PhD Researcher in Paleoclimate and Organic Geochemistry
vor 1 Monat
Job Description
The PhD project at ETH focuses on developing new records of atmospheric CO2 and surface ocean temperature. You will produce CO2 records from carbon isotopic fractionation in alkenone biomarkers and temperature records from the clumped isotopic composition of coccoliths. The project involves short research stays with our partners at Purdue University, where you will develop and refine proxy system models and compare the new data with climate models. Additionally, you will gain experience in teaching, science communication, and laboratory management by contributing to departmental teaching, outreach, and laboratory tasks.
Your Profile
- MSc in Earth Science or a related field with a strong background in geology and chemistry.
- Prior work demonstrating a strong interest in paleoclimate and/or organic geochemistry or clumped isotope thermometry.
- Experience in careful laboratory work, ideally in geochemistry, and solid quantitative and data management skills, including Python or MATLAB.
- Strong skills in scientific writing and solid English communication skills.
- Ability to work productively in a multidisciplinary team and willingness to travel for short research stays.
