NORCE is seeking a senior scientist to run the competence building activities in the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) Ocean Thematic Centre (OTC). Permanent senior scientist position open to run the competence building activities for ICOS OTC. The ICOS OTC is a service facility responsible for coordinating the ocean stations in ICOS. For details about the OTC and their work see https://www.icos-otc.org/

The main responsibility is to facilitate that the network of station PIs and technical staff in ICOS Oceans have access to up-to-date information and training on instrumentation and sensors used by ICOS. This happens through organizing annual training events and workshops, as well as liaising with sensor manufacturers and the technology development activities in ICOS OTC. Part of the responsibility as head of the competence building activities is to have the required overview to make sure that this network has access to necessary training, and is able to pool and share resources and know-how within the network.

The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher interested in chemical oceanography/ocean biogeochemistry to work with Prof. Seth Bushinsky at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and join the recently funded SOCCOM₃ project. They are joining the Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) project in its 3rd iteration of funding. This multi-institutional program has been deploying biogeochemical Argo floats in the Southern Ocean since 2014 and pairing those novel measurements with state estimate and climate model work.

The group will be investigating a range of topics revolving around the Southern Ocean carbon, oxygen, and nutrient budgets (air-sea gas exchange fluxes, transport, export fluxes). The project will involve the use of biogeochemical profiling float data, satellite observations, and ocean state estimate output. The new postdoc would be joining a group of graduate students, postdocs, and undergraduate students studying biogeochemistry throughout the ocean.

Desired qualifications: PhD in Chemical or Physical Oceanography. Experience working with large observational datasets and model output is preferred. This is up to a 3-year position, subject to annual reviews of continued satisfactory performance. Salary starting at ~$74,000 per year, plus benefits.

Applications must be submitted through RCUH, with initial review starting Jan. 3, 2025. Please contact Prof. Seth Bushinsky with any questions: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher interested in chemical oceanography/ocean biogeochemistry to work with Prof. Seth Bushinsky at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and join the recently funded InMOS project. InMOS (Integrating Models and Observations across Scales) is a new multi-institution, 5-year project that seeks to improve our understanding of the oceanic budgets of carbon, heat, and oxygen by combining observations, biogeochemical models, and machine learning. This is part of the larger Ocean Biogeochemical Virtual Institute funded by Schmidt Sciences.

The group will lead the observational-analysis side of this project, developing global datasets to integrate with models and analyzing these data to understand long-term changes to ocean oxygen and carbon. The project will involve the use of biogeochemical profiling float data, mooring data, satellite observations, and model output, among other data types. The new postdoc would be joining a group of graduate students, postdocs, and undergraduate students studying biogeochemistry throughout the ocean.

Desired qualifications: PhD in Chemical or Physical Oceanography. Experience working with large observational datasets and model output is preferred. This is up to a 4.5-year position, subject to annual reviews of continued satisfactory performance. Salary starting at ~$74,000 per year, plus benefits.

Applications must be submitted through RCUH, to be open in the next few weeks. In the meantime, please contact Prof. Seth Bushinsky if interested or with any questions: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The National Oceanography Centre (University of Southampton) is seeking a candidate for PhD project "Keeping up with Ocean Change: Using Robots to Push the Envelope in Ocean Carbon Observing". This project offers a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge ocean robotics to advance our understanding of carbon cycling in the ocean.

Working with engineers and scientists from the Ocean Technology and Engineering group, the successful PhD candidate will lead the optimization of novel autonomous sensor and sampler technologies (e.g. through laboratory tests and field trials, integrated on autonomous platforms such as the Autosub Long Range and gliders and profiling floats. The successful candidate will evaluate these technologies and develop new autonomous observing strategies during planned and funded sea trials to the North and mid-latitude Atlantic Ocean, Southern Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. The candidate will collaborate with the wider European ocean carbon observing community and observing technology developers through project GEORGE and TRICUSO (starting January 2025) collecting data which will improve our understanding of ocean acidification and carbon dynamics. The primary objective of this project will be to test the hypothesis that novel observing technologies can generate data of the quality required for ocean carbon sink estimates and air-sea CO2 fluxes, considering measurement uncertainty and contrasting against traditional ship-based observations.
