This new method is a prerequisite for many of the exciting ice core projects to be realized in the coming years. Dependent on the release of funds we search within deepSLice for a PostDoc (2 years with the option to extend to 5 years, starting date as early 01.10.2015) <b>with a PhD in (environmental) physics, (geo-) chemistry or a related field</b></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;letter-spacing:1px">The PostDoc will build a novel semi-continuous sublimation system at the University of Bern for full air extraction of small air samples in polar ice cores. After the development phase, this system will be coupled to a Quantum Cascade Laser Spectrometer also developed within deepSLice and used in various ice core applications within the project. </p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;letter-spacing:1px">The aptitude to develop new analytical methods is essential, experience with gas analytical methods (gas chromatography, laser spectrometry etc.) is desirable. The work of the PostDoc will take place in close collaboration with scientists at the University of Bern and the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology Empa. Accordingly, the ability to work in a team is essential.</p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;letter-spacing:1px">The University of Bern is home of the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research (<a href="http://www.oeschger.unibe.ch/" style="color:rgb(0,51,255);text-decoration:none">http://www.oeschger.unibe.ch</a>), the Graduate School of Climate Sciences (<a href="http://www.climatestudies.unibe.ch/" style="color:rgb(0,51,255);text-decoration:none">http://www.climatestudies.unibe.ch</a>) and the Division for Climate and Environmental Physics (<a href="http://www.climate.unibe.ch/" style="color:rgb(0,51,255);text-decoration:none">http://www.climate.unibe.ch</a>), one of the leading groups in ice core sciences.
