About this position
University of Gothenburg is advertising a 2-year postdoctoral position in experimental evaluation of the combined effects of changes associated with ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) implementation. The work is based at the Kristineberg Marine Research Station, Fiskebäckskil, within the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences.
This postdoc is part of the EU Horizon project OAeSIS, an interdisciplinary consortium working on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR), ocean acidification, governance, and socio-economic assessment. The position focuses on marine biology, eco-physiology, carbonate chemistry, multiple stressor experiments, meta-analysis, and statistical/non-linear modeling to assess how different OAE deployment methods affect key marine species, communities, and biodiversity.
Core tasks include reviewing the state of the art, resolving performance curves for main drivers such as total alkalinity, pH, and trace elements, conducting laboratory experiments on marine organisms and life-history stages, developing mechanistic models of biological impacts, and testing those models with complex multiple-stressor experiments. The work includes field sampling, experiments on echinoderms and bivalves, literature synthesis, data analysis, publication, and communication with project partners and stakeholders.
Eligibility: applicants must hold a PhD in a relevant field, have excellent English communication skills, and show strong experience in marine biology/eco-physiology, experimental design, marine animal culturing, and meta-analysis. Experience with seawater carbonate chemistry, ocean alkalinity enhancement or ocean acidification, early-life-stage experiments, multiple stressors, and non-linear modeling is highly desirable.
Funding and employment: this is a salaried temporary employment for 2 years at 100% full time. No scholarship or stipend is mentioned.
Application deadline: 2026-09-07. Apply via the University of Gothenburg recruitment portal and include a cover letter, CV, PhD certificate, and publication list. If needed, send non-digital publications by mail to the department in Fiskebäckskil, Sweden.

What's required
Applicants must have a doctoral degree in a field relevant to the research project, with the degree completed before the employment decision is made. The postdoc is intended primarily for candidates who completed the PhD no more than three years before the end of the application period, though exceptions may apply for special grounds. Required qualifications include excellent written and spoken English, specialization in marine biology or eco-physiology, experience in experimental design, marine animal culturing, and meta-analysis. Desirable qualifications include experience with seawater carbonate chemistry manipulation and measurement, ocean alkalinity enhancement or ocean acidification, complex laboratory experiments on marine animals including early life stages, understanding of multiple stressors, and strong statistical/non-linear modeling skills.
How to apply
Apply through the University of Gothenburg recruitment portal using the Apply button. Submit a cover letter explaining how you meet the selection criteria, a CV, certificate of PhD exam, and a complete publication list. If publications cannot be uploaded digitally, mail one copy to the Department of Biological and Environmental Science in Fiskebäckskil, Sweden, before the deadline.
