Anta-Clarisse Sarr

I currently am a Postdoctoral Scholar at Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oregon (USA), but will start my own group at CEREGE (France) early 2026. My research focuses at understanding past changes in ocean and atmospheric circulation using Earth System Modeling. To do so I blend tracers-enabled climate models (marine biogeochemistry, isotopes) with any type of proxy records available.

Most of my ongoing projects encompass the following themes :

• Neogene (23-3 Ma) ocean-atmosphere dynamics, with emphasis on monsoons, Indian Ocean and/or Intermediate water circulation
• Tracers-enabled climate models for data-model integration
• (Paleo)Ocean and planktons across timescales

I am also interested at exploring variability and teleconnections especially related to the Indian Ocean at any time scales.

At the moment, I do not have funding for Master, PhD or Postdoctoral positions but I am happy to discuss and explore external funding opportunities with anyone interested, including MSCA Postdocs fellowship fellowship (open to anyone, deadline in September each year). I welcome colleagues with expertise in analytical tools but that wish to explore modeling as much as modelers. CEREGE has an extended geochemistry & micropaleontology expertise/infrastructure that is ideal to develop collaborative data-model approaches.

You can also contact me if you aim at applying for tenured positions at CNRS or IRD (those are national-scale recruitment process in France) and want to discuss about the process or potential collaborations.
