Academic Researcher in Arctic Plankton
1 week ago
We are seeking an exceptional researcher to fill the position of Academic Researcher in Arctic Plankton. As part of our team, you will be responsible for investigating the functional diversity of phyto- and zooplankton as a function of sea ice conditions and freshwater distributions in the Arctic. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the understanding of the interaction between the physical environment and the base of the food web at the Davis Strait and West Greenland.
About the Job
This PhD scholarship in Arctic plankton is offered in collaboration with the Greenland Climate Research Centre (GCRC) in Nuuk. The research project aims to bridge the knowledge gap between melting sea ice, plankton community structure, food-web productivity, and carbon export. You will be working closely with international partners to link activities at both sites and contribute to the Davis Strait Observatory.
Your Responsibilities
- Analyze existing data and/or lead new data collection to investigate the functional diversity of phyto- and zooplankton as a function of sea ice conditions and freshwater distributions in the Arctic.
- Experimentally investigate the environmental tolerances of Arctic copepods, with a focus on under-studied small species.
- Investigate the changes in primary production and food web efficiency in relation to freshwater distribution in the Davis Strait.
- Develop a technical aspect covering either improved high throughput quantification and characterization of plankton samples or assessment and synthesis of data collected using models to inform on the changes in productivity and food-web efficiency due to changes in stratification.
Requirements
- A two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree within natural sciences.
- Experience in field or laboratory work within biological oceanography (preferably plankton).
- Modelling and/or technical skills are an advantage.
Working Environment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union. The period of employment is 3 years.
