2-years post-doc position available at the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI)

The European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA) aims at retrieving two deep ice cores from Dome C and Dronning Maud Land (DML), respectively.

Deep drilling will start in DML during the 2001/02 austral summer. Since 1996, NPI has been involved in glaciological reconnaissance research in DML, in the search for a suitable deep drilling site. This work has included studies of accumulation (i.e., shallow ice core drillings; 20-160 metres), glacier dynamics, surface topography, meteorology, and internal layering in the firn.

Further work will follow two main directions: i) ice core analyses of a 160 metres long plateau ice core and a 100 metres long coastal core, both drilled in the 2000/01 season. Analyses include ECM, DEP, chemistry, activity, and physical properties; and ii) ice core analyses of the deep EPICA core from DML. Here, NPI will emphasise on analyses of electrical and physical properties. It is an advantage if the candidate has background in several of these fields. The candidate must be prepared to spend one austral summer season at the deep drill site in DML and take part in laboratory measurement campaigns that last for several weeks.

Extension of the 2-years contract is likely, but relies on continued funding. The preferred starting date is January 2002 but this is somewhat flexible. The salary for post-doc positions at NPI is currently NOK 339.100,- NOK /year (taxes excluded).

The Norwegian Polar Institute is the principal supplier of scientific information on Norwegian polar regions for the central government administration, acting as its consultant on polar matters and helping to ensure that the environment is managed as efficiently as possible, in keeping with international efforts to promote sustainable development. The Institute is the main Norwegian institution concerned with mapping and scientific and environmental investigations of Norwegian polar regions in the Arctic and Antarctica. It has the status of a directorate, and is responsible to the Norwegian Ministry of Environment

Doctoral Candidate Position

The interaction between the rhizosphere and water soluble fraction as a function of crop yield
Where: Institute for Soil Ecology at the GSF Research Centre for Environment and Health in Neuherberg bei Muenchen (Munich)
Salary: ‡ (AT A13) (ask, please....)
Duration: 3 years (Jahre...).
Start: Fall 2001

Theme:

Results to date have shown that the readily available humus or dissolved organic matter (DOM) fraction vary as a function of the crop yield. The areas with a higher crop yield consistently have DOM, which contains more Ñhumifiedì material. This results in several research questions:

This research will be undertaken at the GSF and at the Technical University of Munich within the Forschungsverbund Agrar–kosysteme Muenchen.

A knowledge of German is not necessary but would obviously be useful.
