Overview
A three-year post-doctoral position is hereby announced. The successful candidate will carry out near-surface geophysical and geological investigations to unravel the regional differences in vertical movements of the Danish area during the last ~7000 years.
The research will be carried out under the project: "Differential Vertical Movements in the Danish Area: Geophysical and Geological Interpretation of Sealevel Curves for the last 7000 Years", which is financed by the Danish Natural Science Research Council and will be launched by the beginning of 2011. The post doctoral researcher will carry out integrated ground-penetrating radar and sedimentological interpretation of coastal deposits as well as laboratory analysis of core material taken from nearby lakes to establish relative sea-level curves for different locations in Denmark. Maps of differential vertical movements will be established based on comparison of the different sea-level curves.
Job description
The post doctoral researcher will apply and further develop ground-penetrating radar methods for imaging and identifications of sea-level markers in coastal deposits, map and interpret coastal deposits, take cores from lakes for sedimentological description and laboratory isotope analysis, and take relevant samples for dating. In particular, the candidate will seek to efficiently integrate the different geophysical and geological disciplines.
Required qualifications
The successful candidate should hold a Ph.D. degree in geology or geophysics, have the ability to integrate geophysical and geological data, be able to demonstrate analytical skills, and have a proven publication record.
Terms of employment
The position will be filled according to the Agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The post is covered by the Protocol on Job Structure.
