Carbon Job Announcements

  • Postdoctoral position in Independent Junior Research Group, Funded by the Emmy Noether Program of the German Science Foundation. Start date: April 1st, position open until filled. The working group “Ecosystem Dynamics” at the University Greifswald, Germany, is currently studying the carbon dynamics of boreal peatlands in Finland and Russia, as part of the CarboNorth Project of the European Commission (6th FP). The candidate will participate in the planning, establishment and maintenance of new study sites in logistically difficult regions in Russia. Field-work in remote areas of the Arctic and Subarctic, supervision of M.Sc. and Ph.D. students and publication of results in international peer-reviewed journals will be expected.

  • Post-doc Positions in Air-Sea CO2 Flux Measurements and Carbonate Seawater Chemistry, NUIG, Galway, Ireland. The Centre for Climate & Air Pollution (C-CAPS) Studies at the Environmental Change Institute (ECI) at NUIG, invite applications for two full-time positions at the Post-doc level. We are seeking motivated scientists to contribute to a research project on ocean acidification, funded by the Irish Marine Institute. The details of the positions are: CO2 fluxes: the successful candidate will be responsible for eddy  covariance and surface pCO2 measurements at the Mace Head Research Facility and the R/V Celtic Explorer and Carbonate seawater chemistry.

  • Postdoctoral position in carbon cycle modeling, the Canadian Carbon Program (CCP) is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to participate in a carbon modeling project. The incumbent will play a critical role in CCP to upscale tower flux measurements to the continental scale through (i) spatially explicit process-based modeling using remote sensing and other spatial inputs, or (ii) atmospheric inverse modeling using CO2 concentration measurements and a transport model. Existing expertise in one of these two areas would be a valuable asset, but candidates with strong mathematics and physics backgrounds from other disciplines are strongly encouraged to apply. The position is open immediately, and funds are available for two years. It is renewable for the third year depending on fund’s availability. The salary level is $40,000-45,000/y depending on experience.
