- PostDoc in "The development of a Methane Module for the Marine Environment of the German Bight" (M/F/d)

**Background**

This work is part of the research project “Effect of Anthropogenic Modifications and Climate Change on Greenhouse Gas Emissions Along the River-Ocean Continuum” (AGRIO). The project investigates the transformation of organic matter into the greenhouse gases (GHG) carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane. Field observations and numerical models of the Elbe-North Sea system will be used to understand the GHG dynamics in the area.

For our interdisciplinary and inter-institutional AGRIO team at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), Helmholtz Zentrum für Polar
1 PhD (UFZ, 36 months, 65%) in aquatic biogeochemistry
1 PostDoc (Hereon, 36 months, 100%) in greenhouse gas observation
1 PostDoc (Hereon, 36 months, 100%) in biogeochemical modeling
1 PostDoc (AWI, 24 months, 100%) in hydrodynamic-methane modeling (this position)

**Your Tasks**
- **Analysis of Existing GHG Data**: Collect and analyze existing data related to GHG dynamics and pathways in the German Bight, identifying key patterns and gaps.
- ** Hydrodynamic Simulations**: Run and validate hydrodynamic simulations for the German Bight using the FESOM-C model, ensuring accurate representation of physical processes.
- ** Development of Methane Module**: Elaborate and verify a methane module specifically for the German Bight, integrating it with the FESOM-C model to simulate methane dynamics accurately.
- ** Impact Assessment**: Assess the impact of anthropogenic activities and climate change on GHG fate in the German Bight, using the validated model.
- ** Strategy Development**: Develop strategies for mitigating GHG emissions based on model simulations and data analysis, aiming to balance ecological conservation with human development.
- ** Documentation and Reporting**: Document all processes, methodologies, and findings, preparing detailed reports and publications to disseminate results to the scientific community.

**Your Profile**
- PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Oceanography, Physics or related fields
- Strong background in coastal ocean modelling and data analysis
- Open to interact with ecologists and field researchers measuring the GHGs
- Good English knowledge (B2)
- Strong motivation

**Preferred Qualifications and skills**
- Deep knowledge in numerical instruments applied in coastal ocean models and high-level programming skills

**Further Information**

This is a full-time position, limited to 2 years. It is also suitable for part-time employment. The salary will be paid in accordance with the Collective Agreement for the Public Service of the Federation (Tarifvertrag des öffentlichen Dienstes, TVöD Bund), up to salary level **13.** The place of employment will be **Bremerhaven**.**
