The Sedimentology and Marine Paleoenvironmental Dynamics Group within the Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Heidelberg, Germany, invites applications for a PostDoc position in Chemical Oceanography.
The appointment is for two years with salary and social security benefits according to a German civil service position (E 13, 100 %).
The closing date for applications is May 15, 2024. Potential starting date is July 1, 2024 or later.
The position will be based in Heidelberg, but significant parts of the work will be performed in the laboratories at GEOMAR Kiel and NIOZ (Texel) during this postdoctoral project.

Description
During a 65-day expedition from November 2023 until February 2024 RV Polarstern visited the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean and East Antarctica, sampling the water column for its lead concentration and isotopic composition (cruise EASI-2 / PS140). A total of 300 seawater samples of all major water masses in this part of the Southern Ocean could be sampled.
The scientific goal of this two-year postdoctoral project is the quantification of anthropogenic lead input into the remote Southern Ocean from these unique samples.
They aim to explore how lead of anthropogenic origin enters Antarctic waters, because anthropogenic lead can be easily distinguished from naturally introduced lead by higher concentrations and a clearly distinguishable isotopic composition. Since the classic physical-oceanographic water parameters have also been measured during the cruise, they can make clear statements as to where the dissolved lead in each examined body of water is derived from. As an overall goal they not only expect to resolve the input behaviour of anthropogenic Pb into Antarctic waters but also to obtain key information on regional scale water mass mixing processes in the Indian Ocean.
The project is funded by the DFG Priority Program Antarctic Research (SPP1158) and is a cooperation between the University of Heidelberg (Dr. Jörg Lippold), the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel (Dr. Marcus Gutjahr) and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) (Prof. Rob Middag). The position will be based in Heidelberg, but significant parts of the work will be performed in the laboratories at GEOMAR Kiel and NIOZ (Texel) during this postdoctoral project. Results of this project are expected to be published in peer-reviewed international journals and presented at national and international meetings and conferences.

Postdoctoral investigator - Woods Hole, USA
08 February 2024 - 10:19
Woods Hole,
United States

Logistics
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is currently searching for a Postdoctoral Investigator to join the Marine Chemistry & Geochemistry Department. This is a regular, full-time, exempt position, and is eligible for full benefits. This position is full-time for an 18-month period. The candidate would ideally start by mid-to-late 2024.
Description
WHOI are seeking a Postdoctoral Investigator to join an interdisciplinary project to study past and future changes in ocean heat content and inert gas tracers of global ocean temperature and air-sea gas exchange. The primary objectives of the project are to (i) improve understanding of the physical mechanisms of air-sea disequilibrium in the global ocean as a step towards (ii) refining quantitative estimates of changes in ocean heat content recorded by inert gas tracers in the atmosphere (e.g., preserved in ice core air bubbles).
Tasks
The Postdoctoral Investigator will join a team of scientists at WHOI and Oxford to carry out tracer-enabled climate model simulations of past, present, and future ocean configurations. While there are specific goals of the project, the overall scope is broad, and the Postdoctoral Investigator will have freedom to independently design and carry out additional experiments.
The institution has a top-rated postdoctoral program (www.whoi.edu/postdoctoral/) that supports a dynamic postdoctoral community with formal mentoring and career guidance programs. While the primary focus of the work will be in research, the Postdoctoral Investigator will have the opportunity to participate in educational and outreach activities associated with the project.
The Postdoctoral Investigator will serve as the lead conducting numerical model experiments of inert gas tracers and heat content in the global ocean. They will be expected to contribute to experiment development, data analysis, visualization, writing of manuscripts, and presentation of results at scientific meetings. The project is collaborative, and the ideal candidate should have experience and interest in working on a team.

Requirements
As deemed necessary by supervisor
Education & Experience
A PhD, in Earth Science, Climate Science, Chemistry, Physics, or Oceanography, is required. Experience with geochemical tracers, quantitative data analysis and visualization skills, and numerical modeling is preferred, but there is flexibility; please do not hesitate to reach out if you would like to discuss how your background may fit with the goals of the project.
It is expected that the applicant will have experience with and interest in paleoclimatology, geochemical tracers, oceanography, and (ideally) numerical modeling. However, the qualifications of the job are flexible, and we encourage all interested applicants to reach out even if your background does not include all the topics listed above.
Special Requirements
None
Physical Requirements
This project will primarily be office based, and therefore no special physical requirements are anticipated. Must have audio and visual ability, and manual dexterity to function alone and in a group, as well as at a computer.
Sea Duty
