Stockholm, Sweden Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet Full time

The Swedish Museum of Natural History is a government agency with a mandate to promote knowledge, research and interest in our world. It is a prominent research institution and Sweden's largest museum. For more than 200 years, the museum has been collecting specimens and data and conducting research on life on earth. The collections contain more than 11 million plants, animals, fungi, environmental samples, minerals and fossils. All research and knowledge are shared in the exhibitions, Cosmonova and in activities at the museum and digitally. At the Swedish Museum of Natural Historys Palaeobiology Department (PAL), we have approximately 15 employees. Research at the department involves questions about the origin of life on Earth and the evolution of animals and plants through time, with emphasis on the origin and evolution of Cenozoic vertebrates, Palaeozoic invertebrates and seed plants. We employ interdisciplinary approaches, such as palaeontology, sedimentology, and biogeochemistry to resolve questions about the ancient past. We study the structure of fossil plants and animals, undertake taxonomic studies, and utilize the diversity and specialized adaptations of past life to interpret and reconstruct ancient ecosystems. We also aim to answer questions about how ecosystems responded to global crises and how they recovered after catastrophic mass extinctions. Our research addresses climate change through geological time and its relationship to biodiversity changes. PAL manages over 2 million items in our collections. WORK TASKS Research on the Cambrian radiation. QUALIFICATIONS Requirements:

  • PhD in Biological Sciences .
  • Knowledge of how to process limestone samples for shelly fossils .
  • Knowledge of how to prepare samples for scanning electron microscopy and oxygen and carbon isotope analysis.
  • Experience in processing and publishing on, Cambrian fossils and localities.
  • Extensive field work experience Australia, China and Mongolia .
  • Good ability to successfully acquire funding from scientific funding organizations.
  • Excellent knowledge of English in both spoken and written forms.
  • Ability to lead projects and supervise.
