The University of Bremen's MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences is offering a four-year PhD position in the Organic Geochemistry group as part of the ERC Synergy Project "Archean Park." This interdisciplinary project aims to uncover ancient and novel carbon fixation pathways by studying life under early-Earth conditions, focusing on the metabolic processes of microorganisms during the Archean era (4,000–2,500 million years ago). The research is conducted in collaboration with teams f...

The University of Cologne, one of Europe's largest and oldest universities, is offering a doctoral position in biochemistry/isotope geochemistry with a focus on radiocarbon. The position is based in the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, specifically within the Organic Geochemistry & Radiocarbon group. The research project centers on characterizing microbial communities and their role in carbon cycling in permafrost soils of the Arctic, particularly as the region becomes warmer and wetter. Key...

A PhD position is available in Geodynamics at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Germany. The research focuses on quantifying uncertainties in geodynamic models using machine learning techniques. This interdisciplinary project combines Earth Science, computational geoscience, and advanced data-driven methods to address key challenges in understanding Earth's dynamic processes. The position is supervised by Professor Marcel Thielmann, a leading academic in the field of Geodynamic...

The University of Stuttgart invites applications for a PhD position (Doctoral Candidate DC17) focused on the analysis and advancement of methodologies for assessing the global effects of space launchers on the atmosphere and environment. This position is part of the SLICE (Space Launch Impact on Climate and Environment) project, funded by the Horizon Europe MSCA program, which aims to bridge the gap between space engineering and climate science by developing comprehensive life cycle assessment (...
