Scope of workfull-time position suitable for part-time
Responsibilities:
Duties include academic services in the project named above. Research associates may also pursue independent research and further academic qualifications.

The project part at Universität Hamburg will have two main foci.

The first one will be to enhance the representation of ocean biogeochemical processes and carbon storage in the Hamburg Ocean Carbon Cycle Model (HAMOCC).

An advanced representation of the particle sinking scheme, dynamic riverine fluxes, and carbon isotopes in HAMOCC will be tested and calibrated in the coupled ICON ocean-atmosphere framework.

The second task will be to incorporate and test the CO2 tracer in the atmospheric component of ICON to enable interactive representation of air-sea and air-land CO2 fluxes and prognostic representation of CO2 concentration the in the atmosphere.

The incumbent will closely collaborate with the Terrestrial Biosphere Modelling group in the Biogeochemical Signals department of MPI-BGC in Jena, as well as with scientists at the DWD to develop a fully interactive carbon cycle for ICON and study carbon-cycle climate feedbacks in the 21st century.

- evaluate the HAMOCC model, extended by previously developed new processes, on decadal to centennial time scales in the coupled ICON ocean-atmosphere framework
- analyze ocean carbon storage and carbon-cycle climate feedbacks in simulations following the C4MIP protocol
- integrate and test the atmospheric CO2 tracer in the interactively coupled ICON Earth system model
- disseminating the results through publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at conferences

Funding is available for 3 years following an approval of a cost neutral extension.

Profile:

A university degree in a relevant field, plus doctorate.
- a PhD in oceanography, geoscience, environmental sciences, or a related field is required for this position
- compelling understanding of ocean biogeochemical dynamics, in particular regarding its role in Earth's climate
- experience with ocean carbon cycle models, skill in model development
- strong programming skills in Fortran, post-processing and visualization software (e.g., python, CDO), as well as experience in handling large data sets
- strong communication and organizational skills and an ability to effectively communicate results of scientific research to project members and international colleagues
