Postdoctoral Opportunity in the Global Modelling of the Oxygen Cycle

Job description:

We have two years of funding to support a postdoctoral researcher interested in modelling the history of atmospheric oxygen evolution. We anticipate an interactive model coupling the evolution of ocean chemistry with the evolution of atmosphere composition using the most up-to-date understanding of the chemical proxy record. While all time periods are of interest, our initial focus will be on the Neoproterozoic-Paleozoic transition. This position is placed at the Nordic Center for Earth Evolution (NordCEE) and is in association with the Danish Institute for Advanced Study (DIAS) under the project From the beginning of time to life supported by the VKR Foundation.
The selected candidate will have demonstrated exceptional scientific qualities and, as part of DIAS, should be willing to communicate their research at public lectures and to take active part in DIAS�s highly interdisciplinary outreach events.
