Current PhD positions
PhD in Marine Palynology – Apply here
Institution: Department of Earth Sciences, Utrecht University, Netherlands
Supervisor(s): Dr Peter K. Bijl & Dr Francesca Sangiorgi
Description: The Department of Earth Sciences is looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate with an MSc in Palynology, Micropaleontology, Organic Geochemistry and/or Oceanography. You will work on the project “Ice-ocean interactions in West Antarctica during rapid transitions in past warm climates”. In this four-year study, you will reconstruct in detail the oceanographic changes close to the West-Antarctic ice sheet during prominent deglaciations in the Pliocene and Pleistocene.

PhD in Micropalaeontolgy and Palaeoecology – Apply here
Institution: Institue of Geology and Mineralogy, University of Cologne, Germany
Supervisor(s): Patrick Grunert
Description: The envisaged Ph.D. thesis will contribute to integrated proxy- and model-based studies on “Land-ocean coupling as the driving force of Atacama paleoclimate” at major climate transitions during the Neogene and Quaternary. The tasks of the candidate will include field work in the Atacama Desert and primarily geochemical labwork (d18O, d13C, Mg/Ca, eNd) on foraminiferal shells in order to reconstruct properties of the Humboldt Current System and related coastal upwelling, to evaluate it’s potential influence on precipitation patterns in the Atacama Desert.
