Research Fellow in Oligocene Planktonic Foraminifera
UCL – Department of Earth Sciences
Application Deadline: May 24th 2022
Fixed Term: The position is funded for five years in the first instance.
The Department of Earth Sciences is seeking a planktonic foraminiferal taxonomist for Research Fellow position funded by NERC large grant NE/V018361/1 “Solving the Oligocene Icehouse Conundrum (TONIC)”. The overall goal of TONIC is to understand Oligocene climate and the carbon cycle, and to improve understanding of climate and ice sheet sensitivity in a warmer world. The aim of this research fellow project is to examine carbon cycle changes through the Oligocene, using multi-species planktonic foraminiferal geochemistry (boron isotopes, trace element/Ca and oxygen and carbon isotope signatures).
