The University of Western Australia (UWA) is ranked amongst the top Australian universities and a member of the prestigious Group of Eight research-intensive universities ranked among the top 100 universities in the world.
We invite a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher to undertake cutting-edge research in the area of chemical oceanography/palaeoceanography within the Centre, working under the general guidance of ARC Laureate Fellow Professor Malcolm McCulloch.
The Research Fellow will develop an innovative research program and foster research excellence within the ARC Centre in the area of coral reef studies that contributes to the general theme of the Centre: Responding to a Changing World. We are seeking a person with high-level expertise who can take a leading role in developing and utilising state-of-the-art in-situ laser ablation geochemical facilities to better understand how global warming and ocean acidification will impact both deep-sea and shallow water coral reef systems.
The research will address fundamental questions related to CO2 driven climate change and how the combined forces of global warming and ocean acidification will influence key processes underpinning coral reef resilience and bio-calcification generally. Topics of interest include coral calcification, bio-calcification systems as geochemical archives of climate change and the capacity of both shallow and deep-sea calcifying systems to adapt to rapidly changing environmental conditions.
