Doctoral Researcher Positions
We are seeking highly motivated and qualified doctoral researchers to join our team at the Cluster of Excellence. Our research focuses on understanding exchange processes at the ocean floor and their role in the Earth system.
About the Project
The Cluster of Excellence is a joint project between the Universities of Bremen and Oldenburg, along with five partner institutions. Our goal is to investigate how ecosystems on the ocean floor react to environmental changes and develop scenarios for a warmer world from climate archives.
Job Description
We are looking for talented individuals to contribute to our projects, which include deciphering biogenic particle transport under changing climate conditions, balancing carbon and element transfers between the ocean floor and seawater, and investigating ecosystem responses to environmental changes.
