GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel is a foundation under public law jointly financed by the Federal Republic of Germany (90%) and the State of Schleswig-Holstein (10%). It is one of the internationally leading institutions in the field of marine research.

Through our research and our commitment to the transfer of knowledge and technology, we contribute significantly to the preservation of the function and protection of the ocean for future generations. The collaborative project Humboldt Tipping is a joint project between GEOMAR and several other German research institutes and universities, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Science (BMBF), to better understand the potential impacts of climate change on the Northern Humboldt Current System which is the eastern boundary upwelling system with the largest fish production in the world.

The research unit Marine Biogeochemical Modelling of the research division 2 is offering a

Research assistant position (m/f/d)

in marine biogeochemical and climate change modelling (HTP2)

starting on June 1st 2024.

Job Description

This position is devoted to understanding climate change impacts on the upwelling ecosystem of the Northern Humboldt Current System, from the planktonic community to fish, using an Earth system model.
The main tasks will be to implement a nested grid that resolves ocean mesoscale phenomena in the Northern Humboldt Current System in the Earth system model FOCI, to run and analyse climate change simulations using the model.
Based on these simulations the potential climate change impact on fish will be evaluated using the ecosystem model OSMOSE.

Qualification

Applicants must hold a Master or PhD in marine or climate sciences, or related field
Excellent communication (spoken and written) skills in English
Experience working with global or regional ocean or climate models
A strong background in analysis of large data and visualisation using MATLAB, Python, Ferret, R or equivalent and exposure to the programming language Fortran is mandatory
Experience working with the climate model FOCI, marine biogeochemical modelling, and expertise in the Humboldt Current System is advantageous
