A full funded Ph.D. position will be available at the Nordic Center for Earth Evolution (NordCEE), Department of Geography and Geology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

We seek a highly motivated geoscientists interested in working with computational geoscience and geochemistry - modelling 3D ocean circulation and/or biogeochemical dynamics of ancient shelf settings. In particular we are interested in understanding the shelf - ocean interaction, the development of oxygen oasis or anoxic conditions under various conditions through Earth History. Experience with ocean circulation models such as ROMS or MITgcm is an advantage.

NordCEE is a centre of excellence funded by The Danish National Research Foundation. NordCEE is focused on exploring the long history of life's evolution on Earth. We investigate how biological evolution has both shaped and responded to the evolving chemistry of the Earth-surface environment (for more information: www.nordcee.dk). The candidate will work closely with Don Canfield, Minik Rosing and Christian Bjerrum.

Candidates should hold a MSc degree in geophysics, geology, e-science or engineering, preferably with knowledge of ocean circulation and/or biogechemical dynamics. Good English skills are required.

The salary depends on seniority, as agreed between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations within the range of 23,000-30,000 DKK/month.

Applications should including a curriculum vitae, list of publications, copy of diploma and grade transcript, name of one professional reference, and a short statement on personal research interests toward the goal of the Center.
