Postdoctoral Position in Speleothem Clumped and Fluid Inclusion Isotopes

There is an opening for a Postdoc to work on clumped isotopes and fluid inclusion isotopes in speleothems from Borneo and South Africa. The results from these methods will be compared to temperatures reconstructed with fluid inclusion microthermometry, which we have set up in Bergen recently. This comparison will allow investigating variations in isotopic disequilbrium in addition to temperature.
