Two Phd Student Positions in Paleoclimatology

Vor 4 Tagen


Basel, Schweiz Universität Basel Vollzeit

**Your position**

Our knowledge of climate variability in SW Asia remained fragmentary due to scarcity of precisely-dated and highly-resolved paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. One of the main goals of SNSF Sinergia project MITRA is to develop such records. Both PhD-students will investigate speleothems (stalagmites and flowstones) from several caves in Turkey, Iraq and Iran to reconstruct hydroclimate variability during the Holocene period. This is achieved by using a wide range of geochemical methods, such as Uranium-series dating, stable isotope and trace element analysis. The speleothem-based reconstructions will be then compared to lake and marine records and regional climate model simulations, which will be developed by MITRA co-investigators Professor Christoph Raible (University of Bern) and Dr. Morteza Djamali (CNRS Marseille) and other MITRA members.

**Your profile**

**We offer you**

Both PhD projects (100%) are funded for 4 years. We offer an international, multidisciplinary and vibrant work environment and superb infrastructure. Both PhD-students will be based at the Department of Environmental Science, University of Basel. The project has an envisioned start date of 01 May 2024.

    Atmospheric aerosol particles are the most important health-relevant air pollution components. Clear correlations between exposure to increased levels of aerosols and severe health effects have been observed. However, particle components and properties causing these health effects are not well understood but oxidising particle components are likely to play...
