The Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (BCCR) / Geophysical Institute
in Bergen, Norway, invites applications for a PhD research fellowship in
marine biogeochemistry and modeling.
Applications for the PhD program are invited from candidates with
experience in biological and biogeochemical responses to climate change,
in particular the arctic and subarctic oceans. The project will
investigate the coupling between ocean dynamics, ocean chemistry, and
pelagic marine ecosystems using experimental and observational data and
ocean models. The work will be preformed in close collaboration with the
Norwegian Research Council project Marine Ecosystem Response to a
Changing Climate (MERCLIM) coordinated by the Bjerknes Centre of Climate
Research and the EU FP7 projects European Project on Ocean Acidification
(EPOCA) and Marine Ecosystem Evolution in a Changing Environment
