Jobbeschreibung

100%, Zurich, temporary

The Biogeoscience Group within the Geological Institute, Department of Earth Sciences, is seeking a postdoctoral scientist to undertake research focused on development and utilization of nascent radiocarbon-centric databases for examination of carbon cycle processes at regional and global scales.

Job description

The research is part of a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) - funded project that is examining the fate of terrestrial organic carbon in river and ocean systems. Specific topics that will form the basis for investigations by the postdoctoral researcher include: (i) assessment of controls on the nature and residence times of terrestrial carbon exported from river basins, (ii) the influence of upstream supply and transport processes on the fate (i.e., dispersal, decomposition, preservation) of terrestrial carbon upon export to the ocean, and (iii) the global footprint of terrestrial organic carbon in ocean sediments. The project will involve mining and modelling of biogeochemical and ancillary data, and may also involve laboratory work. The Biogeoscience group is led by Prof. Timothy Eglinton supports laboratories that are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for molecular and isotopic organic geochemical analysis. The group maintains a database server and there is facile access to other computational resources at ETH.

Your profile

Interested applicants should have a PhD degree in Ocean, Earth, Environmental or Geographic Sciences, ideally with experience in one or more of the following: geospatial analysis, geostatistical methods (e.g., GIS, machine learning), programming in R and/or Python, and database construction and utilization. Familiarity with organic geochemical, sedimentological and/or isotope biogeochemical data and methods is also very beneficial. Fluency in spoken and written English is essential, and a good level in German is useful. The ability to work independently, while contributing to a vibrant, collaborative, team environment is highly desirable. Interest in supervision of student projects is also a plus.
