Title: Postdoc opportunity for a female researcher,
Departmen
Postdoc opportunity for a
female researcher, Department of Geology, University of Oslo,
Norway
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position (3.5 years)
in petroleum related biostratigraphy. The position is part of a
strategy to increase the proportion of female researchers at the
University of Oslo and is thus open to women only.
The Department of Geology has petroleum- and environment related
geology as prioritised research fields.
The palaeontology group at the department includes four permanent
staff members, primarily working on microfossils - benthic
foraminifera, dinoflagellate cysts and diatoms, from Mesozoic to
Recent deposits. Applications of microfossils to sequence- and seismic
stratigraphy are of particular relevance.
The successful candidate will be working on pre-Quaternary microfossil
assemblages preferably from the North Sea or Arctic areas (e.g.,
Svalbard). Within these limits, the candidate is free to choose her
own research project or join ongoing projects at the department, which
e.g., includes mid to late Jurassic of Haltenbanken, off mid Norway
and Palaeogene of the North Sea. The work will be performed in
collaboration with the oil industry.
The candidate will be expected to spend up to 20% of her time on
teaching or other relevant tasks.
Candidates with a geological background who can document scientific
qualifications in microfossil based biostratigraphy, either from
academia or industry, are welcome to apply. The candidates should
either already hold a PhD or have submitted her thesis before the
closing date.

The application, including curriculum vitae, copies of degree
certificates and/or examination results, papers showing previously
held positions, a statement of future research interests, a complete
publication list, copies of scientific publications, and addresses and
emails of three referees, should be sent to:
