Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

Applications are invited for a Post-doctoral Research Associate position in Paleoceanography, for a fixed-term of 22 months as part of the project Resolving asynchronous responses of North Atlantic climate to deglacial changes in ocean circulation (ASYNC) funded by NERC. The post holder will be based at the Department of Geography, University of Cambridge, and will work under the guidance of Dr Francesco Muschitiello.

Greenland ice cores and North Atlantic marine records show clear evidence of concomitant rapid climate and deep-ocean circulation shifts during the last deglaciation. It is widely accepted that these climate shifts involved large variations in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) via changes in high-latitude North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation and export. However, due to intrinsic limitations with the precision and accuracy of paleoceanographic timescales, there remain fundamental uncertainties as to whether North Atlantic abrupt climate shifts were forced or reinforced by changes in deep-water circulation. The project will determine the response time of North Atlantic climate to changes in NADW flow by aligning the timescales of Greenland ice cores and North Atlantic marine records using ultra high-resolution reconstructions of meteoric 10Be ¿a globally synchronous signal of past solar activity.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 22 months in the first instance.


The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
