[ES_JOBS_NET] 3-year Post-Doctoral Position in Palaeoceanography & Geochemistry at NUI Galway, Ireland

[Morley, Audrey]

Dear All,


Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time, fixed term, three-year position as a postdoctoral researcher with the Discipline of Geography at the National University of Ireland, Galway.  This position is funded by the Marine Institute of Ireland and is in association with the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, Bergen, Norway (Professor Ulysses Ninnemann), and the National Oceanographic Centre at Southampton, UK (Professor Gavin Foster). The term of contract is for a period of three years from the day of appointment.


NUI Galway seeks a highly motivated, high-potential applicant for a position as a Postdoctoral Researcher to work within the research project: "Decoding Arctic Climate Change: From Archive to Insight", in short ACCAI.



In conjunction with Cruise CIAAN to the Nordic Seas in August-September 2020 on RV Celtic Explorer, project ACCAI aims to develop new palaeoceanographic tools that will enable us to monitor long-term processes in atmosphere-ocean CO2 exchange and climate change. Specifically, ACCAI intends to determine how the signature of Essential Climate Variables (e.g. temperature, salinity, and the carbonate system) are recorded in the Nordic Seas and transferred into geologic archives (marine sediments). To track the climate signal from the water to the archive the successful candidate will combine a hydrographic survey in the Nordic Seas with the collection of live foraminifera collected via plankton tows and recently deposited foraminifera in surface marine sediments. Using new developments in isotope and trace element geochemistry, the fellow will then be able to tease out the climate signal recorded in the shells of the foraminifera.
