Dear all,
an exciting postdoc position is available at the University of Glasgow on coralline algae and global change which would suit candidates with relevant experience from tropical, temperate or polar systems.
On this project, you will use marine coralline algae to understand historic changes in marine and terrestrial environments driven by melting Greenland glaciers. You will provide a leading contribution to this Leverhulme Trust funded project working with Dr Nick Kamenos (University of Glasgow) and Drs Douglas Mair, Brice Rea & Ed Schofield (University of Aberdeen).
Specifically, this post requires expert knowledge in biogenic calcifying marine systems (e.g. coralline algae, corals, molluscs) in a palaeoclimate, ecological or biogeochemical context. The project will involve a number of field campaigns to Greenland. You will work closely with another Research Associate (University of Aberdeen) in glaciology. You will also be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow.
This position has funding until 31 July 2017 in the first instance.
