About this position

Two four-year PhD positions are available at MARUM, University of Bremen in a project at the interface of organic geochemistry, isotope geochemistry, and palaeobiology.

The ERC project, Deconvolving the early record of eukaryotic evolution, examines how life and environments coevolved during the Neoproterozoic and early Palaeozoic, and how eukaryotes evolved from the earliest protists to the rise of animals.

One PhD project will investigate major carbon isotope excursions using biomarker and compound-specific isotope analyses. The second will explore the emergence of eukaryote-dominated marine ecosystems by integrating biomarkers, fossils, and stable isotope records.

Funding is already in place for the project. The opportunity is listed by the Palaeontological Association, which notes that further details are available on the institutional website.

Deadline: 25 August 2026. Interested applicants should review the MARUM open positions page and follow the application instructions there.
