Emprego

GNS Science, Te Pu Ao, is the New Zealand science institute that focuses on geological resources, environmental and industrial isotopes, and geological hazards. By applying our scientific knowledge, we create wealth, protect the environment, and improve the safety of people.

The National Isotope Centre (NIC) is a division of GNS Science and is the premier source of applied isotope science capability in New Zealand. Its research and commercial activities are supported by a sophisticated technical infrastructure, including particle accelerators for accelerator mass spectrometry, stable isotope mass spectrometers, a tritium analysis facility, chemical laboratories, and a new ice core research facility.

The successful applicant will be part of the NZ Ice Core Research Programme working on an agreed project covering aspects of climate change utilising ice core records. It is a collaborative and interdisciplinary effort which utilises ice cores from coastal Antarctica to investigate climate drivers of the Southern Hemisphere. Our research, under the auspices of the Joint Antarctic Research Institute (JARI) between GNS Science and Victoria University of Wellington, contributes to a range of international consortia on Ice Coring Sciences (e.g. IPICS, ITASE, AGCS) and aims to provide high resolution climate records for the prediction of future climate change.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD and skills and experience in some or

all of these fields:

* Ice core climatology

* A track record of publications in the field of ice core research, preferably climate change

* Excellent organisational skills and ability to work and collaborate within multidisciplinary research teams

* Preference will be given to candidates with practical knowledge and experience with ice core laboratory equipment and procedures

* Ability to supervise technicians and students to complete laboratory tasks.

Part of the selection process will include an assessment of the proposed research plan for this position. The research plan is negotiable within our existing Antarctic ice core programme to suit the skills of the applicant and might range from an analytical to a modelling focus.
