The Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA) at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona is a leading national institute carrying out research and education in the environmental sciences. ICTA promotes basic and applied multidisciplinary research into environmental processes and the relations between the changing environment and society. ICTA currently has 41 academic staff and over 80 Early-stage researchers (PhD students, post-doctoral research associates)
ICTA invites applications for 1 fellowship in marine palaeoclimatology of 3 years for an Early-stage researcher (ESR) at the PhD student level
The fellowship is sponsored by the 7th Framework Programme of the European Community as part of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network “GATEWAYS”.
The ESR will be embedded within ICTA’s marine science section that conducts research into marine palaeoclimatology and palaeo-environments. The ESR fellowship is directed towards establishing ocean deep water distributions in the past and their relation to variable heat and salt transports to and across the Atlantic. Analytical methodologies specifically focus on radiogenic isotopes. The ESR fellow is expected to achieve a PhD degree during the fellowship.
The ESR will be jointly co-supervised by Profs. Rainer Zahn (marine palaeoclimatology) and Pere Masque (environmental isotope physics).
Eligibility
EC Marie Curie ITN recruitment and mobility regulations apply. Eligible for the ESR fellowship at the ICTA/UAB are:
- Spanish nationals who have legally resided and had their main activity outside Spain and the EU (i.e., in a nonassociated third country) for at least three of the last four years immediately prior to the ESR appointment;
- Non-Spanish nationals who have not resided or carried out their main activity in Spain for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the ESR appointment (short stays such as holidays are not taken into account);
- Fellows holding a Master degree in a relevant field and are in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent) of their research career, including the period of research training, starting at the date of obtaining the degree which formally entitles them to enter a doctorate;

Marine photosynthesis supports almost all ocean life and is a vital component of the global carbon cycle. Uptake of carbon for photosynthesis is also an effective method of ‘locking up’ atmospheric carbon over long timescales, and may form a vital part of our long-term strategy towards reducing atmospheric CO2 levels
