Current Academic Positions:
Research Associate: Population dynamics of benthic foraminifera in terrestrial saline environments in Germany in the context of a changing planet
Deadline: April 7, 2025
Starting date: 01.06.2025 or later
Duration: fixed for a period of three years
Location: University of Hamburg, Germany
Salary: EGR. 13 TV-L
Job description:
The project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for a period of 36 months. We aim to understand the colonization dynamics of benthic foraminifera at terrestrial saline locations in central and northern Germany. The following questions are addressed: 1) When and how did marine organisms colonize salt ponds, saline springs and surrounding environments? 2) What is the species inventory, do endemic benthic foraminiferal faunas prevail at these locations? 3) How does human-induced climate change affect the population dynamics of foraminifera in terrestrial salt ponds? These questions will be answered by long-term monitoring of foraminiferal populations and pore water chemistry at key locations in Germany, and by an investigation of saline areas that were related to potash salt production where the start of mining is known. We are looking for an experienced candidate who is interested in this topic. The successful candidate will team with our research group, will participate in fieldwork sampling campaigns, and will be responsible for the analyses of benthic foraminiferal faunas and data integration.

Current Industrial Positions
Micropalaeontologists and Nannopalaeontologists – PetroStrat
We have exciting opportunities to further expand our skilled and experienced team of 35 biostratigraphers. To complement our current skill base, we are looking for candidates ideally experienced in wellsite and routine micropalaeontology and nannopalaeontology.
The roles will require working within a team on a wide variety of analytical studies, including single or multi-well and reservoir to regional scale projects, to be undertaken either in our UK offices, overseas or at wellsite. We offer varied and interesting career opportunities and are currently active in many areas, including North, West & South Africa, the Middle East, North & South America, the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean, SE Asia and Australasia. Applicants should ideally be qualified and willing to conduct wellsite work, both onshore and offshore. This post will involve a balanced mix of office-based analytical work and wellsite work, with excellent opportunities for career progression within an expanding and dynamic organisation with exciting plans for further expansion.
The successful candidates will have a minimum of an MSc in an appropriate biostratigraphic discipline. Previous industrial experience, including wellsite work, is preferred, but not essential as appropriate training will be given.
We offer a highly competitive benefits package, including pension and bonuses for wellsite work. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
