Open positions
ArcTrain invites applications for new PhD positions!
ArcTrain follows the scientific objective of advancing the understanding of variability and feedbacks in Arctic and North Atlantic oceanic and cryospheric processes. Along this central research theme, ArcTrain provides structured training to PhD students in an interdisciplinary framework of paleoclimatology, oceanography, environmental physics and climate science.
We are looking for motivated and qualified candidates with interest in Earth and environmental sciences, holding strong undergraduate degrees in disciplines like environmental physics, oceanography, (paleo)climatology or geosciences.
