Research Fellow in Isotope Geochemistry and Biomineralisation

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description Applications are invited from researchers to work as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in the University of Southampton’s world-leading Geochemistry Research Group ( https://www.southampton.ac.uk/oes/research/groups/geochemistry.page ) in the School of Ocean and Earth Science at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton. You will join a community of >500 researchers and support staff drawn from physics, chemistry, biology, geoscience, and engineering, with a strong focus on marine biology and marine environments, to work in a project at the interface between geochemistry, palaeoclimate, and biomineralisation. This post is funded through an ERC-selected Starting Grant to Dr David Evans ( https://www.southampton.ac.uk/people/62c7dp/doctor-david-evans ) but additionally involves a number of researchers from within the School and is closely linked to a growing team at the University of Southampton focused on driving forward the societal impact of palaeoclimate datasets by mechanistically understanding biomineralisation processes and boundary condition changes, funded via both the Royal Society and Dr Evans’ ERC-selected Starting Grant. Our group’s research focuses in part on the use of biomineral geochemistry to infer ion transport processes during calcification, because the (trace) metal composition of the shell or skeleton must be controlled by the composition of the fluid at the sit
