A post-doctoral position is available at the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel
(GEOMAR), Germany within the German Research Foundation (DFG) collaborative research
centre (SFB) 754: Climate-Biogeochemical Interactions in the Tropical Ocean on the topic:
Simulation of N, P and Fe cycles in sediments underlying oxygen minimum zones
The candidate will develop an empirical diagenetic model to predict how oxygen depletion
affects the flux of N, P and Fe from the sea floor. Applicants should have a solid background
in biogeochemical processes and early diagenesis. The model will be coupled to an existing
global circulation model developed within the project (www.sfb754.de), and an expertise in
subsurface transport processes, programming and numerical modelling techniques would be
highly beneficial. Willingness to participate in ship expeditions and data collection for
developing the model is required.
The full-time position is available until 31st December 2015 starting immediately.
For further information please contact Dr. Andrew Dale (adale(at)geomar.de) or Dr. Christian
Hensen (chensen(at)geomar.de).
