The Faculty of Science at University of Tromso, Norway invites
applications for a PhD research fellowship in geology (marine geology,
palaeoceanography) as part of the project "Assessment of Benthic
Foraminifera As an Environmental Proxy In the Arctic Region (FORARC)."
Funded by the Research Council of Norway, the project is a collaboration
between the University of Tromso and the Norwegian Polar Institute. The
successful candidate will contribute to the development of environmental
proxies based on studies of sediment samples of benthic foraminifera

the last 1,000 years will be reconstructed. Measurements of Ca/Mg ratios
and stable carbon and oxygen isotopes are important methods on the
project.
The successful candidate will teach in marine geology and
paleoceanography. The normal period of appointment is four years, with
25 percent obligatory duties per year. Previous appointments as a
