investigates the long journey that
marine sedimentary components experiment in the ocean since
their formation

reconstructions. <span style="color:black">Their secondary
transport to distant locations introduces
allochthonous climate signals in paleoclimate records, raising
questions about
the robustness and fidelity of corresponding climate

aims to fill in the knowledge gap on particle transport modes,
to generate a

provide an accessible
approach to correct them. Full information about the project

combination of
biogeochemical techniques, exploring the geochemical,
sedimentological and
micropaleontological characterization of sedimentary particles,

implementation of isotope mixing models and correction of
existing records.
This researcher will work with the samples from the first
sediment traps ever
recovered from the SW Iberian margin, a benchmark region for
paleoclimate
studies at mid-latitudes. </span></font><br>

<br>
<font face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB">We
look for a highly motivated and proactive Postdoc with a PhD
title in Earth
Sciences, Marine Sciences, Environmental Sciences, or related
disciplines
relevant to the position. Candidates are expected to have a
strong interest in the
global (organic) carbon cycle, modern ocean hydrology and
paleoclimate. Candidates
are expected to carry out laboratory work, analytical work, data
analyses and
interpretation. Candidates with previous experience in sediment
trap research
and/or radiocarbon of organic carbon are highly welcome.
Programming skills in
R or Matlab are ideal. They should be able to work both
independently and
within our team. Good understanding, spoken and written English
skills are
essential to successfully conduct the research. </span></font><br>
