About us:
ICBM is an interdisciplinary research institute for fundamental and applied marine research. The internationally renowned institute aims at understanding the functioning of marine environmental systems through close cooperation of the various scientific disciplines (chemistry, biology, physics, mathematical modelling) of its more than 20 research groups. The position is associated with the working group of Biogeochemical Ocean Modeling at ICBM.
Your tasks:
The successful candidate will further develop a biogeochemical model on marine and sedimentary carbon and nutrient dynamics to assess benthic-marine elemental fluxes. A central aspect of the position is the coupling of an existing sedimentary model (OMEN-SED) with an ocean model within an Earth System Model, which focuses on marine dissolved organic matter dynamics (MICDOC).
The candidate will be responsible for realizing the model coupling and for conducting numerical simulations to investigate benthic-marine fluxes of carbon and nutrients in different climate scenarios. In addition, the position involves disseminating research results through publications in peer-reviewed journals and presenting findings at national and international conferences.
Your profile:
Required skills and experience:
Additional skills preferred:
We offer:
We offer a stimulating scientific environment in an internationally connected, open, and friendly working environment. The compatibility of work and family life is of particular concern to the University of Oldenburg. Therefore, we offer the opportunity for flexible working time and workplaces. Equal opportunity is an inherent part of our personnel policy.
Our standards:
The University of Oldenburg is dedicated to increase the percentage of female employees in the field of science. Therefore, female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. In accordance to § 21 Section 3 NHG, female candidates with equal qualifications will be preferentially considered. Applicants with disabilities will be given preference in case of equal qualification.
