PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Earth Science in Turkey

The University of Reading is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join LAMDA (Land–atmosphere interactions as a mechanism of dryland formation) , an ERC Starting Grant project led by Dr Akash Koppa in the Department of Geography and Environmental Science. The project develops a new theory of how humid regions transition into drylands. It combines paleoclimatic reconstructions with Earth system, ecosystem-demography, and atmospheric-transport models to investigate how drylands, vegetation, and...

This doctoral project is part of the ANR PALWOOD programme (2026–2030), which investigates the evolution of wood during the Paleozoic, from the first appearance of wood in the early Devonian to the end-Permian crisis. The project brings together researchers from multiple French research units, including AMAP (Montpellier), CR2P (Paris) and EEP (Lille), with international collaborators. The thesis focuses on the anatomical disparity of homoxylous woods , i.e. woods without vessels. The doctoral r...

The Institut des Sciences de la Terre in Grenoble is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the ANR NaturaLDH project, focused on the composition of natural layered double hydroxides and their role in the alteration of mantle rocks. The postdoctoral work centers on developing an analytical protocol for natural layered double hydroxides using anion exchange and ion chromatography, then applying that protocol to natural samples to determine their composition and the conditions under which they f...

This postdoctoral opening at the University of Gothenburg is focused on deep-sea biogeochemistry and environmental assessment. The role is framed within the university’s broad research environment and its aim to address societal challenges with multidisciplinary knowledge. The position is based at Göteborgs universitet and is presented as part of the university’s research and recruitment activities. The announcement emphasizes the institution’s large academic community and its commitment to stro...

This fellowship places a doctoral-level fellow within the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation, specifically in the Hydropower and Hydrokinetic Office in Washington, DC. The role centers on the Energy-Water Resources program, which supports research, coordination, and strategic development around the interdependence of energy and water systems. The fellow will work on topics spanning regional energy-water technology pilots, alternative water sources such ...

This post-doctoral project at Université de Limoges focuses on using artificial intelligence to optimize the formulation of geopolymer-based coatings for antennas. The research aims to combine experimental synthesis and characterization data with data-driven modelling to better understand how input variables such as chemical composition and synthesis conditions influence the final material properties. The successful researcher will develop an AI algorithm for formulation and property prediction,...

This postdoctoral position at CNRS is part of the ANR ROCKMAPS project within the Trajectoires laboratory (UMR 8215). The research focuses on the rock art panels of Bedolina in Capo di Ponte, Lombardy, and their role as engraved cartographic representations carved into stone. The selected researcher will investigate the relationship between the engraved motifs on panels R1, R4, R7, and R9 and their surrounding anthropic and natural environment. The project combines archaeological interpretation ...

This postdoctoral position at Université Côte d'Azur is part of a project on how microbial ecosystems can alter rocks under conditions reminiscent of the early Earth. The work is centered on geomicrobiology, with a strong interface between microbial ecology, geochemistry, and astrobiology. The project builds on an existing experimental platform developed at the CEREEP ECOTRON Île-de-France , where rock-weathering reactors reproduce Archean-like conditions. These experiments compare sterile react...

This post-doctoral research position at the École nationale vétérinaire de Toulouse (ENVT) is part of the PEPR “Elevages durables” project and focuses on preventive approaches in livestock farming, especially vaccination and biosafety . The recruited researcher will work at the interface of epidemiology and social sciences to design and implement interdisciplinary studies in two livestock sectors: poultry and ruminants . The work includes building study protocols, conducting questionnaire-based ...
