PhD Position (3 years) at GEOMAR (Germany)
2st May 2018
Open position for a PhD student working on the incorporation of trace metals into biogenic carbonate of benthic foraminifera and corals. The potential new proxies are to be calibrated by culturing experiments and applied to high-resolution sediment and coral cores from more or less pristine and highly polluted environments. Are you keen in experimental work ? Dedicated tinkerer and do-it-yourselver ? Do you know how to set up and run an aquarium ? Do you have a clue about trace metals in the environment ?
