Senior Researcher in Marine Biogeochemistry

Aarhus University

Description

Is your research focus on marine ecosystems? Do you have a strong academic profile and an interest in providing consultancy to authorities on the management of marine ecosystems in a senior researcher position at Aarhus University Campus Roskilde? The position is available as soon as possible.

Your tasks

The successful candidate will be responsible for strengthening the Department's profile in research and consultancy to authorities on marine ecosystems and biogeochemistry and the pressure on these from anthropogenic activities and climate changes. You will be a part of the marine group that covers research, consultancy tasks and some teaching across the marine environment mainly related to Danish and Arctic waters.

Your research must support the Department's leading role in providing consultancy to the Danish authorities on environmental issues, which includes dissemination of research results to managers, politicians and other stakeholders. At the same time, the research must strengthen the Department's international profile within the topics of ecology, biogeochemistry, ecosystem function and ecological status of marine ecosystems. We expect you to take a leading role in the implementation of new research projects of relevance to the implementation of the European Water Framework Directive and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and transform research results into consultancy on ecological/environmental status assessment, nutrient reduction targets, mitigation measures, best management practice etc.

The Department's research and consultancy activities are project-driven with a solid tradition of cross-disciplinary research and strong team collaboration. Thus, we are looking for a candidate with proven collaborative skills and the ability to enrich the scientific environment in the Department by initiating and coordinating new research initiatives (e.g. EU Horizon Europe, ERC, Danish national funding) and by strengthening the Department's scientific network both nationally and internationally.

Your profile

We expect you to have a strong scientific background in marine ecology, biological oceanography, biogeochemistry or the like and an extensive international network within marine science. You should have a relevant Ph.D. and an international research profile within one or more of the following key topics:

Eutrophication and nutrient cycling in marine environments

Developing and applying state–of-the-art monitoring and modelling techniques in the marine environment

Marine large-scale environmental assessment

Relations between human pressures and key marine ecosystem components, including effects of climate change

Indicators of ecological/environmental status

The candidate should be able to demonstrate excellent scientific leadership and have experience in supervising postdocs, Ph.D. students and/or M.Sc. students. We expect that you have a documented track record of attracting research funding and experience with consultancy activities.

We expect that you are fluent in spoken and written English and ideally in one additional European language, preferably Danish. It is important to us that you are a team player and have strong inter-personal skills and international experience. You will be expected to learn spoken and written Danish within the first two to three years. Relevant courses will be offered.

The Department

The Department of Bioscience is engaged in research programmes, teaching curricula and consultancy covering all major biological sub-disciplines, and we conduct world-class research in the areas of aquatic biology and ecology, Arctic environment and ecosystems, biodiversity and conservation biology. The Department currently employs approximately 250 academic and technical staff. The Department has a unique research environment at top international level in the field of aquatic biology and ecology. Our competencies cover a wide spectrum, from the biology of organisms to modelling water and nutrient cycles from land to sea. Research focus areas include human impact on species, the environment and the global nutrient cycle, the effects of global climate change on biological, chemical and physical processes in and around the aquatic environment, assessment of water quality and ecological status and studies on the effects of measures that can be used to manage and reduce the loss of carbon, nutrients and pollutants to the aquatic environment. The activities take place at a national and international level with main activities in Denmark and Northern Europe, including the Arctic.

The Department plays a leading role in providing consultancy to the Danish authorities on environmental issues, including implementation and assessment of EU marine directives. We are also deeply involved in the national marine monitoring programme (NOVANA) and engaged in the management of the large national environmental databases.
