Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Generate a series of reconstructive models of 3D ocean biogeochemistry through the Phanerozoic (last ~540 million years).
- Explore uncertainty in three-dimensional ocean biogeochemistry over this time interval and its implications for geochemical proxy records and marine ecosystems.
Duration
This is a relatively short-term, specialist Earth system modelling position (15-month duration).
Qualifications and Experience
- Prior experience in intermediate complexity Earth system modelling.
- Experience integrating key components of Earth system evolution on these timescales, or a strong track record in developing and deploying new skills in computational Earth Science research.
- Hold, or be nearing completion of, a relevant PhD/DPhil.
- Appropriate research experience alongside strong subject-specific expertise.
- Capable of working independently within established research programmes, managing their own research activities and contributing to academic publications.
- Strong communication skills, including the ability to present research ideas and findings clearly, as well as representing the research group effectively in meetings and collaborative discussions.
