The Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar- and Marine Research (AWI) seeks
applications for a postdoctoral candidate and a PhD student to work on
their Analysis of Arctic Ocean Circulation Data program, which
contributes to their research program on sea ice - atmosphere - ocean -
ecosystem interactions.
The successful applicants will work in a team that combines observations
and numerical modeling to study Arctic Ocean changes. These positions
focus on the shallow arctic shelf seas in relation to polynyas,
shelf/basin exchange, and fresh-water distribution, as well as the
exchange of waters between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. For
both topics a comprehensive set of conventional and new technology data
is available and will be extended by ongoing observation programs.
For the postdoctoral position, AWI seeks applicants holding a PhD in
physical oceanography or related disciplines. Candidates must have an
excellent physical sciences background and experience with data
analysis. Experience from cruises and/or in numerical modeling is
desirable.
For the PhD position, candidates should have completed a Master's degree
or equivalent in physics, physical oceanography, or meteorology. A deep
interest in understanding the high latitude climate system is also
necessary.
The candidates must be willing to participate in scientific cruises in
the Arctic. The positions are limited to three years and will be located
at the AWI site in Bremerhaven, Germany.
The "Sea Ice - Atmosphere - Ocean - Ecosystem Interactions" program is
sponsored by the Helmholtz Association. A PDF containing more
