About the University of Dayton

Basic information and contact details for the University of Dayton

The University of Dayton (UD) is a Roman Catholic research university in Dayton, Ohio. Its motto is “For God and Country”. The seed for UD was planted in 1850 at Dewberry Farm, a 125-acre plot of vineyards, orchards and a mansion house, where St Mary’s School for Boys was founded. Over 150 years the school became coeducational and expanded its teaching and research facilities to become a university. It retains its roots in the teaching of the Society of Mary, whose members attempt to imitate her in their spirituality and daily work. UD has been involved in many local, national and international outreach programmes. They include renovating an urban school to become a neighbourhood centre and establishing safe drinking water in a village in Cameroon. The university has five academic divisions: the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business Administration, the School of Engineering, the School of Law and the School of Education and Health Sciences. Over 80 undergraduate programmes of study are offered. UD was the first university in the United States to offer an undergraduate programme in human rights. This pre-professional degree in the department of political science is ideal for any students wishing to launch a career in legal, governmental, and non-profit sectors. The university claims that Dayton is one of the most underrated cities in the United States, with a vibrant cultural scene to enjoy during the day and a buzzing nightlife. Miles of bicycle and hiking trails wind through local parks. Alumni include many notable people, such as the inventor of the Control-Alt-Delete keyboard command, David Bradley, Super Bowl-winning coaches Jon Gruden and Chuck Noll, and the 1987 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, Charles J. Pedersen.

University of Southampton

United Kingdom, Southampton


The School of Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton is seeking to recruit a Research Fellow in Palaeoceanography and Earth System Model Development. The successful applicant will work on the development and application of the cGENIE Earth system model on multiple sub-projects of the ERC grant ‘Determining the drivers of extinction across space and time’, under the supervision of institutional lead Dr. Richard Stockey and in collaboration with team members at the University of Oxford (led by Prof. Erin Saupe). The post holder will specifically work to generate a series of reconstructive models of 3D ocean biogeochemistry through 1) the last ~800,000 years and 2) the Phanerozoic (last ~540 million years). A key focus of this role is to conduct Earth system model development to improve representation of ocean biogeochemistry in space and time for the intervals focused on in this research project. This is a relatively short-term, specialist Earth system modelling position (15-month duration). The post holder is therefore expected to have prior experience in intermediate complexity Earth system modelling and experience integrating key components of Earth system evolution on these timescales, in particular linking model output to geochemical data and working with astronomical forcings. The successful candidate will either hold, or be nearing completion of, a relevant PhD/DPhil and will have appropriate research experience alongside strong subject-specific expertise. They should be capable of working independently within established research programmes, managing their own research activities and contributing to academic publications. Strong communication skills are essential, including the ability to clearly present research ideas and findings, as well as representing the research group effectively in meetings and collaborative discussions.
