募集の背景、プロジェクトの説明
WPI-AIMEC aims to elucidate the response and adaptation of marine ecosystems to global environmental change and to enhance future
projections of marine ecosystem dynamics. In this call for applications, we seek a NEXUS Postdoctoral Fellow who will conduct research
to provide new insights into the coupling of ocean circulation, marine biogeochemistry and ecosystems under climate change. We are
soliciting applications for 1 position of NEXUS Postdoctoral Researcher in WPI-AIMEC
仕事内容・職務内容
[Research Description]
(Immediately upon employment)
Applications are welcome for a postdoctoral position at AIMEC-Tohoku University to investigate the impact of climate change on marine
ecosystems. The project will be focused on investigating the interactions between ocean circulation and biogeochemical cycling in
modulating marine ecosystem responses to global warming. The work will provide an opportunity to develop model simulations, contribute
to both domestic collaborations in modeling within Japan as well as internationally. Interested candidates should directly contact project co
leaders Keith Rodgers (keith.rodgers.b2@tohoku.ac.jp) and Justin Penn (jpenn@tohoku.ac.jp) for any questions related to the the project.
