PhD Position Cluster of Excellence: The Ocean Floor – Earth’s Un- 
charted Interface

The MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University 
of Bremen is offering (under the condition of the grant by the funding 
party and of job release)

one PhD position (f/m/d) in paleoceanography for 3 years German federal 
salary group 13 TV-L (66,66 %)

The earliest starting date is 1 July 2021.

The employment is fixed-term and governed by the Act of Academic 
Fixed-Term Contract, §2 (1) Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz – 
WissZeitVG. Therefore, candidates may only be considered for appointment 
if they still have the respective qualification periods available in 
accordance with § 2 (1) WissZeitVG.

The Cluster of Excellence “The Ocean Floor – Earth’s Uncharted 
Interface” is part of the Research Faculty MARUM at the University of 
Bremen. Within the project Ocean Floor as RECORDER, we are searching for 
a PhD student (f/m/d) in the area of paleoceanography/climatology to 
conduct research related to the topic of “Pertubations in high CO2 worlds”.

The project aims to enhance our understanding of paleoclimatic and 
paleoceanographic conditions during high-CO2 worlds during selected time 
intervals in the Cenozoic. The research will contribute to the 
understanding of sensitivities and tipping points through studies of 
past perturbations and their effects. The project will investigate time 
and timescale-dependent forcings and feedbacks between, for example, 
temperatures and greenhouse gas concentrations, while the climate system 
undergoes pronounced carbon cycle feedbacks. Tasks will include sample 
processing and measurements for established or new proxies on sediment 
samples from the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) that aid 
our overall understanding of the response of the Earth System to 
perturbations and the interaction with relevant feedback processes, 
potentially collecting new material at sea.
