Postdoctoral Researcher in Geomicrobiology: Rock Weathering by Microbial Ecosystems Université Côte d'Azur in France

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...

Université Côte d’Azur is offering a postdoctoral research opportunity on rock weathering experiments involving microbial ecosystems under Archean conditions. The project asks whether life helped shape the surface of the early Earth. It examines a period when microorganisms were the only life forms inhabiting the oceans and continents, in an environment characterized by a faint young Sun, an anoxic atmosphere and oceans, and potentially absent plate tectonics. The research focuses on how rock we...

Fully funded PhD opportunity in Toulouse, France, under the MSCA COFUND BEST programme. The project focuses on Sahara dust in the Pyrenees, using peat records and current monitoring services to reconstruct Saharan dust input over Spain and France. The research combines peat archives, atmospheric collectors, trace-metal geochemistry, and isotope geochemistry, making it a strong fit for students interested in Environmental Science, Earth Science, Geology, and Chemistry. The PhD will be hosted in T...
