Offer Description

at the Department of Geological Sciences . Closing date: 20 May 2024.

The Department of Geological Sciences is one of three departments within the Section for Earth and Environmental Sciences at the Faculty of Science. The department comprises approximately 70 employees, including around 10 technical administrative staff and about 18 PhD students. Research and teaching at the department cover three main subjects: geology, geochemistry, and marine geoscience. In the field of marine geoscience, research encompasses areas such as paleoceanography, marine geology and geophysics. Extensive research is conducted in the Arctic with the Swedish icebreaker Oden and in the Baltic Sea with Stockholm University's research vessel RV Electra. The department serves as the host institution for the regional center within the global mapping project Nippon Foundation-GEBCO-Seabed 2030, which is responsible for compiling depth data from the Arctic Ocean. Marine geophysical mapping is one of the department’s main areas of expertise.
