About the position

The role of the postdoc is to disentangle the mechanisms of biological carbon pump and its contributions to the global carbon cycle in the past, present and future scenario projections from Earth system models. Knowledge of observational data related to the biological carbon pump (BCP) will be applied to improve and validate model simulations to (i) minimize the discrepancies between measured and modelled historical ocean carbon sinks, (ii) elucidate key mechanisms driving BCP changes, and (iii) constrain the uncertainties in Earth system models projection of BCP across a wide range of scenarios, including but not limited to marine based carbon dioxide removal and extended stabilization scenarios that comply with the Paris Agreement climate targets. The successful applicant will collaborate closely with ocean physical and biogeochemical scientists at NORCE, Bjerknes Centre, as well as with OceanICU project partners. The work will utilize the in-house Norwegian Earth System model NorESM but also a suite of ESMs from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. In addition to contributing to project deliverables, the postdoc is expected to publish research results in high-level peer-reviewed scientific journals, and present results at relevant conferences, seminars, project meetings, or workshops.

Deadline: 10th September 2025

At the Geophysical Institute and the Bjerknes Center for Climate Research, there is a vacancy for a postdoctoral research fellow position in climate science. The position is for a fixed term of three years.

The position is open to either an incoming or an outgoing candidate; see LEAD AI mobility rules 

About the position of postdoctoral research fellow:

The postdoctoral position is a fixed term position with the primary objective of qualifying the appointee for work in top academic positions. The position may be extended by up to one year (maximum 4 years in total) if the appointee is granted externally financed research stays abroad. Individuals may not be hired for more than one fixed-term period as a postdoctoral research fellow at the same institution. 

For all LEAD AI fellows, a Personal Career Development Plan (PCDP) will be developed jointly by the fellow, supervisor, and co-supervisor by the end of Month 3 of the fellowship, including a plan for the individual research budget, and information on additional funding where applicable.

It is a requirement that the project is completed in the course of the period of employment.

Deadline:  16th September 2025
