OST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN PALAEOCLIMATE RECONSTRUCTION USING GEOCHEMICAL PROXY METHODS
Summary:
A NEW MAX PLANCK RESEARCH GROUP IN TERRESTRIAL PALAEOCLIMATES WILL BEESTABLISHED AT THE MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR CHEMISTRY IN MAINZ, GERMANY, FROM 2017. THE FOCUS OF THE GROUP WILL BE THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CLIMATE, VEGETATION AND LANDSCAPES IN THE EURASIAN LOESS STEPPE OVER QUATERNARY TIMESCALES. THE INDEPENDENT RESEARCH GROUP WILL WORK IN CLOSE COOPERATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT FOR CLIMATE GEOCHEMISTRY.WE INVITE APPLICATIONS FOR FIVE NEW POSITIONS WITHIN THE GROUP(ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT HTTP://WWW.MPIC.DE/KARRIERE/STELLENANGEBOTE.HTML AND SEE ATTACHED):1. POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN PALAEOCLIMATE RECONSTRUCTION USINGGEOCHEMICAL PROXY METHODS. WE SEEK A RESEARCHER TO APPLY AND DEVELOPNOVEL NEW GEOCHEMICAL APPROACHES TO QUANTITATIVE PALAEOCLIMATERECONSTRUCTION IN LOESS. THIS RESEARCH POSITION MAY BEGIN INSPRING-SUMMER 2017, AND IS A 3.5 YEAR APPOINTMENT.2. POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN PALAEOCLIMATE RECONSTRUCTION USINGPALAEOECOLOGICAL PROXIES. WE SEEK A RESEARCHER TO APPLY AND DEVELOPPALAEOECOLOGICAL METHODS FOR QUANTITATIVE PALAEOCLIMATE RECONSTRUCTION IN LOESS. THE IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH PHYTOLITHS AS A PALAEOECOLOGICAL PROXY, AND WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSFER FUNCTIONS USING PALAEOECOLOGICAL DATA. THIS RESEARCH POSITION MAY BEGIN IN SPRING-SUMMER 2017, AND IS A 3.5 YEAR APPOINTMENT.3. PHD CANDIDATE IN QUATERNARY GEOCHRONOLOGY (LUMINESCENCEDATING). THE AIM OF THE PROJECT IS TO INVESTIGATE THE POTENTIAL OF NEWMATERIALS FOR LUMINESCENCE DATING, AS WELL AS TO APPLY STANDARD AND NEW GEOCHRONOLOGICAL METHODS TO PROVIDE CHRONOLOGICAL FRAMEWORKS FOR LOESS.
