PhD Opportunities in Carbonate Biosignatures, Geomicrobiology, and Geochemistry at the University of Granada University of Granada in Spain

Fully Funded PhD Position in Earth and Planetary Sciences at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) Meng Guo (Assistant Professor, HKU) is recruiting one PhD student to join the Gaia Lab in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. The project focuses on how Earth evolved from a newly formed rocky planet into a habitable world, combining geochemical and geophysical principles with quantitative Earth-system and planetary modeling . Research directions may include late accretion and impact evolut...

PhD fellowship in marine geomicrobiology at the University of Bergen , Department of Geosciences, linked to the Center for Deep Sea Research and the research group Geochemistry and Geobiology. The project focuses on how global warming and changing Arctic Ocean conditions affect carbon fluxes, microbial activity, and microbial diversity in Arctic sediments . The successful candidate will develop in-situ experimental setups and combine geochemical measurements with molecular microbiological method...

Funded PhD opportunity at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata in the Crustal Evolution Research Group led by Professor Sukanta Dey. The project is centered on early Earth research, including how the early continental crust formed and evolved, how ancient mantle dynamics influenced surface processes, and how Earth transitioned from a hostile planet to a habitable one. The work appears to combine fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and interpretation of geochemical a...

Postdoctoral position in geomicrobiology at Université Côte d’Azur / CEREEP ECOTRON Île-de-France This postdoctoral project explores a fundamental question about the early Earth: did life shape the surface of the planet, and how did microorganisms influence rock weathering under Archean-like conditions? The work is embedded in the Pandora project and builds on an experimental set-up already designed and constructed by a PhD student. The platform reproduces rock weathering in an anoxic environmen...

North-West University in South Africa is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in Marine Sedimentary Geology and Foraminiferal Palaeoceanography . The project focuses on the use of foraminifera as proxies for reconstructing past climate and ocean conditions, with additional strengths in geochemistry and geophysics welcomed. The post is aimed at candidates with a strong research profile in Geology , Earth Science , Environmental Science , or related areas. Applicants should hold a P...
