Got a PhD? Interested in tephra (modelling, field and/or laboratory analysis, human impacts)? The consider applying for this 1-2y postdoc at my lab: http://www.au.dk/om/stillinger/videnskabelige-stillinger/stillinger/Vacancy/show/901075/5285 /
The position is affiliated with the project ‘Apocalypse Then? The Laacher See volcanic eruption (13,000 years before present), Deep Environmental History and Europe’s Geo-cultural Heritage’, an interdisciplinary project funded by the Danish Council for Independent Research’s Sapere Aude elite research funding scheme. The project focuses on the Late Pleistocene in northern Europe and aims to evaluate the potential impacts of the Laacher See volcanic eruption, which occurred during this period. The project works across disciplinary boundaries that stretch from risk reduction research via archaeology to volcanology. One research objective is to revisit the dynamics of the Laacher See eruption as seen through its tephra fallout.
We are looking for an innovative scholar with a background in volcanology, preferably with a specialisation in tephra studies and with strong analytical skills focused on fallout modelling and/or laboratory investigations. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to participate in project activities including fieldwork, and in activities at the Department of Archaeology and Heritage Studies and the Department of Geoscience such as lectures, seminars and workshops.
The successful applicant will be associated with Work Package IV of the project, which is aimed at analysing in detail the tephra fallout of the Laacher See eruption, its spatial extent and volume, isochron utility and hazard potential using modelling, geochemistry and sedimentological methods as appropriate. There will also be opportunities for fieldwork, which is aimed at locating new sites at which both tephra and archaeological remains have been preserved.
