A new job for #StableIsotope & #massspectrometer enthusiasts for 6 years in the @clusterroots.bsky.social at @uni-kiel.de: Responsibility for running the machines & for measurements. Science people, do not be put off by the word "Engineer". Deadline 31.12.25. Link: www.uni-kiel.de/personal/de/...
Job offer: PhD student in Palaeoclimatology/-ecology (f/m/d) As part of the SNF-project Signatures of Global Late Glacial Climate Change in Tree-Ring Records (SiGnaL), co-led by the Dendrosciences group at WSL and the Laboratory of Ion Beam Physics (LIP) at ETH Zurich, you will, along with two other PhD students and technicians, contribute to understanding the nature and drivers of abrupt climate changes during the Late Glacial period (approximately 11’000-15’000 years ago). Your work will include the collection, measurement, and integration of fossil wood and tree-ring material from various global sites. Through a multi-proxy approach - combining radiocarbon dating, stable isotope ratios, and quantitative wood anatomy - you will help to date and synchronize records across regions and reconstruct regional to global climate dynamics. This will help refine our understanding of Late Glacial climate dynamics and contribute to improvements of the global radiocarbon calibration curve. You have a Master's degree in Environmental Sciences, Earth Sciences, or a related field, and preferably have already gained experience with radio-carbon and stable isotope measurements. You are comfortable analyzing and visualizing data in R or Python and are motivated to publish your results in scientific journals. You enjoy to work in the lab, with large datasets, and have an interest in interdisciplinary and international research. You like to work independently, structured and accurate. You are communicative and team-oriented and have excellent spoken and written English language skills as well as at least the knowledge of one Swiss national language.

Job offer: Technician in Palaeoclimatology/-ecology 80% (f/m/d) As part of the SNSF-project Signatures of Global Late Glacial Climate Change in TreeRing Records (SiGnaL), co-led by the Dendrosciences Group at WSL and the Laboratory of Ion Beam Physics (LIP) at ETH Zurich, you will support research on the nature and drivers of abrupt climate changes during the Late Glacial period (approximately 11’000-15’000 years ago). You will assist three PhD researchers in dating, measuring, and synchronizing tree-ring samples from preserved subfossil wood across several regions. This will help refine our understanding of Late Glacial climate dynamics and contribute to improvements of the global radiocarbon calibration curve.Your main tasks will involve surface preparation and high-resolution scanning of subfossil tree-ring material, sample preparation for stable isotope analysis (δ¹³C / δ¹⁸O / δ²H) including image-based tree-ring width measurements, cutting of individual tree rings, cellulose extraction and homogenization, and packing of samples for isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS). In addition, you will contribute to the production of quantitative wood anatomical (QWA) data by preparing wood microsections and image-based measurements of cell structures using the software ROXAS. You preferably hold a Master's degree in Environmental Sciences, Earth Sciences, or a related field and have demonstrated experience in preparing wood samples for stable isotope, QWA, and/or radiocarbon analysis. ldeally, you are familiar with dendrochronology and laboratory work, enjoy contributing to methodological advancements, and have interest in interdisciplinary and international research. You work independently, structured and accurate, are communicative and team-oriented, and have very good spoken and written English language skills.

Screen pic showing mass spec stable isotope EA file and IRMS task list. Both have 5 things left to do.
😝 to my husband, who says I can't math
It's the end of a 30-hour analytical run & there are only 5 slots left in the EA file before it's full & I have 5 samples left to run, plus only 1 hour until 4pm Friday end of work week
I wasn't 💯 of my sums 😁

Question for the #remotesensing and #stableisotope crowds - has anyone applied SI mixing models from #ecology to Multiple endmember spectral mixture analysis (MESMA) in remote sensing? They seem like kinda the same thing conceptually & I know mixing models have been leaping fwd
