About this position

The Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) is inviting applications for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Past, Present and Future Marine Climate Change group.

The project interest is centered on the ocean carbon cycle, including the open ocean and coastal seas, with a strong emphasis on machine learning, Earth observations, and data-driven reconstruction of air-sea CO2 exchange.

Research themes in the group include marine biogeochemistry, ocean carbon and heat fluxes, coastal carbon dynamics, climate-relevant variability, and the response of marine systems to extremes such as marine heat waves. The group also works with in-situ observations, satellite data, and model outputs to improve understanding of the marine carbon cycle and its role in climate.

This is a postdoctoral opportunity under the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships scheme. Applicants must hold a PhD by the deadline and meet the MSCA mobility and research-experience rules. The call is open now, and the deadline stated in the post is 9 September 2026.

Funding under MSCA PF typically covers a living allowance, mobility allowance, family allowance where applicable, and support for research, training, networking, management, and indirect costs.

Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Alizée Roobaert and/or Peter Landschützer to discuss project ideas and fit with the VLIZ group before submitting an application with the host organisation through the Funding and Tender Opportunities Portal.

Funding details

Support includes a living allowance, mobility allowance if applicable, family allowance if applicable, long-term leave and special needs allowances, plus funding for research, training and networking activities, management, and indirect costs.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD degree by the application deadline, or have successfully defended the doctoral thesis and be awaiting formal award of the degree. They must have a maximum of eight years of research experience from the date of PhD award, with career breaks and non-research experience excluded from the count. Mobility rules apply: for European Postdoctoral Fellowships, applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activity in the host country for more than 12 months in the 36 months before the deadline. All disciplines are eligible, but the host is especially interested in projects on the ocean carbon cycle in open ocean and coastal seas using machine learning approaches.
