PhD Candidate in Environmental Science: Ocean COS and CS2 Sources
Investigate ocean sulfur gases and climate drivers using stable isotopes in a fully funded PhD position.
Best for:Best for Earth science or chemistry graduates with experience in stable isotopes and analytical laboratory techniques.
Overview
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem invites applications for a fully funded PhD candidate position within the Institute of Earth Sciences. The successful applicant will investigate ocean sources and sinks of carbonyl sulfide (COS) and carbon disulfide (CS2) using sulfur stable isotopes to improve climate and biogeochemical modeling. The role involves a combination of laboratory experiments and marine fieldwork, including research cruises departing from Israel and the USA. Candidates are expected to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams under the supervision of Prof. Alon Angert and Prof. Alon Amrani.
What you'll do
- Conduct laboratory experiments to measure sulfur isotope fractionation during various chemical and biological processes.
- Participate in sea-going research cruises departing from Israel and the USA to collect ocean water and air samples.
- Operate and maintain advanced analytical measurement systems such as Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS).
- Analyze complex isotopic datasets to evaluate global and local scales of oceanic sulfur gas sources and sinks.
- Collaborate with project supervisors and research team members to publish findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
