Zum Bewerberportal
The applicant will work in the frame of the EU Research and Innovation Action projects and activities, aiming to develop new products to predict and protect the biodiversity of marine ecosystems. It will illustrate their application within Digital Twins of the Ocean by fostering innovation and collaboration across various disciplines and domains. In the advertised position, focus of the modelling will be on coupled hydrodynamical-wind waves and sediment modelling.
This work will contribute to the development of Digital Ocean Twins fostering innovation and collaboration across various disciplines and domains. Our initiative will showcase the application of diverse Digital Ocean Twin frameworks and demonstrate the capabilities of digital ocean twins through selected case studies in the sector of offshore industries. This will improve the understanding of intricate marine systems, considering their physical, biological, ecological, and economic determinants, aiding in informed policymaking.
Equal opportunity is an important part of our personnel policy. We would therefore strongly encourage qualified women to apply for the position. In principle, the full time 3-year (post-doc) position (39 h/week) is also sharable.
The new position builds on successful recent modelling and Artificial Intelligence (AI) scientific developments and thus offers the best prospects for a career in earth system and climate sciences as well as in the rapidly growing fields of Digital Ocean Twins and multiuse of resources.
Your tasks
We are looking for a motivated and eager-to-learn new colleague with good programming or data science skills. The applicant will use coupled modelling frameworks of the ocean including hydrodynamics, wind waves, biogeochemistry and suspended sediment dynamics to setup cross-sectorial scenario simulations including climate scenarios and multiuse scenarios. The applicant will be trained by our team in state-of-the-art tools and will proceed in close cooperation with the project partners from all over Europe. The position offers an excellent opportunity for an application-oriented entry into Digital Twins initiative, whereby the work within the framework of the EU horizon mission ocean project contributes directly to the goals of the European Green Deal Initiative.
Your profile
- a Master’s Degree and PhD in (ocean) modelling (e.g. oceanograohy, physics, mathematics, computer science, data science biogeochemistry, meteorology)
- capacity and interest to work in different fields of marine science including physics, biogeochemistry, ecological processes, environmental engineering
- very good written and verbal English communication skills are required
- good communication skills for communicating results to different audience including general public in relation to dissemination activities
We offer you
- an exciting and varied job in a research centre with around 1,000 employees from more than 60 nations
- a well-connected research campus (public transport bus) and best networking opportunities
- individual opportunities for further training
- social benefits according to the collective agreement of the public service and remuneration up to pay group 13 according to TV EntgO Bund
- an excellent technical infrastructure and modern workplace equipment
- 6 weeks of holiday per year; company holidays between Christmas and New Year's Day
- very good compatibility of private and professional life; offers of mobile and flexible work
- family-friendly company policy with childcare facilities, e.g. nursery close to the company
- free assistance program for employees (EAP)
- corporate benefits
- a varied offer in the canteen on campus
Severely disabled persons and those equaling severely disabled persons who are equally suitable for the position will be considered preferentially within the framework of legal requirements.
