[ES_JOBS_NET] Two postdoc and one PhD position at Physics of Ice, Climate and Earth, University of Copenhagen

[Erika MARIN-SPIOTTA]

Two postdoc and one PhD position at Physics of Ice, Climate and Earth, University of Copenhagen
Application deadline for all positions is 24.11.2019 with start 01.02.2020 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Postdoc on ocean heat content (time limited position of up to 24 months)
The project aims at reconstructing global ocean heat content from noble gas measurements in antique samples. The solubility of gases in the ocean depend on ocean temperature, and this effect can be used to inform about global ocean heat content (e.g. Bereiter et al. 2018, Nature, doi:10.1038/nature25152). The postdoc will be part of the gas laboratory team of Physics of Ice, Climate and Earth that works on reconstructing past atmospheric conditions and ice cores. The project has an extensive experimental component including building/modifying part of the existing measurement system. We are therefore looking for experimentally skilled applicants preferentially with experience in mass spectrometry.

Postdoc (time limited position up to 34 month) and PhD (3 years) on methane from ice cores
This project aims at identifying methane sources from the isotopic composition of methane measured on air entrapped in polar ice sheets. During the last glacial period methane concentrations changed rapidly over Dansgaard-Oeschger events and it has been suggested that changes in tropical sources are responsible for the change (e.g. Rhodes et al., Science, 348, 1016-1019, 10.1126/science.1262005, 2015). The postdoc will form a team with the PhD candidate working on the same project but with different tasks. The project has an extensive experimental component including building/modifying part of the existing measurement system. We are therefore looking for experimentally skilled applicants preferentially with experience in mass spectrometry.
