vor 1 Tag
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.
- Helmholtz Investigator Group Leader (M/F/d)
**Background**
As an internationally renowned Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research, the **Alfred Wegener Institute** (AWI) is one of the very few scientific institutions in the world that are equally active in the Arctic and Antarctic. It coordinates German polar research efforts, while also conducting research in the North Sea and adjacent coastal regions in Germany. Combining outstanding research infrastructure, cutting edge field work, and innovative modelling approaches the Alfred Wegener Institute explores nearly all aspects of the Earth system and its biodiversity - from the atmosphere to the ocean floor, from land and coasts to the ice-covered seas.
**Call for Expression of Interest**
**Eligibility**
**1) Marine polar climate reconstruction from microfossils - mass spectrometry-based element and isotopic analytics on foraminifera**
The HIG shall conduct research in the field of marine polar climate reconstructions with the help of calcareous microfossils as carriers of proxy information on past ocean and climate conditions. The aim is to reconstruct ocean-atmosphere-cryosphere interactions, quantify their effects on atmospheric CO2 levels and decipher the high-latitude oceans’ role in the global carbon cycle. The physical and biogeochemical processes in the ocean from surface to depth are essential to understand these interactions. Key parameters in this complex system comprise oceanic pH, carbonate ion chemistry, as well as heat exchange and stratification driven by temperature and salinity. These variables shall be assessed through a combination of isotopic and elemental proxy analyses (δ18O, Mg/Ca, B/Ca, δ11B). Successful applicants should have expert knowledge in mass spectrometry-based analytics of foraminifera, scientific achievements in line with their career stage that provide evidence for future leadership in their discipline, high-quality publications, excellent scientific literacy and outstanding scientific vision.
**2) Polar** boundary layer processes**
The HIG conducts research in the field of measurements of polar boundary layer processes with a focus on turbulence and/or clouds. The project should target small-scale processes in high-latitude boundary layers in a way that contributes to answering big questions on the past, present and future of our climate system. Possible aims include understanding turbulent surface fluxes over polar land, sea-ice or oceans, stable boundary layers, cloud-turbulence interactions or understanding cloud feedbacks to Arctic and Antarctic warming and sea-ice retreat. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to use and further develop our unique observational tools, particularly the polar aircraft equipped with meteorological instrumentation The HIG would be part of AWI’s polar meteorology group, whose common ambition is to push the limits of our understanding of small-scale atmospheric processes to improve our knowledge and modelling capabilities of the climate system. The HIG contributes to research in the Section Atmospheric Physics of AWI. This opens particular opportunities for collaboration within the German DFG Collaborative project AC3 on Arctic amplification and/or the international Antarctic research initiative Antarctica InSync. The applicant should be a curious and creative researcher with experience in boundary-layer processes, ideally also in airborne observations and/or measurements of turbulence.
