Postdoc: Marine Ecosystem Modelling & Carbon Cycling

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON; Southampton; In loco; GBP 34.000 - 42.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

University of Southampton invites applications for a full-time, 20-month fixed-term postdoctoral researcher position to investigate how phytoplankton physiology influences ocean carbon cycling. The successful candidate will join a UK-US project based at the University of Southampton, collaborating with MIT researchers to implement and evaluate physiological sub-models in the MITgcm-Darwin ocean model.

The role requires strong quantitative and programming skills, with a background in marine
