<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We are looking for an experienced nannofossil paleontologist (or paleomagnetist) for IODP Expedition 387 (Amazon Margin). If you are in an IODP member country and wish to apply for this special
call, visit your country’s Program Member Office website (you can find links here:
<a href="http://iodp.tamu.edu/participants/applytosail.html">http://iodp.tamu.edu/participants/applytosail.html</a> ) to see if your office is accepting applications. The application deadline (as least for USSSP and ESSAC) is 1 August 2019.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">Expedition 387 will drill the upper portion of the Foz do Amazonas basin of the equatorial margin of Brazil to recover a complete, high-resolution sedimentary sequence
spanning nearly the entire Cenozoic. This expedition is the marine complement to the Trans-Amazon Drilling Project transect of continental drill sites, and will address fundamental questions about the Cenozoic climatic evolution of the Amazon region, the origins
and evolution of the neotropical rain forest and its incomparable biodiversity, the paleoceanographic history of the western equatorial Atlantic, and the origins of the transcontinental Amazon River. Core and log data from sites on the uppermost continental
slope will be used to: (1) generate a continuous record of climate and biodiversity in Cenozoic South America at unprecedented resolution; (2) reconstruct the oceanographic conditions of the western tropical Atlantic; (3) provide critical marine biostratigraphic
control for correlation with the Trans-Amazon Drilling Project; (4) determine the onset and history of trans-continental drainage of the proto-Amazon River into the Atlantic; and (5) test major hypotheses about the originations and extinctions of tropical
South American biota. The expedition will occur from 26 April to 26 June 2020.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
