København

GEUS is looking for a postdoc to join our paleoclimate research team. You will work on the project: “Denmark under IPCC scenarios – a view from the Eemian and Miocene past warm periods (EeMi)”.The objective of the EeMi project is to estimate the variability of the Gulf Stream current near Scandinavia in a warmer-than-present climate investigating marine sediment cores using organic proxies for precipitation and temperature. The project focuses on the Miocene Climatic Optimum and the Eemian periods as reference points for the future climate scenarios outlined by the IPCC. Moreover, EeMi will establish a modern baseline to contextualize the climatic variability recorded in these periods by applying the same methods to 20th-century sedimentary archives, which overlap with existing instrumental climate time series.The position is a part of the EeMi project funded by Geocenter Denmark and led by Senior Researcher Kasia K. Sliwinska. The position has a fixed term of 18 months, starting from 1st December 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with other experts and project partners based at Aarhus University and Copenhagen University. To reconstruct the climate state and variability in the northern middle latitudes (Danish North Sea) under a warmer-than-present climate the postdoc will analyse marine sediment cores using analytical approaches from organic geochemistry. Specific tasks will include generating high-resolution sea surface temperature records using membrane lipids and alkenones and changes in precipitation patterns using leaf waxes (low resolution). The postdoc will collaborate with other members of the EeMi project working on sedimentology, stratigraphy, inorganic geochemistry, elemental analysis, and other proxies.The position is based in the Department of Geo-energy and Storage at GEUS in Copenhagen. All laboratory facilities at the Department of Geo-energy and Storage will be available for the research project. This includes an Agilent HPLC-MS and GC-MS/FID. GEUS hosts a core repository. All samples and cores are available for the project. The appointment will be made based on academic qualifications. The candidate must hold a PhD degree in Natural Sciences or Analytical Chemistry (e.g., Chemistry, Geology, Biology) and have documented experience working with molecular biomarkers (such as membrane lipids and alkenones). Experience working with leaf waxes is beneficial but not crucial. Experience with working in a laboratory is required, and particular emphasis will be placed on the following qualifications:We are looking for a candidate with experience in multidisciplinary research, particularly in Cenozoic paleoclimate or palaeoceanography. Proficiency in spoken and written English is essential, along with strong collaboration, organizational, and communication skills. Experience with statistical techniques, paleoclimate reconstruction methods, and dating methods is an advantage.You will join the Department of Geo-energy and Storage, which focuses on energy and underground storage, organic carbon, mineralogy, and biostratigraphy. The department also serves as an advisor to authorities and the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities. Its work is guided by the UN's sustainability goals #7 (affordable and clean energy) and #13 (climate action), reflecting GEUS' commitment to supporting the green transition and CO2 neutrality targets. With increasing focus on CO2 and biological carbon storage, energy storage, and geothermal energy, the department is expanding its efforts in these areas.There are currently approximately 24 employees in the department, including researchers, consultants and laboratory technicians. The department includes a large fully equipped internal laboratory with 5 subdivisions; Core Analysis, Organic geochemistry & petrography, Organic & inorganic microscopy, PALEOClimate, and Fossil preparation.This position is a key part of a dynamic, multidisciplinary paleoclimate research group, collaborating closely with other GEUS departments, such as Surface and Glaciology, as well as external institutions like Geocenter Denmark. The group specializes in studying past climate and cryosphere evolution to better understand future climate changes, using advanced facilities at GEUS for geochemistry and sedimentary DNA analysis.In addition to research, the paleoclimate group contributes to global climate strategies by generating insights into both past and present climate systems. GEUS promotes values of gender equality, collaboration, responsibility, research excellence, and continuous development.There are many good reasons why you should choose a working life at GEUS.We are a diverse staff of about 300 committed employees. Trust and flexibility are keywords. The working environment is lively, informal and international.
