Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Plant-Soil Interactions and Coastal Biogeochemistry within the Environmental Sciences Division. The project is part of the interdisciplinary Exploring Gulf Region Ecosystem Transitions (EGRET) collaboration, which studies disturbance-driven ecosystem transitions across the U.S. Gulf Coast using field observations, laboratory mesocosms, AI/ML, remote sensing, process-based modeling, and advanced analytical tec...

Postdoc opportunity at Utrecht University in ocean acidification and the marine phosphorus cycle. The project, PHOSFLUX, is an NWO-funded collaboration between Utrecht University and NIOZ that investigates how ocean acidification may alter CaCO3 fluxes, phosphorus cycling, ocean fertility, and CO2 uptake. The postdoctoral researcher will focus on biogeochemical modelling and develop a reactive-transport model for phosphorus dynamics in sinking and deposited marine snow. The work includes process...
