We are seeking a highly motivated candidate to fill a postdoctoral position focussed on biogeochemical analyses of Quaternary marine sediments, including HBI (highly-branched isoprenoid) biomarkers, biogenic opal, and total organic and inorganic carbon. This position is offered under the auspices of the NCN (National Science Centre) funded OPUS project ‘Arctic Palaeorecords from the Htm: a ROaDmap for Imminent Transitions in marine Ecosystems (APHRODITE)’ (2022/47/B/ST10/02633) led by Assoc. Prof. Anna Pieńkowski. The successful candidate will perform biogeochemical analyses on marine cores from around the Arctic Ocean, to reconstruct sea-ice and bioproductivity histories during the Holocene Thermal Maximum. They will also play an instrumental role in developing a biogeochemical laboratory at the Institute of Geology at Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU).
We offer a collegial and friendly atmosphere in an international, dynamic research group where the successful candidate can develop their scientific expertise and experience in a supportive environment. The Institute of Geology at AMU is located in a beautiful forest campus close to the city centre. Poznań, set by the scenic Warta River, is one of the oldest cities in Poland and a centre for culture, education, and business. AMU is one of the top universities in Poland for education and research.
Inquiries can be sent to Anna Pieńkowski (anna.pienkowski@amu.edu.pl). Interviews will be conducted in English.
