About Our Campus: Hebrew University’s Edmond J. Safra Campus is a vibrant hub of academic and research excellence nestled in the heart of Jerusalem. Our modern campus boasts state-of-the-art lab facilities, world-renowned faculty, and a stimulating environment that fosters scientific exploration, intellectual growth, and innovation.

About Our Department: The Institute of Earth Sciences is dedicated to understanding the processes that shape our planet, covering Earth's systems such as the solid Earth, biosphere, oceans, and atmosphere, and their relationship with the environment. Our research spans topics like mountain formation, ocean currents, and climate modeling, using state-of-the-art research laboratories.

About Our Research: The research project focuses on carbonyl sulfide (COS), the most abundant long-lived sulfur gas in the atmosphere, and its role as a proxy for terrestrial gross primary production (GPP). COS plays a crucial part in stratospheric sulfate aerosols that control Earth's albedo and temperature. The project's goal is to better understand the global and local sources and sinks of atmospheric COS using stable isotopes, enhancing our ability to close the flux budgets of both carbon and water. This involves measuring sulfur isotope ratios in COS emitted from soils, assessing COS isotopic fractionation during uptake by both C3 and C4 terrestrial plants, and studying COS diffusion and hydrolysis catalyzed by Carbonic Anhydrase.

Job Description: We are seeking a motivated and persistent PhD candidate with a broad interest in Earth and environmental sciences to join our project, "Plants, Soils, and Sulfur Stable Isotopes of Carbonyl Sulfide." The candidate will conduct fieldwork and laboratory work, using cutting-edge stable isotope measurement techniques and advanced analytical systems. This position offers an opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research related to biogeochemical cycles, global change, and climate science. The research is led by Prof. Alon Angert, and funding is provided throughout the course of study.

About Your Supervisor: Prof. Alon Angert is a renowned researcher in the field of Earth sciences, specializing in biogeochemical cycles and environmental processes. He is part of the Department of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Prof. Angert has extensive experience in studying biogeochemical processes and stable isotopes, and he is dedicated to mentoring students, encouraging interdisciplinary approaches, and fostering a collaborative research environment.

Funding: The position is fully funded, with an annual stipend of 72,000 NIS (~22,000 USD) for the first stage, with increases in advanced stages.

Your Profile (To excel in this role, we seek candidates with):

  • MSc (with thesis) in a relevant field.
  • A strong interest in Earth and environmental sciences, ranging from global photosynthesis to soil processes.
  • A background in soil or plant sciences is an advantage.
  • Experience with advanced analytical equipment, such as IRMS or other stable isotope systems, is highly desirable.
  • Strong motivation, initiative, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative team.

Embracing Diversity: At Hebrew University we believe that diversity inspires creativity, fosters curiosity, and enriches our ecosystem through academic collaboration and cultural exchange. We consider every member of our community an integral part, irrespective of their religion, gender, or ethnic origin.

HUJI is home to nearly 25,000 students across 6 campuses, including ~2,500 international students per year representing 90+ countries. You’ll enjoy the opportunity to engage with your peers here on equal ground, in an environment that promotes equity and inclusion, and celebrates the contribution of its talented members. 

Application: Please submit your application as three separate PDFs, each containing the following: 

  • Letter of Motivation
  • CV (including a list of publications)
  • Copy of Your Original Academic Degree(s)

Ensure each PDF is clearly labeled and complete before submission.

Application Deadline: See details below.
