The Department of Geosciences at the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) invites applications for a full-time post-doctoral research position in micropaleontology and sedimentology. The successful candidate will receive a one-year appointment. The selected candidate will contribute to an ongoing research project focused on micro-lithofacies, fossil faunal assemblages, sedimentological analysis, and sequence stratigraphy, with the objective of developing a paleo-environmental model for a specific geologic period (Paleogene) in the UAE.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Conducting geological fieldwork.
2. Performing laboratory analyses, including micropaleontological assessments and petrographic description.
3. Interpreting biostratigraphic and sedimentological data to reconstruct past depositional environments.

Note: Applications must be submitted online (see link below) and the position remains open until filled.

Minimum Qualification:

1. Ph.D. in Micropaleontology (foraminifera, ostracoda) and biostratigraphy.
2. Strong academic track record with demonstrable experience in micropaleontology, facies analysis, and paleoenvironmental reconstruction.
3. Proficiency in fieldwork.
4. Hands-on experience in laboratory work related to micropaleontology and biostratigraphy.
5. Ability to work in a collaborative research environment and engage in professional networking.

Preferred Qualification:

1. A strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals.
