Bremerhaven, Deutschland Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung Vollzeit

The Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) is a member of the Helmholtz Association (HGF) and funded by federal and state government. AWI focuses on polar and marine research in a variety of disciplines such as biology, oceanography, geology, geochemistry and geophysics thus allowing multidisciplinary approaches to scientific goals.
- 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,
- 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

**Further Information**

This is a full-time position, limited to 32 months. 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**.**
