Professor in Geo-Biosphere Interactions across the Geologic Record

Ref 2588746 \\\| Date: 2 Nov 2026 !\[Unicom\]( ) The University of Lausanne (\[U\](\< \>)nil) is a leading international teaching and research institution, bringing together nearly 5,000 staff members and 17,500 students across its Dorigny campus and the sites of the University Hospital (CHUV) and the Épalinges campus. As an employer, UNIL is committed to excellence, recognition of individual contributions, and social responsibility. The Faculty of Geosciences and Environment (\[FGSE\](\< \>)) of the University of Lausanne invites applications for the position of: Professor in Geo\\-Biosphere Interactions across the Geologic Record =================================================================== The appointment will be made at the Assistant Professor level (tenure track to the rank of an Associate Professor) at the Institute of Earth Sciences (\[ISTE\](\< \>)) of the Faculty. The planned starting date is the 1st of August 2027\\. We are seeking a professor who will develop research and teaching in the general field of Earth's sedimentary geological record and how it can be used to understand interactions between climate, geology, and ecosystems in deep time as drivers of the evolution of life on a planetary scale. This professor will examine past geological events, working at the interface of sedimentology, stratigraphy, paleontology, and geochemistry, with a strong field component. The work will combine geological field observations with analyses and experimental approaches that can be developed within the excellent laboratory facilities within the Faculty and \[ELSTE\](\< \>). The successful candidate will conduct multi\\-proxy research that aims to clarify the interplay between paleoenvironmental conditions, depositional processes, and diagenetic alterations of sedimentary successions, to give insight into major events in Earth's history. Research topics should be grounded in sedimentology and/or stratigraphy, and could include studying the origin and evolution of life; mass extinction events, recoveries and adaptive radiations; major environmental changes in the marine and terrestrial realms; stress influences on biogeochemical cycles; and the interactions between life and the environment. We stress that we are seeking someone who principally conducts research with implications for understanding the geological rock record, rather than modern or recent processes. This professorship is closely integrated into the new \[NCCR \*Genesis\*\](\< \>)...
