Descrierea postului

Job Description:The Department of Physics, Luminescence Physics section, invites applications for a 2,5-year position as a Postdoctoral Fellow. This position is funded under a project 1 grant from the Independent Research Council awarded to Dr Jan-Pieter Buylaert. The project focuses on developing independent chronologies for loess sequences in NW Europe combined with dust provenance analyses.Responsibilities and qualifications
We seek an innovative candidate to investigate the role of atmospheric dust in rapid past climate change using NW European dust (loess) records. The candidate will undertake research into luminescence dating by developing the most suitable quartz and feldspar dating protocols with the ultimate aim of developing detailed age-depth models. The candidate will independently carry out fieldwork and be responsible for implementing all sediment provenance techniques used in the project. The candidate should have a strong publication record, and good communication and writing skills in English.The candidate must have prior hands-on experience in:

• Luminescence dating and radiocarbon dating
• Geochemical methods for dust provenance analysis, especially U-Pb dating of zircons

The successful candidate is expected to have a background in geoscience and must have expertise in carrying out independent fieldwork in loess terrain and sample collection. Experience with Bayesian age-depth modelling would be an advantage.As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.The period of employment is 2.5 years. Starting date is 1 April 2025 or according to mutual agreement.You can read more about .Further information
