but is not a prerequisite. Ideally both positions would start in autumn 2014, latest possible start is February 2015<br>
For further information contact Stefano Bernasconi directly.<br>

Applicants should send a cover letter, CV, contact details of 2 referees by e-mail to <a href="mailto:stefano.bernasconi@erdw.ethz.ch">stefano.bernasconi@erdw.ethz.ch</a><br>
