Doctoral Researcher - Gas Hydrates in Climate Change | Doktorand:in (w_m_d) – Gashydrate im Klimawandel

Job Summary

This doctoral researcher position focuses on investigating the decomposition behavior of natural gas hydrates in response to global warming. The successful candidate will independently plan and conduct experiments to determine the decomposition kinetics of gas hydrate samples, considering sediment type and pore water composition. Key responsibilities include characterizing gas hydrate phases and sediments using advanced analytical methods like Raman spectroscopy, microscopy, and X-ray diffractometry, as well as publishing research findings in international journals and presenting at conferences. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to critical climate change research within a dynamic, international environment at Germany's national center for solid Earth research, fostering collaboration with project partners and utilizing state-of-the-art facilities.
