There is a Research Fellowship Opportunity in the Directorate of EO Programmes of the European Space Agency (ESA). The position is located at ESRI in Frascati, Italy. As part of the team, the Fellow will report to the Head of the Science Section in the Applications Division within the Science, Applications and Climate Department of the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes. In executing your assigned tasks, the candidate will work in close cooperation with other staff of the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes. The Applications Division is a dynamic R&D team leading research and development activities in partnership with European and international industry and academia, with the aim of advancing science, developing novel applications, supporting the growth of industry and contributing to establishing a European ecosystem of exploitation platforms to maximise the impact of European missions in society. Applicants should have recently completed, or be close to completing a PhD in a related technical or scientific discipline. Preference will be given to applications submitted by candidates within five years of receiving their PhD. In particular for this position, the following is required: PhD or equivalent qualification in Space Oceanography with research experience and peer-reviewed publications in relevant topics for the fields of research proposed.

Among other things, the research will undertake activities focused, in particular, on advancing our capacity to better assess, monitor and predict the complex and poorly-understood processes driving Ocean Health status and changes needed to fulfil the requirements to develop a fit-for-purpose Digital Twin of the Ocean. This includes enhancing our understanding of ocean biology, biogeochemistry and ecosystems, ocean physics-biology interactions, ocean-land-atmosphere interactions and coastal processes.

The closing date for applications is 12 March 2021. For more information on this position and how to apply, please see this website: https://career2.successfactors.eu/career?career_ns=job_listing&company=esa&career_job_req_id=11982 

The International Max Planck Research School on Earth System Modelling offers a 3-year PhD position in Oceanography to work on a project entitled "A novel machine learning reconstruction of the air-sea CO₂ flux over the entire global ocean."  The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Peter Landschützer to build on the 2-step SOM-FFN machine learning method that has been successfully applied to reconstruct the open ocean carbon sink from surface ocean observations and include the coastal ocean as well as marginal seas to reconstruct the global ocean to close current research gaps. The project aims to investigate the inter-annual through decadal variations and its drivers over the past 40 years as well as a quantification of its uncertainty and provide annual flux updates to the Global Carbon Budget. Furthermore, the successful candidate will investigate the differences in time and space between the CO₂ fluxes at the sea surface and changes in the ocean interior carbon distribution.

Application deadline: 15 March 2021. Follow this link to get more details on the application requirements and to submit your application: https://mpimet.mpg.de/en/science/imprs-esm/how-to-apply#c24411
