Hi!
I wanted to spread the word about some positions I am currently advertising on the influence of volcanic sulfate aerosols on climate.
The key goal of this work is to improve historical estimates of climate forcing from sulfate, a key input to PMIP simulations of the past 1000 years, and a topical issue in recent climate trends.
At present I am looking to recruit a 3 year postdoc and a 3 year laboratory technician to work on measuring sulfur isotopes by MC-ICP-MS in ice core samples from recent eruptions such as Pinatubo, Agung, and Katmai/Novarupta. This will allow us to recalibrate how we scale volcanic sulfate deposition on ice sheets to a stratospheric sulfur loading for past volcanic eruptions. The project takes advantage of new ice cores and novel isotope fingerprinting to disentangle stratospheric sulfate from other sources and is in collaboration with colleagues at the British Antarctic Survey, Durham, and Oslo.
The deadline for these positions is Wednesday Dec 20, 2023. Please pass on to anyone you think might be interested!
I also have a fully-funded PhD studentship (open to any nationality) advertised for a project measuring high resolution sulfur isotopes on major eruptions over the Common Era.
Deadline for this PhD studentship is Jan 31, 2024.
