University of Cambridge

Department of Earth Sciences

Five postdoctoral positions in
palaeoceanography - Palaeoproxy applications to climate change

Vacancies exist for work on a range of projects to investigate climate
change based on marine records and on different timescales.
Salary range 18,265 - 23,296 pa.

Patterns of Climate Variability in the North Atlantic (EU Pacliva and
Newton Trust) 2 posts
To reconstruct climate variability of the North Atlantic Ocean at
decadal to multi-decadal time scales over the last 2 millennia and 8-6
ka, compared with oceanic reorganisations in D-O cycles. The posts are
for 2 years. One post will involve development of records of deepwater
flow from grain size proxies and benthic d13C. The other post will
involve development of records of SST and ventilation from foraminiferal
Mg/Ca and stable isotopes.
Available now.

Sea level, temperature and ocean circulation (EU Stopfen Network) 1 post

To study ocean chemistry and circulation on glacial-interglacial and
shorter time scales using novel proxies. The post is for approx. 1.5
years. Applicants for this post must:
1. be under 35 years of age at appointment (with allowance for
compulsory military service or having children)
2. be nationals from either EU Member States or Associated States other
than the host institute's state.
Available now.

Rapid Climate Change (NERC Rapid Programme) 1 post
To evaluate changes in hydrographic structure and flow of water masses
along the Scotland-Labrador boundary of the N. Atlantic through late
Glacial and Holocene rapid climate changes. The post is for approx 3.5
years and will involve seatime in 2004. The post will involve project
management in addition to research work on an aspect of the science
programme. This will encompass high resolution determination of proxies
for temperature, salinity and flow speed with detailed stratigraphy and
chronology.
Available from March 1st 2004.

Rapid Climate Change (Comer Foundation) 1 post
To study rapid climate change using chemical and isotopic proxy records
over periods of climate reorganisation, for example links between
atmosphere and ocean circulation, the role of sea ice, meltwater pulses,
etc.. The post is for approx. 2 years.
Available from January 2004 These posts will be held in the Geochemical
Lab of Prof. Harry Elderfield or the Sedimentology Lab of Prof. Nick
McCave, with isotopic work in Prof. Nick Shackleton's Godwin Laboratory,
all in the Department of Earth Sciences.

Applicants should send a cv by Email together with names and Email
address of two people who would be willing to supply a reference.
