Emprego

Two Marie Curie fellowships (one Post Doctoral fellow and one PhD-student fellowship) in ice core glaciology are offered by the program NSINK to be positioned at Uppsala University, Department of Earth Sciences

The positions are a part of the Marie Curie project NSINK, which aims to explore and monitor nitrogen pathways and processes operating in the High Arctic. The NSINK program is based on 12 Marie Curie fellowships stationed at University of Sheffield (Coordinator), The Norwegian Polar Institute, Uppsala University, Innsbruck University, and the British Centre of Ecology and Hydrology. See http://www.nsink.group.shef.ac.uk/ for general aims and for clarification on the different positions available.

The two year Post Doc position Ice Core retrieval and Analysis will work on retrieving new ice cores from high elevation Svalbard core sites and conduct their physical and chemical analysis, giving specific attention to the historic accumulation of nitrogen compounds and nitrogen isotopes in Svalbard ice fields.

The four year PhD student position Solute Relocation in Firn and Glacier Ice will work at the Svalbard ice core sites and in the laboratory, developing robust transfer functions that allow inversion of the ice core record and thus the documentation of recent environmental change, nitrogen enrichment and the capacity for ice cores to discriminate between the various types of atmospheric loading events.
