<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The Paleoceanography and Paleoclimate Group at the Department of Geoscience, Aarhus University, Denmark, invites applications for a position in paleoceanography at the postdoctoral level. The successful candidate will
be part of a research group studying Holocene and late Quaternary paleoclimate and paleoceanography of the North Atlantic and Arctic regions. The postdoctoral project is part of the large international EU Horizon Europe project,
</span><a href="https://www.grida.no/activities/1027"><span lang="EN-US">Sea-Quester </span></a><span lang="EN-US">on the effect of climate change on carbon cycling and burial in the Arctic region. The role of Aarhus University in the project is to provide

<strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">Job description</span></strong><o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The postdoctoral project will focus on investigating the link between temporal changes in climate, biodiversity and ecosystems in the Greenland and North Atlantic regions, with special focus on the carbon cycle and the
burial and fate of carbon in the sediments. Specific tasks will include the quantification of carbon sequestration in sea-floor sediments across space and time and to investigate links between climatic and environmental conditions and carbon burial. Other
questions to address include the role of the benthic fauna in carbon sequestration and identifying and distinguishing the various sources of carbon input to the sediments. The successful candidate will be investigating marine sediment cores using tools from
organic and inorganic geochemistry, micropaleontology, and sedimentology. Within the Sea-Quester project's framework, there is considerable freedom for the postdoctoral researcher to develop the project with the Aarhus University hosts.
