Deadline: 31 August 2017!
Job description
STEMM-CCS (http://www.stemm-ccs.eu/) is a multi-disciplinary EU-funded project concerned with Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS). CCS has been identified as an important mitigation strategy to reduce anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and thereby combat the rising levels of atmospheric CO2 responsible for global climate change and ocean acidification.
The task of the advertised position is to assist in the development of monitoring strategies of CO2 seepage from seafloor using benthic lander measurements in combination with water column observations (e.g. geochemistry, current regimes). Results will be used to help define baseline scenarios for best practice methodologies and tools for baseline environmental monitoring relevant to offshore CCS. Spatial and temporal variability at all relevant scales with respect to physical, chemical and biological parameters will be determined.
Qualifications
The applicant requires a MSc degree and a PhD degree preferably in marine biogeochemistry. Ideally, the applicant should be experienced in the marine carbonate system dynamics and dissolved gases, hydrodynamics and its effects on solute distributions. Knowledge of Matlab or Mathematica or similar programming language is desirable. Excellent written and oral communications skills in English are essential. We expect the candidate participate in research expeditions at sea.
The position is available for a funding period until February 29th 2020 (end of project).
The salary depends on qualification and could be up to the class E13 TVöD-Bund of the German tariff for public employees.
This is a full-time position. The position cannot be split, flexible planning of working hours is possible.
