The Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) opens a competitive call for applications for a Technical Assistant with a glaciological background. The applicant will develop her/his work in the context of the Spanish funded project iMechPro: Ice Microstructure and Mechanics, and their Implications for the Integrity of Climate Proxies in Ice Cores.
The main objective of this project is to study the formation and decay of natural ice masses and their climate proxies by means of automated optical microscopy and microstructural analysis at cold temperatures.
The research activities of the Technical Assistant will be conducted at BC3, in its low-temperature laboratory for ice microscopy, the IzotzaLab.
