Ist das hilfreich?

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.

Your Profile

A completed PhD in marine biogeochemistry, oceanography, climate science, environmental physics, or a related discipline.
Strong background in numerical modeling, preferably with experience in marine biogeochemical or physical oceanographic models.
Proven expertise in data analysis (e.g., Python or similar).
Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary team.
