micropaleontology (Project A3)
A 3 year position beginning October 1, 1998 is available in the newly =
founded =8CGraduate College on Evolutionary Transformations and =
Faunal Boundaries=B9 to study the evolutionary reponse of the marine =
plankton to climatic and impact events across the Eocene-Oligocene =
boundary. The project will involve collecting new primary data on =
radiolarian faunas, and synthesis of climate and other microfossil =
data from the existing literature. A parallel student project on =
impacts and evolution of the physical system is also planned by the =
Institute of Mineralogy, and close cooperative work between the =
research groups is expected. A new, broadly interdisciplinary =
curriculum in earth systems and evolutionary sciences will be =
included as part of the training program.
Applicants should have sucessfully completed an appropriate degree =
