Ph.D. position in ocean circulation or biogeochemical dynamics

Modeling ocean circulation or biogeochemical dynamics of shelf settings.

A full funded Ph.D. position will be available at the Nordic Center for Earth Evolution (NordCEE), Department of Geography and Geology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

We seek highly motivated geoscientists interested in working with computational geoscience or geochemistry in relation to 3D ocean circulation and/or biogeochemical dynamics of shelf settings. In particular we are interested in understanding the shelf – ocean interaction, the development of oxygen oasis as well as anoxic conditions under various conditions through Earth History.

NordCEE is a center of excellence funded by The Danish National Research Foundation. NordCEE is focused on exploring the long history of life’s evolution on Earth. We investigate how biological evolution has both shaped and responded to the evolving chemistry of the Earth-surface environment (www.nordcee.dk).

Qualifications. M.Sc. or equivalent degree in geophysics, geology, computational geoscience or engineering is required, preferably with knowledge of ocean circulation and/or biogeochemical dynamics. Good English skills is required.

Salary and employment. Salary is according to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the respective host organizations. For Ph.D. students presently about DKr. 22.345,17 per month before pension contribution, subject to change depending on qualifications. The Ph.D. employment will be for a total period of 3 years.

Application. Formal job-posting will be available end November on center and university homepage with application deadline in December. Applicant is expected to start as soon as possible in 2008.

Inquiries can be sent to Ass. Professor Christian Bjerrum (cjb “at” geol.ku.dk) with “NordCEE job” as subject. Preferably include a short description of own research interests, a CV with picture and supplementary information of relevance for the position, together with name and address of potential referee.
