Job description:
PostDoc in Marine Biogeochemistry for the project "KomSo" (f/m/d)

Background
KomSo is a collaborative project of the marine research institutes AWI, GEOMAR, Hereon an IOW, as well as the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) and the NGO German Federation for the Environment and Nature Conservation (BUND). The overarching goal is to record and evaluate the carbon storage potential of marine sediments in the German Baltic Sea and identify regions worthy of protection and suitable for restoration. Specifically, we seek to combine measurements of sedimentary organic carbon content and remineralization rates with sedimentation rate measurements and the spatial distributions of controlling environmental parameters in order to:

quantify the sedimentary organic carbon (OC) content for Baltic Sea sediments,
assess their OC accumulation rate and OC storage capacity,
parameterize OC sedimentation and remineralization and extrapolate rates in the Baltic Sea.

Your Tasks
You will be responsible for:

the planning and conduct of ship-based sampling campaigns,
the measurement and analysis OC content and improvement of measurement accuracy by conducting an intercalibration of methods between project partners,
determining sedimentation rates using isotope geochemistry (210Pb and 137Cs),
collecting and merging existing data sets of OC accumulation and controlling parameters,
applying diagenetic models and conducting a meta-analysis with Baltic Sea boundary conditions, and
presenting results in scientific journals and to non-experts in a comprehensible form

Your Profile

PhD in geoscience, bioscience, or environmental sciences
Expertise in organic carbon mineralization processes
Expertise in sediment transport and depositional processes in coastal waters
Experience in carbon analytics and isotope geochemistry
Experience in data-based inverse modeling
Willingness and capability to participate in seagoing expeditions
