PhD position: Identification of past major dust-producing events within our Solar System (MfN Berlin)	Closing date: 2024-11-22 Contact: Jenny Feige
As part of the ERC funded project NoSHADE we seek a talented PhD candidate to join our interdisciplinary team at the Museum f�r Naturkunde (Natural History Museum) in Berlin, Germany. The focus is on analysing micrometeorites from time-resolved sedimentary records and link them to specific cosmic events, such as collisions among asteroids or comet break-ups.

The overarching goal of the NoSHADE (Novel Perspectives on our Solar System History recorded in the Atacama Desert) project funded by the European Research Council (ERC, 101077668) is to collect traces of cosmic dust from Atacama Desert sedimentary records reaching back >10 million years and link them to specific cosmic events (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9SzMdAGtVk). Within our Solar System, cosmic events such as asteroid collisions or comet break-ups release interplanetary dust particles that encounter Earth and become part of sedimentary records as micrometeorites. To identify past major dust-producing events in our Solar System the focus is on analysing the micrometeorite types and fluxes over time, as well as reconstructing their exposure ages and origins by quantifying the content of cosmogenic radionuclides. We offer - Working in a dynamic interdisciplinary team with scientific excellence in astrophysics and geology and extensive professional networking opportunities. - Excellent infrastructure in an attractive working environment. - Exciting field work experience.
