About this position
The University of Helsinki invites applications for two three-year postdoctoral researcher positions in coastal marine science within CoastClim, the Centre for Coastal Ecosystem and Climate Change Research.
The first position focuses on coastal sediment microbial ecology and biogeochemistry. The researcher will investigate how benthic biodiversity regulates carbon processing in healthy and degraded coastal ecosystems, with potential work on microbial controls of sediment carbon mineralization, methane production and oxidation, redox-sensitive processes, sediment–water exchange, and climate-relevant volatile organic compounds.
The second position focuses on experimental marine ecology and biodiversity–ecosystem functioning. The researcher will develop field-based experiments examining how biodiversity influences carbon cycling in natural coastal ecosystems. Activities may include in situ disturbance and biodiversity manipulation, measurements of sediment and community carbon stocks, organic-matter processing, benthic chamber incubations, and collaborative greenhouse-gas and volatile-organic-compound research.
Both researchers will join an international, interdisciplinary community combining marine ecology, biogeochemistry and atmospheric science. The research is based primarily at Tvärminne Zoological Station, which provides access to diverse coastal habitats, research vessels, scientific diving, laboratories, experimental infrastructure and long-term environmental observations. Researchers will collaborate with doctoral researchers and scientific staff across CoastClim, the University of Helsinki and Stockholm University.
Funding details
Both positions are full-time, three-year postdoctoral research appointments. The starting salary is typically €3,700–€4,200 per month, based on the Finnish university collective agreement requirement level 5 plus a personal-performance salary component. The University of Helsinki also offers comprehensive employee services, including occupational health care.
What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD by the beginning of employment in a relevant field. Position 1 seeks expertise in microbial ecology, marine biogeochemistry, environmental microbiology, aquatic ecology or related disciplines, with experience in sediment processes, microbial or functional analyses, sediment–water fluxes, porewater chemistry, redox profiling, carbon or nutrient mineralization, greenhouse-gas measurements, experimental design, complex data analysis and statistical or bioinformatics tools such as R or Python. Position 2 requires a PhD in marine ecology, benthic ecology, experimental ecology or a related field; substantial SCUBA or scientific-diving experience involving underwater sampling or experiments; competence in experimental design and marine fieldwork organization; quantitative and statistical skills using R, Python or Matlab; ecological or experimental data-analysis experience; peer-reviewed publications; excellent written English; and the ability to work independently and collaboratively. Both positions value strong scientific writing, quantitative independence, communication skills and interdisciplinary research ability.
How to apply
Submit an application through the University of Helsinki online recruitment system using the “Apply Now” button; current University of Helsinki employees should use the SAP Fiori employee portal. Upload one PDF in the CV field containing a maximum two-page motivation letter, the position applied for, a CV with publication list if applicable, and two recommendation letters with referees’ contact information.
