Specialists in Planktonic Foram Biostratigraphy (Cenozoic) and Paleomagnetics For based in ECORD Countries
IODP BENGAL FAN EXPEDITION 354 (29 JAN – 31 MARCH 2015)
DEADLINE: 13 MAY 2014
The European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling (ECORD) offers you the unique possibility to sail in the
framework of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP), an international research program for drilling at sea.
ECORD is seeking applications from experienced (1) planktonic foraminifera biostratigraphers with proven knowledge of the Cenozoic, especially the Neogene or (2) paleomagnetists, for the IODP Bengal Fan Expedition 354 aboard the JOIDES Resolution. The application period closes 13 May 2014. Goals: This expedition aims to drill a transect of sites across the middle Bengal Fan to obtain a Neogene and Late Paleogene record of Himalayan orogeny and climate. The objectives are to investigate interactions among the growth of the Himalaya and Tibet, the development of the Asian monsoon, and processes affecting the carbon cycle and global climate. For more information: The original IODP proposals and expedition planning information can be found under http://iodp.tamu.edu/scienceops/expeditions/bengal_fan.html The Application Process is open to all ECORD member scientists: Please send the following documents (PDF only) by email ([email protected]) to the ESSAC Office: 1) a CV; 2) a letter of interest outlining your specific expertise, previous involvement in DSDP/ ODP/ IODP expeditions, research interests; and 3) a publication list. Young researchers must additionally provide a letter of support from their host institution including information on the post-‐cruise science support. The application should include how the candidate intends to achieve the proposed scientific objectives, with information on the funding scheme and support from host institution. In addition to the ESSAC application, please send a copy of your application documents to your national office/delegate, see http://www.essac.ecord.org/index.php?mod=about&page=ESSAC.
