Dear colleagues,
please see below for our job advertisement in benthic-pelagic ecosystem modeling.
Kind regards,
Carsten Lemmen
Our Institute for Coastal Research invites applications for a 3-year
Postdoc position (m/f)
code no. 2014/KS 3
in Benthic-Pelagic Ecosystem Modelling.
Marine and coastal ecosystems display an intriguing variability. Especially in shallow areas of shelf seas the strong coupling between pelagic and benthic dynamics generates multi-scale effects on biogeochemistry and ecology. This benthic-pelagic coupling challenges our understanding of shelf and coastal ecosystems and hence marks a bottleneck in model-based approaches to relevant questions such as on greenhouse gas emissions, impacts of new offshore structures, or coastal water quality. The objective of the position is to hindcast, and thereby understand, the multi-scale, long-term ecosystem variability in the southern North Sea, with focus on the benthic-pelagic interface.
The successful candidate will integrate existing monitoring data together with high resolution forcing fields (COSYNA, COASTDAT) and maps for benthic geo-ecological variables. She/he will employ a trait-based, adaptive model for pelagic plankton and should extend this model by a trait-based description for benthic macrofauna and microphytobenthos. The benthic-pelagic ecosystem model will be embedded into a novel modular framework structure as developed in the project ?Modular System for Shelves and Coasts? (MOSSCO), which integrates model and data components across all major coastal Earth-system compartments (e.g., benthic biogeochemistry). The successful candidate should design and conduct numerical experiments to identify key mechanisms at the benthic-pelagic interface. Her/his work is also aimed to contribute to an ongoing long-term reconstruction of the southern North Sea ecosystem.
We seek a candidate with a proven expertise in numerical modelling, ecology, and biogeochemistry. Profound programming and strong writing skills are desired. Applicants with a PhD in environmental sciences, biology, oceanography, physics, or related disciplines are particularly encouraged to apply.
The department of Ecosystem Modelling at the Institute for Coastal Research hosts an interdisciplinary and highly motivated group of research scientists (www.hzg.de/ecomod). The group is involved in various national and international projects and is internationally leading in the development of both modular and trait-based models.
For further details, please contact: Prof. Dr. Kai Wirtz, kai.wirtz@hzg.de, Fon: +49-4152-87-1513.
We offer an appropriate salary related to the German public tariff (TV-AVH) plus the usual social benefits for the public employment sector. The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is an equal opportunity employer for women, minorities, and people with disabilities, and strives to increase the percentage of women in the science sector. Severely disabled persons with equal qualifications will be considered preferentially.
Please send your application indicating job offer code no. 2014/KS 3 to our human resources personal@hzg.de. Please include your CV, a brief statement of research interests and contact details of two referees
