The Helmholtz-Institute for Ocean Research Kiel (GEOMAR) invites applications for
a Postdoctoral Position in the field of Physical Oceanography and/or Marine Biogeochemistry
with a starting date of September 1, 2013 or until the position is filled.
The position is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft as part of the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 754: Climate – Biogeochemical Interactions in the Tropical Ocean.
The research interests of the applicant should combine aspects of physical oceanography as well as biogeochemistry. The candidate will quantify the exchange of solutes, in particular those of nutrients and oxygen, between the benthic and pelagic environment of the oxygen minimum zones off Peru and Mauritania and determine benthic nutrient turnover rates. Data from an extensive observational program using state of the art observatories will be available for analysis and interpretation during the course of the project. The aim of the investigations of the candidate will be to improve the understanding of the contribution of solutes released from or taken up by the sediments to the solute budgets of the OMZs and to the primary production
within the ocean mixed layer at the continental margins off Peru and Mauritania.
A PhD in Physical Oceanography, Marine Chemistry or Marine Biology is required. Applicants with a PhD in Marine Chemistry/Biology should have fundamental knowledge in Physical Oceanography while applicants with a PhD in Physical Oceanography should have fundamental knowledge of Marine Biogeochemistry. The job holder will be expected to participate on research cruises to the Peruvian and Mauritanian oxygen minimum zones.
The full-time position is available until 31st December 2015 starting immediately. The salary will be according to the E13 TVöD pay scale. For additional information about the position please contact Dr. Stefan Sommer
(ssommer@geomar.de) or Dr. Marcus Dengler (mdengler@geomar.de). Detailed information about the Collaborative Research Center 754 can be found under http://www.sfb754.de
