Postdoctoral Researcher Positions: Modeling the biological pump
Über diesen Job
(2 years)
The Division of Climate- and Environmental Physics at the Physics Institute,
University of Bern, invites applications for two Postdoctoral Researcher positions to
investigate zooplankton dynamics and marine particle fluxes under past, present and
future conditions in marine biogeochemistry models.
This research aims to advance our understanding of how global warming will affect the biological pump, a critical component of the ocean's carbon cycle and climate regulation. The successful candidate will develop and apply state-of-the-art models to simulate the biological pump under past, present and future conditions, integrating observational data, in particular BGC-Argo observations, and laboratory results.
Responsibilities
Develop models to simulate the marine particle flux under past, present and future climate scenarios, and/or to simulate zooplankton seasonal migration.
Analyze model output and compare results with observational datasets, in particular BGC-Argo data.
Publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals and present at international conferences.
Contribute to the Division's teaching and outreach activities.
Be a kind, supportive, and engaged member of our team-we value not only scientific excellence but also friendship, collaborations and mutual respect within our group.
