Postdoctoral Researcher Positions in Coastal Marine Science

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciencies invites applications for two postdoctoral resesarcher positions in coastal marine science to join CoastClim , the Centre for Coastal Ecosystem and Climate Change Research. The postdoctoral researchers will be based at Tvärminne Zoological Station and work closely with a PhD collegium consisting of five new doctoral researchers (see more information about the doctoral positions on University of Helsinki open positions page ). A central CoastClim hypothesis is that healthy and degraded ecosystems differ in how biodiversity regulates carbon production, storage, transformation and release. Yet the ecological mechanisms behind these differences remain poorly understood. About CoastClim and the research environment . CoastClim is a strategic collaboration between the University of Helsinki and Stockholm University. CoastClim investigates how biodiversity and ecosystem state influence coastal carbon cycling, greenhouse gases (GHGs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and climate feedbacks. The programme combines marine ecology, biogeochemistry and atmospheric science, with Tvärminne Zoological Station as a principal field and experimental hub. Tvärminne Zoological Station, part of the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Helsinki, provides access to diverse coastal habitats, research vessels, scientific d
