德国亥姆霍兹-吉斯萨赫特材料和海岸研究中心-海岸研究所研究科学家职位
Research Scientist (m/f/d) in the area of submesoscale dynamics
Institute of Coastal Research, Helmholtz-ZentrumGeesthacht Centre for Materials and Coastal Research
We are looking for a qualified and motivated scientist to identify key processes, propose their adequate sampling as well as help to implement and evaluate high-resolution, physical-biogeochemical model simulations in coastal and shelf regions.
We invite applications for a Research Scientist position (m/f/d) in the research group Submesoscale Dynamics at the Institute of Coastal Research. The position is initially limited to three years.
Your tasks
• scientific analysis of high-resolution observations and models of submesoscale processes with special emphasis on horizontal and vertical mixing processes, and their impact on physical-biological interactions
• design and implementation of coastal and shelf model simulations (e.g. ROMS)
• implementation of artificial intelligence algorithms into large/multi-disciplinary datasets
• data assimilation of biogeochemical variables into earth system models
• implementation and testing of parameterisations in coarse-resolution ocean circulation models
• planning of and participation in international research expeditions
• scientific publications and presentations
• working as an integral part of a motivated multidisciplinary team within the institute and with external academic partners
Your profile
Essential qualifications:
• a doctoral degree in physical oceanography, engineering, or related discipline
• at least 2 years of post-doctoral experience
• research experience on physical-biological interactions at meso- and submesoscales
• excellent academic publication record
• knowledge of processing and interpretation of observations and model output
• good communication skills in English
• high degree of creativity and flexibility
Desirable qualifications:
• knowledge of Linux/Unix operating systems
• familiarity with regional numerical models and high-performance computing platforms
• experience with multi-disciplinary and high-resolution in situ or remote sensing observations
• good programming skills in Matlab, Python, R or Julia
• knowledge of handling NetCDF and GRIB data sets
• willingness to participate in research cruises and travel
• desire to acquire solid communication skills in German
