Postdoctoral Fellowship in Paleoclimate Modeling, IPRC, University of Hawaii

The International Pacific Research Center (IPRC) of the School of Ocean and Earth Science Technology (SOEST) of the University of Hawaii invites applications for a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship. We are seeking candidates with interest in paleo-climate dynamics and modeling, ice-sheet climate interactions and carbon cycle dynamics.

Application deadline: November 15th, 2010, or until position is filled. For questions concerning this ad, contact Prof. Axel Timmermann, telephone: (808) 956-2720, email: axel@hawaii.edu. For more information about the IPRC and the paleo-research group, see our web site at: http://iprc.soest.hawaii.edu/users/axel/Site/Research_Group.html

3-year PDRA position in Global Carbon Cycle Modelling and Geological Data Synthesis; reconstructing past changes in calcium carbonate preservation in ocean sediments and using an Earth system model to interpret the observations in terms of the evolution of global carbon cycling and and atmospheric CO2 regulation through the late Mesozoic and Cenozoic.

August, 2010

"Double Trouble Vacancy" is an ad for a PhD student to work on dinoflagellate culturing, ocean acidification and carbon isotope fractionation from Appy Slujis.

A two-year NSF-funded postdoctoral research position is available at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The research project is devoted to constraining the response of the Greenland Ice Sheet to past climatic periods naturally warmer than present over the last 500,000 years by development and application of provenance proxies (mineralogical and geochemical including Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes) that define which segments of southern Greenland were glaciated during past periods of retreat and advance. A strong background in sedimentology and geochemistry is required. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. For additional information contact Professor Anders Carlson (beardb@geology.wisc.edu) or Dr. Brian Beard (beardb@geology.wisc.edu).
