Two PhD Positions in Paleoclimate and carbon cycle in Zürich

This research group is looking for you!

Jobbeschreibung

ETH Zurich is one of the world’s leading universities specialising in science and technology. It is renowned for its excellent education, its cutting-edge fundamental research and its efforts to put new knowledge and innovations directly into practice. The Climate Geology Group at the Department of Earth Sciences is seeking
Over a mere few centuries, human activities may bring atmospheric CO2 levels through the entire range of concentrations experienced by the earth during the last 60 million years of the Cenozoic Period. In this project, we evaluate changes in the carbon cycle and temperature during the Oligocene and Early Miocene, a period which shows evidence for dramatic orbitally paced growth and decay of the full East Antarctic Ice Sheet. Our goal in this project is to constrain the high latitude ocean temperatures which conditioned this very dramatic instability of the Antarctic ice sheet, estimate the CO2 concentrations at which the Antarctic ice sheet was so dynamic, and evaluate whether changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration were a key amplifier of orbital scale climate variations, as during the late Pleistocene ice ages.
We look forward to receiving your online application including the following documents: a CV, including names of two academic referees and any previous research publications or conference presentations, and a one page statement of motivation for applying to this PhD position, review of achievements and previous research experience. Please note that we exclusively accept applications submitted through our online application portal. Applications via email or postal services will not be considered.
