Norwegian Polar Institute seeks Research Scientists
Arctic Paleoceanography
Tromso, Norway
The Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI) seeks two research scientists in arctic paleoceanography with expertise in benthic and planktonic foraminifera and marine diatoms. The positions are permanent and based in Tromso, Norway.
The successful candidates will focus primarily on research related to climate change and natural climate variations in the Arctic through the Cenozoic. The positions will be responsible for the procurement and assembly of marine geological data about natural climate variations and geologic processes related to climate variations. The position will also work towards understanding bipolar climate change and ocean-atmosphere coupling between the arctic and Asian monsoon systems in geological time.
Successful candidates will hold a PhD in geology, marine geology, or paleoceanography. They will have expertise in benthic and planktonic foraminifera and marine diatoms taxonomy and its application in paleoceanography in the polar regions preferably in high northern latitudes. Expertise in quantitative analysis and experience from expeditions in polar regions are required. A documented publication record and ability to secure external research grants is expected. A strong commitment to collaborative problem solving, an interest in and understanding of international and inter-disciplinary work, and an extensive network of international contacts will be considered as assets.
Application deadline: Tuesday, 14 May 2013.
