Scholarship Description: The IMPRS-gBGC located in Jena, Germany, offers PhD fellowships to
outstanding students. The project aims at
geochemical characterization of sediments and
Multi-proxy reconstruction of global circulation (such as the Asian Monsoon).
In the study sediment samples will be analyzed for grain-size, organic carbon,
total nitrogen, major and trace element concentrations
as well as biomarkers (e.g. n-alkanes, n-alcohols) and compound-specific isotopes (D, 13C, 14C).
After you have been selected IMPRS-gBGC office will happily assist you with your transition to Jena. Successful applicants are expected to join
in April 2014. Handicapped
persons with comparable qualifications receive preferential status.
