<div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><font face="Times New Roman">PhD Research Fellow within Water Isotope Research</font></b></span></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman"><br>
</font></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><font face="Times New Roman">There is a vacancy for a PhD Research Fellow within Water Isotope Research at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen. The position is for a fixed-term period of 3 years and is associated
with the research project Isotopic Transfer Rates During Water Phase Changes funded by the Research Council of Norway. The position is at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen, with an affiliation at the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research.</font></span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: medium;"><font face="Times New Roman">About the project/work tasks </font></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><font face="Times New Roman">The project “Isotopic Transfer Rates during Water Phase Changes - iTRANSFER” consists of an experimental and modeling component that will establish an accurate basis for the use of water isotopic
composition in studies of the terrestrial and extraterrestrial hydrological cycle. The iTRANSFER project will use new precise water isotopologue spectroscopy analyzers in experimental laboratory setups to measure the isotopologue transfer rates. Water isotopologue
spectroscopy analyzers allow developing new experimental setups utilizing the possibility for continuous measurements of the water vapor isotopologue composition and the need for only very small sample volumes. The iTRANSFER project will furthermore use climate
models equipped with water isotopologues together with networks of in-situ atmospheric water vapor isotopologue measurements to evaluate the effect of the new and more accurate fractionation factors. The task of the successful research fellow will carry out
world class research with the focus on quantifying equilibrium fractionation factors for water isotopologues during phase change between vapor and solid at temperatures between 0°C and -60°C, between vapor and super cooled liquid at temperatures between 0°C
and - 20°C, and during phase change between liquid and ice. In addition, the successful research fellow will quantify molecular diffusivity for the water isotopologues in air at different temperatures and quantify influence of wind speed on the structure of
the diffusion dominated sub-layer in contact with the interphase of the water surface.</font></span></div>
