Open Post Doc: Integrating Natural and Cultural Data: Focus Area, Indian Ocean

https://postdocs.stanford.edu/prospective/opportunities/open-postdoctoral-position-faculty-mentor-krish-seetah

Data gathering, assessment, and modeling across disciplinary divides offers an optimal approach to improve knowledge at the intersection of natural and anthropogenic systems. The Seetah Lab at Stanford University seeks a postdoctoral scholar with the capacity to support field research on a range of projects in the Indian Ocean, principally the islands of the Republic of Mauritius, including the Chagos Archipelago. Support for this position comes from two projects: ‘Adaptive Reflective Modelling – ARM – Against Malaria’, funded by a Propel Grant from the Office of the Vice Provost and Dean of Research, and ‘Decolonization through Natural and Cultural Resource Assessment’, funded by a Big Ideas for Oceans Grant, Woods Institute for the Environment. Requirements for the post-doc are a Ph.D. in anthropology, archaeology, heritage studies, environmental science, or combination/experience thereof. Experience of working in the Indian Ocean region would be an added benefit, as would knowledge of archaeological survey techniques, or the digital humanities. The postdoc will undertake surveys to assess both natural and cultural data resources to support the two projects mentioned above, contribute to publications, and provide logistical support as needed. 
 

Required Qualifications: 

  1. Ph.D. in anthropology, archaeology, heritage studies, environmental science, or combination/experience thereof
  2. Prior field experience


Beneficial but not required skills:

  1. Experience in archaeological survey

Postdoctoral position in Marine Geophysics and Marine Geoarchaeology

https://international.au.dk/about/profile/vacant-positions/job/postdoctoral-position-in-marine-geophysics-and-marine-geoarchaeology

The SeisLab Aarhus research group at the Department of Geoscience, Aarhus University, Denmark, invites applications for a postdoctoral position in marine geophysics and marine geoarchaeology. We are searching for a motivated and engaged researcher with experience in marine geophysics to be part of a newly started research group studying late Quaternary and Holocene processes and landscape evolution.

The postdoctoral position is a fixed-term full-time position for 2 years and 9 months with possibility of 3 months extension if funding allows.

The postdoctoral work will be part of the international ERC Synergy Grant project SUBNORDICA, where scientists in the fields of geology, geophysics, and archaeology work together to develop methodologies for finding submerged stone age settlements in deeper water settings such as the North Sea. The research group is leading a work package where the focus is on the palaeolandscapes in the eastern North Sea. Other members in the group work on sea level modelling, probabilistic inversion of geophysical data, and automated prediction of archaeological sites from geological and archaeological parameters.


Job description

The postdoctoral position will focus on palaeolandscape modelling to generate palaeotopography and palaeocoastlines using both legacy and new geophysical, geotechnical and geological data primarily from the Danish and German EEZ. The post doc will be responsible for the interpretation of marine seismic and acoustic data. Specific tasks include synthesizing existing interpretations across the eastern North Sea, as well as generating new results from seismic mapping and data integration. The candidate will further study the role of critical topographical elements such as the Dogger Bank and the Elbe Palaeo Valley and how such may have influenced the landscape evolution and in turn the habitation of Doggerland.

The position provides possibilities for offshore field work and participation in joint research expeditions in the North Sea and surveys in the Baltic Sea. It is also expected that the postdoc takes part in coordination and organization of various research group activities and contributes to supervision and teaching at the department as a co-supervisor of (under-) graduate students and as guest lecturer. Within the SUBNORDICA project’s framework, there is considerable freedom for the postdoctoral researcher and the candidate will be working closely together with other post docs and senior staff involved in the research group and the larger SUBNORDICA project.


Facilities

All laboratory facilities at the Department of Geoscience will be available for the research project. This includes the acquisition, processing and interpretation facilities at SeisLab Aarhus for both multi- and single channel marine seismic and acoustic data, Aarhus University’s research vessel Aurora, as well as an advanced sediment core laboratory.


Qualifications

The qualified applicant will have a PhD degree in geoscience or related fields. Candidates should have a background in high-resolution marine seismic and acoustic methods and have experience with marine geophysical data acquisition, processing, and interpretation. A good record of offshore field work experience is beneficial. The ideal candidate will further have experience with the shallow subsurface of the North Sea or other similar settings, and have some insights into sediment cores and marine geoarchaeology. Experience with seismic interpretation and GIS software is required while experience with numerical modeling and programming is beneficial.

The candidate is expected to have well-documented research experience with academic publications and presentations at conferences and meetings. The applicant should also have effective organizational skills, with previous project management being beneficial, and be able to work collaboratively as part of a team. Oral and written English skills are required.
 

Deadline

The deadline for applications is 15 February, 2025. We expect to conduct interviews in late February, and the selected candidate will be able to start 1 April 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.


Application

The application must include the following:

  • Cover Letter, including motivation for applying and information on how the candidate’s qualifications and experience will aid the project
  • Curriculum Vitae, including a list of publications
  • PhD certificate or a statement regarding the expected date of completing of PhD studies
  • One page statement of research goals
  • Contact information (name, position, institution, email) for three references

We refer to the faculty’s guidelines for applicants.


Place of work and area of employment 

Your place of work would be the Department of Geoscience, Høegh-Guldbergs Gade 2, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark, and the area of employment is Aarhus University with related departments. 

The Department of Geoscience prioritizes diversity and a good work environment, as this is a prerequisite for conducting progressive research. At the department, we have a diverse and international research environment, with skilled employees and access to modern and well-equipped laboratories.
 

Contact information

For further information, please contact Associate Professor Katrine Juul Andresen, email: katrine.andresen@geo.au.dk. 

Application procedure

Shortlisting is used. This means that after the deadline for applications – and with the assistance from the assessment committee chairman, and the appointment committee if necessary, – the head of department selects the candidates to be evaluated. All applicants will be notified whether or not their applications have been sent to an expert assessment committee for evaluation. The selected applicants will be informed about the composition of the committee, and each applicant is given the opportunity to comment on the part of the assessment that concerns him/her self. Once the recruitment process is completed a final letter of rejection is sent to the deselected applicants.

Letter of reference

If you want a referee to upload a letter of reference on your behalf, please state the referee’s contact information when you submit your application. We strongly recommend that you make an agreement with the person in question before you enter the referee’s contact information, and that you ensure that the referee has enough time to write the letter of reference before the application deadline. Unfortunately, it is not possible to ensure that letters of reference received after the application deadline will be taken into consideration.

If you wish to add a referee after you have submitted your application, you must send this person’s details (name, job title, place of work, and email address) as well as the name of the position you have applied for to: HR.Nattech@au.dk
