Ph.D. position - Modelling ocean circulation or biogeochemical dynamics of shelf settings.
A full funded Ph.D. position will be available at the Nordic Center for Earth Evolution (NordCEE), Department of Geography and Geology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
We seek highly motivated geoscientists interested in working with computational geoscience or geochemistry in relation modelling 3D ocean circulation and/or biogeochemical dynamics of shelf settings. In particular we are interested in understanding the shelf – ocean interaction, the development of oxygen oasis as well as anoxic conditions under various conditions through Earth History. Experience with ocean circulation models such as MITgcm or ROMS is an advantage.
NordCEE is a centre of excellence funded by The Danish National Research Foundation. NordCEE is focused on exploring the long history of life’s evolution on Earth. We investigate how biological evolution has both shaped and responded to the evolving chemistry of the Earth-surface environment (www.nordcee.dk).
Candidates should hold a MSc degree in geophysics, geology, computational science or engineering, preferably with knowledge of ocean circulation and/or biogechemical dynamics. Good English skills are required.
The salary depends on seniority, as agreed between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations within the range of 23,000-30,000 DKK/month.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, list of publications, copy of diploma, name of one professional reference, and a short statement on personal research interests. It should be emailed to Associate Professor Christian Bjerrum, from whom further information may also be obtained at cjb@geol.ku.dk.
Closing date is January 18th , 2008.
Any potential applicant is invited to apply irrespective of gender, race, religion or ethnic background.
