Post-doc position
Closing date: 11 March 2024
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Research Associate to join the School of Environmental Sciences to conduct studies on Marine Biogeochemistry.
We are looking for a Senior Research Associate (SRA) in biological carbon pump research to work on a project investigating the role of coccolithophores in marine carbon cycling and how this might change in a warmer ocean. The post is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) as part of its BIO-carbon program, which aims to better understand carbon cycling and the biological carbon pump in the North Atlantic. The project is looking specifically at Challenge 1 of BIO-carbon, and how the respiration of coccolithophores and bacteria influence carbon cycling and air-sea fluxes of carbon dioxide.
You will be responsible for at-sea measurements of the respiration of different size classes of the plankton using standard and novel techniques. You will be expected to participate in a field campaign planned for May-June 2024 onboard one of NERCs state-of-the-art research ships. During the field campaign and on return to the laboratory, you will be responsible for working with the wider BIO-carbon team and close collaborators to process samples and analyse the data.
