A data scientist position is available for 4 years within the EU project FACE-IT (The future of Arctic coastal ecosystems - Identifying transitions in fjord systems and adjacent coastal areas; https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/869154). The aim is to enable adaptive co-management of social-ecological fjord systems in the Arctic in the face of rapid cryosphere and biodiversity changes. The project will identify ways to manage the impacts of climate change on the cryosphere and marine biodiversity, and the interaction with other drivers of change. The data scientist will work within the group Chemistry, Ocean and Climate at the Laboratoire d’Océanographie de Villefranche (LOV http://lov.obs-vlfr.fr), located in Villefranche-sur-Mer (Southern France), and placed under the responsibility of Jean-Pierre Gattuso (CNRS Senior Scientist).

The main goal of the first doctoral dissertation will be to characterize the marine CO₂ system variability in regions affected by the release of organic matter from thawing permafrost. Particular attention will be paid to quantifying the influence of organic acids and organic matter remineralization on seawater pH and the air/sea CO₂ exchange. Field studies will be conducted in Spitsbergen fjords, while the analytical part in the laboratories of IOPAN in Sopot. Details of the second position can be found in the attached announcement. The main goal of the second doctoral dissertation will be to characterize bioavailability (lability) of the organic matter released from permafrost and to assess its acid-base properties. Field studies will be conducted in Spitsbergen and Greenland, while the analytical part in the laboratories of IOPAN in Sopot.
