Professor Antonio García-Alix from the Department of Stratigraphy and Paleontology at the University of Granada welcomes postdoctoral candidates interested in applying for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) in 2025 at this university. Please note that applicants must comply with the Mobility Rule (for more information about the 2025 call, please consult this link).

Brief description of the institution:

The University of Granada (UGR), founded in 1531, is one of Spain's largest and most important universities. With approximately 54,000 students and over 6,000 staff members, it offers a wide range of programs, including over 90 undergraduate degrees, 157 master's degrees, and 28 doctoral programs across 124 departments and nearly 50 centers. UGR is highly ranked nationally and internationally, recognized for its research excellence and participation in EU research frameworks.

Brief description of the Centre/Research Group:

The research group's main theme is reconstructing the physical and biological conditions of ancient environments to understand past climate fluctuations and predict future changes. The group focuses on paleoecological and paleoenvironmental studies of fossil mammals, paleolimnology, and anthropogenic impacts on the environment, using multiproxy approaches including geochemical, sedimentological, and geophysical methods.

The candidate will develop research in "Reconstruction of past environments," particularly paleoclimate and paleohydrology, using sedimentological, geochemical, and geophysical techniques. Potential topics include studying natural environmental backgrounds, human impacts, heavy metal pollution records, and developing new paleoenvironmental indicators such as biomarkers and isotopic analyses.

The group is experienced in leading national and international projects and supervising Marie Curie fellows, with a focus on EU-funded research areas like "Environment & Climate Action" and national initiatives on climate change.

Research Area:

• Environment and Geosciences (ENV)
