The Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Uppsala in Sweden is offering a 2-year, full-time postdoctoral research position to work on a project to investigate the air-water exchange of energy, water vapor and carbon (mainly carbon dioxide but also methane) and the processes influencing this exchange in marine and inland water environments. There is presently knowledge lacking on these processes and the methods to introduce them into climate models. This is primarily a research position. Teaching will be included to a maximum of 10% of full time. Salary will be negotiated individually. Starting date is as soon as possible, upon agreement.

Please submit your application by 4 May 2018, reference code: UFV-PA 2018/495.

There is a vacancy for a postdoctoral research fellow position at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen within the field of biogeochemical prediction modelling. The position is for a fixed term of 3 years and 2 months and is associated with the research project the Nansen Legacy - the Norwegian Arctic research community's joint effort to establish a holistic understanding of a changing marine Arctic climate and ecosystem. For this specific position, the research will revolve around development and interpretation of decadal scale biogeochemical predictions focusing on the Barents Sea. These will be based on the Norwegian Climate Prediction Model (NorCPM), which is currently used for decadal predictions of the physical climate system.

Deadline for applications: 4 May 2018.

The University of Delaware (UD) College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position in chemical oceanography and metrology. The successful candidate will work on a NOAA funded project to aid in development of a reference material for ocean pH by establishing traceability of pH indicator dyes to the International System of Units (SI). The scholar will make use of state-of-the-art analytical and experimental facilities at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Candidates must have a PhD in either chemical oceanography, analytical chemistry, or a closely related field. Demonstrated skills with spectrophotometry, potentiometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and/or physical chemistry are preferred. The position will be located at the NIST facility in Gaithersburg, MD, but the appointment will be made through the University of Delaware. The postdoc will also attend field test cruises with the UD group. The appointment will be for one year, with continuation pending funding and progress. A summary of the project can be found HERE. 

Please contact Wei-Jun Cai (wcai[at]udel.edu) and Regina Easley (regina.easley[at]nist.gov) for additional information.

A 2-year post doc position is available at the Modelling for Aquatic Systems research group (MAST) of the University of Liège (ULiege) (Belgium). MAST is devoted to the development of ocean numerical models for understanding, forecasting and managing the ocean. The position is offered in the frame of the European Union Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS). The employment contract will start as soon as possible and be of fixed duration (2 years with eventually one additional year and beyond in fundings permit).

Applications will be considered until the position is filled.

The School of Oceanography at the University of Washington seeks a full-time research scientist engineer to operate and manage an isotope ratio mass spectrometry facility under the direction of Professors Paul Quay and Gordon Holtgrieve. Typical projects include carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen isotope analysis of dissolved inorganic carbon, dissolved gases (CO₂, O₂, Ar), particulate organic matter, and compound-specific analysis of lipids and amino acids using both dual inlet and continuous flow methods. The University of Washington is part of a thriving research community in the cosmopolitan city of Seattle, which is set between the majestic Cascades and Puget Sound.

The position will remain open until filled.
