Overview
A 3-year PhD fellowship is available at the newly formed Centre for GeoGenetics, Natural History Museum of Denmark, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen, starting February 1st, 2011 or soon thereafter.
Project area:
The Centre of Excellence in GeoGenetics (funded by the Danish National Research Foundation) is a recently formed Basic Science Research Center at the Faculty of Science, headed by director, Professor Eske Willerslev (Natural History Museum of Denmark and Biological Institute), and including his research group and the groups of Professor Anders Krogh (Department of Biology) and Associate Professors Kurt H. Kjær, Tom Gilbert and Ludovic Orlando (Natural History Museum of Denmark). The scope of the Centre is to fuse ancient genetic, archaeological, paleontological and geological knowledge in order to expand the frontiers of these disciplines. The project area for the announced PhD studentship will be related to the ice marginal reconstructions using aerial photogrammetry with a focus on the Greenland Ice Sheet in order to understand the biological effect caused by ice sheet variability.
Qualifications:
The successful applicant must be an enthusiastic researcher and have a MSc (or equivalent) in geology, physical geography or geoinformatics. Preferred key skills and experiences should include geodetic methods for change detection of glacier ice and forelands with emphasis on photogrammetric means. Also, experience with the Socet Set/GXP, ArcGIS and ENVI/IDL software packages is a prerequisite. As the members and collaborators of the Centre are international, the working language of the Centre is English, thus excellent English speaking, reading and writing skills are required.
Place of employment and place of work:

Deadline for applications is December 30th , 2010 at 12:00 noon. Applications received after the deadline may not be considered.
For further information please contact Associate Professor Kurt Kjær (kurtk@snm.ku.dk)

Each applicant will receive the part of the evaluation that concerns her/him. The main criterion for selection will be the research potential of the applicant. In addition experience with some of the above mentioned methods would be an advantage.
