Postdoctoral Investigator (m/f) In the area of Marine Biogeochemistry

The Institute of Coastal Research investigates the physical and biogeochemical dynamics of the coastal ocean and the impact of anthropogenic influences on the natural state.

One scientific focus of the Institute of Coastal Research is the investigation of biogeochemical cycles in the coastal ocean. The Institute uses and develops the coastal observing system COSYNA, one of the densest in-situ measurement systems in the world. The remote sensing department develops algorithms to investigate ocean colour products for coastal regions. Within this framework, the study of carbon cycle dynamics in the coastal regions of the North Sea and beyond is a key research topic. This research is conducted using direct observations, proxies and numerical models to constrain carbon budgets terms and their variability.

We invite applications for a three-year postdoctoral investigator position (m/f) in the research group New Technologies at the Institute of Coastal Research with preferred starting date on February 1, 2019.

The tasks of the successful candidate will include:

  • development of a conceptual box model to analyse carbon budgets and determine means, trends and variability
  • analysis of relevant data sources (satellite, in situ, regional and global model hindcasts) to constrain carbon budget components
  • investigation of biogeochemical processes focussing on the carbon system, phytoplankton productivity and the role of nutrients
  • validation of results with independent data sets
  • analysis of budgeting results with regard to global applicability and relevance
  • planning, participation, and evaluation of research cruises
  • scientific publication and presentations
  • working as an integral part of a motivated multidisciplinary team within the institute and with external academic partners

 

==> Closing date for applications is January 6th, 2019
