We are seeking for an excellent postgraduate student in order to lead an exciting PhD projet on great perialpine lakes biogeochemistry. This project is part of a pluridisciplinar research program involving sedimentologists, biologists and ecologists in a federative approach aiming at better understanding the effect of three main human perturbations on perialpine lake ecosystems : fish introduction, nutrient pollution, climatic change. This program is founded by the French National Research Agency (ANR).
The PhD project will consist in studying the evolution of phosphorus (P) and carbon (C) biogeochemical cycles over the last 150 years in the 4 greatest French perialpine lakes (Annecy, Bourget, Leman, Aiguebelette). High resolution sedimentological and geochemical methods will be applied to reconstruct such evolutions (cf. Giguet-Covex et al., JOPL 2009, DOI 10.1007/s10933-009-9324-9 for details).
The successful applicant should have a MSc in geoscience, biology or ecology with excellent quotations. He/She must be autonomous to lead his/her research project and have skills in geochemistry. A strong interest in pluridisciplinar work is needed.
The salary is about 1300 €/ month (incl. health insurance), with possiblities to give additionnal courses at the university.
Applications must be addressed to Fabien Arnaud (fabien.arnaud@univ-savoie.fr ; +33 (0)4 79 75 94 17), the absolute deadline is fixed on July 15th 2009.
The successful applicant will work both at EDYTEM (CNRS / Université de Savoie) and CARRTEL (INRA / Université de Savoie), two nationnally recognised laboratories which are leaders in France for paleolimnology and limnology, respectively. Most of the work will take place at Le Bourget du Lac, Savoie, France at the footstep of French northern Alps. Basis in French language speaking are required, but help may eventually be given to follow practice courses.
