invites applications for a postdoctoral position. The broader research project examines the biogeochemical cycling of marine trace metals and aims to better understand how the marine chemistry constrains the organisms and vice versa. The postdoctoral fellow
will mainly conduct laboratory experiments on the adaptation and acclimation capacities of Southern Ocean phytoplankton to different environmental conditions, specifically changes in trace metal availability. Thus, preference will be given to applicants with
expertise in laboratory algal cultures and their interaction with trace metals. Experience with phytoplankton cell isolation, photophysiology and molecular biology (“omics”) is an advantage. Experiments may also be conducted on board R/V SA Agulhas II to study
in-situ the relationship between phytoplankton community structure and environmental conditions, including during wintertime and along the ice shelf. Thus, familiarity with work at sea is welcome, but is not a requirement.

of results in publications and presentations. The applicant may assist with future proposal preparation and will have the opportunity to advise graduate students and, to some extent, support undergraduate teaching and outreach activities. Opportunities for
interdisciplinary research exist through collaboration with the other groups in South Africa (e.g., oceanography, biotechnology) and internationally (e.g., GEOTRACES community).

invites applications for a postdoctoral position. The broader research project examines the application of stable isotopes and biomarkers to better understand the biogeochemical cycling of carbon in marine and terristrial environments. The research will focus
on aspects of both modern carbon cycle and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. The postdoctoral fellow will apply isotope measurements to laboratory experiments and modern oceans and use biomarkers and compound specific isotopes to study Southern African and
Southern Ocean palaeoenvironmental records. Thus, preference will be given to applicants with expertise in extraction and analyses of biomarkers and compound specific isotpes for environmental reconstruction through glacial-interglacial Quarternary records.
The position will require fieldwork and travel therefore physical fitness and ability to work long hours in harsh conditions is a pre-requisit. Postdoctoral activities will include setting up the newly acquired Piccaro system for measurement of C, H, N and
O isotopes, extraction of biomarker compounds, data collection, and dissemination of results in publications and presentations. The applicant may assist with future proposal preparation and will have the opportunity to advise graduate students and, to some
extent, support undergraduate teaching and outreach activities. Opportunities for interdisciplinary research exist through collaboration with the other groups in South Africa (e.g., oceanography, biotechnology) and internationally (e.g., GEOTRACES community).</span></p>
