Dear colleagues,
Please, pass this mail on to interested students.
Thanks,
Cornelia Spiegel
The University of Bremen (Department of Geosciences) is offering upon
release of budgetary funding
2 Ph.D. positions for 3 years
Salary group 13 TV-L 1/2
The respective projects are part of the DFG Priority Program 1158
?Antarctic Research with Comparable Investigations in Arctic Sea Ice
Areas ?, and will be carried out in cooperation with the Alfred
Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) and the Federal
Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR).
The project aims to reconstruct the uplift and exhumation history of
the West Antarctic Rift system in the vicinity of the Ross Sea in
response to tectonic and climatic changes. Both positions involve a
participation in a two-month Antarctic expedition during the Austral
summer 2009/10. Target areas are the Transantarctic Mountains of
northern Victoria Land (terrestrial field campaign) and the coast of
Marie Byrd Land (Cruise on Research Vessel ?Polarstern?). The full
project proposals are available on request. For more information
contact Dr. Frank Lisker (Transantarctic Mountains,
[log in to unmask]) or Prof. Cornelia Spiegel (Marie Byrd Land,
[log in to unmask]).
The Ph.D. candidates will be responsible for structural mapping and
sampling in the field, for analysing the samples by fission track and
other isotopic dating techniques, and to interpret and model the
generated data.
The University of Bremen seeks to increase the number of women in
research and therefore strongly encourages women to apply. Disabled
applicants will be given priority in case of equivalent aptitude.
Requirements are a diploma or master degree in Geosciences or a
related field, strong analytical skills, good language skills in
English, the ability to do field work in polar, mountainous areas and
to participate in expeditions aboard research vessels, and the
willingness to cooperate in an international team. Methodological
knowledge of thermochronological dating methods is an advantage but
not a prerequisite.
Please send your application including a letter of motivation, CV,
copies of degree certificates, and addresses of two references until
the 31st of August to: G. Haack, Fachbereich 5 ? Geowissenschaften,
Universität Bremen, PF 330 440, 28334 BREMEN, Germany, or via email to
[log in to unmask] Please, indicate if you have any preference for
one of the two positions.
