The Centre for Earth Observation Science (CEOS), part of the Department
of Environment and Geography at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg,
and the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) Calgary office invite
applications for one PhD position to be involved in a project on
reconstruction of Holocene primary productivity trends for the Arctic
Ocean, as part of the next round of ArcticNET
(http://www.arcticnet-ulaval.ca/). The successful candidate will also
be appointed as a Research Affiliate of GSC, which could possibly lead
after graduation to a long-term appointment as a researcher with GSC.
The research project, to be carried out under the co-supervision of Gary
Stern and Peter Outridge at CEOS, has the goal of reconstructing a
Holocene-long record of changes in primary productivity for different
regions of the Arctic Ocean and Canadian Arctic Archipelago, using
sediment profiles of specific forms of organic carbon, biomarkers, and
mercury as productivity indicators. The research will involve arctic
field work collecting marine sediment cores from the Amundsen research
ice-breaker during the northern fall of 2008 and summer 2009, followed
by laboratory analyses and interpretation of sedimentary organic carbon,
mercury, and other biogeochemical parameters under the direction of
Hamed Sanei at GSC Calgary, who will also co-supervise the PhD
candidate. A background in or familiarity with carbon biogeochemistry,
primary productivity, or environmental metals geochemistry would be an
advantage. The ability to work successfully and carefully under
strenuous field conditions and in the laboratory is essential, as is a
willingness to think across traditional scientific boundaries. The
candidate will be based primarily at CEOS as part of the large and
dynamic ArcticNET graduate student group, and will also spend several
months in Calgary during the course of the PhD.
Prospective applicants should contact Peter Outridge
(outridge@nrcan.gc.ca) and Hamed Sanei (hsanei@nrcan.gc.ca) for further
information. Applications received prior to 28 February 2008, and those
from Canadian citizens or landed immigrants, will be given preference.
