Tracer Oceanography
Kiel, Germany
The Academy Mainz seeks applicants for a postdoctoral position in tracer
oceanography. The position is funded for 35 months and is located at the
GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel, Germany.
This position is part of a bilateral initiative on the Arctic between
Germany and Russia and will work within the cooperative project entitled
"The Transpolar System of the Arctic Ocean." The purpose of the position

processes on the hydrology of the Laptev Sea shelf and the Fram Strait
area based on the stable oxygen isotope composition of seawater. The
successful candidate will conduct water sampling within a team of German
and Russian partners and will evaluate the isotope analyses. This
includes a water mass analysis and isotope data and the calculation of
water mass budgets. A close cooperation on neodymium isotopes and
oceanographic and atmospheric data obtained by other partners within the
project will be required.
Application deadline: Thursday, 28 February 2013.
