The University of Bergen is seeking a candidate for a postdoctoral research fellow position within marine biogeochemical modelling at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. The position is associated with three Horizon Europe projects; OceanICU, SEAClim, and TipESM, funded by the European Union.

OceanICU will further increase our knowledge on the role of the ocean in the global carbon cycle, focusing on the functioning of the biological carbon pump, with the aim to develop practical management tools. SEAClim will provide detailed predictions and projections of decadal-to-multidecadal changes in marine environments focusing on the North Atlantic. TipESM will explore tipping points, their driving processes, and their impacts using the latest generation of Earth System Models.

For this position, they are looking for a candidate that will increase our understanding of multiyear-to-centennial changes in marine biogeochemistry related to climate change and the internal variability of the Earth System. The successful applicant will quantify the predictability of changes in marine biogeochemistry by analysing state-of-the art Climate Prediction Models. The candidate will further analyse adaptive emission scenarios to quantify safe mitigation pathways for selected tipping elements in the Earth System.

The candidate will be part of the Biogeochemistry Research Group at the Geophysical Institute, of the Carbon System Research Theme at the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. The candidate is expected to actively engage in research collaboration across SEAClim, OceanICU, and TipESM, and to be motivated to do research at an internationally competitive level.
