PhD Position - CO2 transport and storage: Key to the European energy transition

Area of research:Promotion Job description:Your Job:The transformation of the European energy system to greenhouse gas neutrality will promote independence from fossil fuels. However, it raises the question of how to deal with emissions that cannot be avoided for technical or economic reasons. In the future, these must be captured and stored, used as raw materials, or offset by negative emissions. It can be assumed that storage and utilization sites will not be located directly at the source of emissions, which will require transport infrastructure. As part of this work, you will model spatially resolved transformation paths for the energy system in Germany and Europe and analyze the role of CO2 infrastructures in the design of energy infrastructures. Based on the findings of a related doctoral thesis, options for CO2 capture and utilization and options for negative emission will be integrated into the model. In doing so, you will explore various questions, such as: Where do remaining emissions occur and how can they be dealt with? What infrastructure is needed? What is a cost-effective design for this infrastructure and what framework conditions need to be created? To answer these questions, you will perform the following tasks: <ul><li> Identifying relevant technologies for mapping CO2 infrastructure in integrated energy system models </li><li> Enhancing an existing energy system model focusing on CO2 infrastructures </li><li> Analyzing the impact of CO2 on the energy systems design in Germany and Europe </li><li> Active participation in scientific and public discourse (including publishing in peer-reviewed scientific journals) </li></ul> Your Profile:<ul><li> A completed Master`s degree in the field of natural or (industrial) engineering, informatics, or a related field of study </li><li> Very good knowledge of energy technology, energy economics and energy politics </li><li> Initial experience in energy system modeling is advantageous </li><li> Good programming skills (e.g., Python) </li><li> High degree of independence and willingness to show great commitment </li><li> Very reliable and conscientious work style </li><li> Fluent written and spoken English and German </li></ul> Our Offer:We work on highly topical, socially-relevant issues and offer you the opportunity to actively shape change!

We also welcome applications from deep learning specialists who haveexperience working in different domains before. The use of deep learning for weather forecasting has experienced significant growth in recent years, transforming the computational representation of atmospheric processes. Large-scale models have so far been trained on coarse-resolution model data and thereby inherited some of the weaknesses of classical models in representing important but small-scale processes in the atmospheric boundary layer. To make the next leap forward in deep learning of atmospheric processes, we intend to train a model on high-resolution model output and observations. We aim to improve deep learning models beyond the limitations of current models. Your Tasks You will familiarize yourselves with the deep learning techniques and models used in atmospheric and climate science. You will also fine-tune a pre-trained foundational model such as Atmorep or Aurora using diverse data from large-eddy simulations, direct numerical simulations, and observations of the real atmosphere. Furthermore, you will collaborate with atmospheric scientists in our group and machine-learning experts from the Helmholtz AI program to develop a setup that allows for training a generalizable model of atmospheric boundary-layer processes. The tasks also include presenting results at conferences and publishing them as scientific papers. Your Profile <ul><li>PhD in physics, meteorology, or a related subject</li><li>Strong quantitative and numerical skills (or experience with deep learning methods, particularly with transformer-based architectures from a different domain)</li><li>Good knowledge of English as a working language (approximately equivalent to CEFR level B1)</li><li>Prior experience in Earth system modelling and machine learning is advantageous</li></ul> Further Information The AWI is characterized by The AWI is characterized by <ul><li>our scientific success - excellent research</li><li> collaboration and cooperation - intra-institute, national and international, interdisciplinary</li><li> opportunities to develop – on the job and towards other positions</li><li>an international environment – everyday contact with people from all over the world</li><li>flexible working hours and the possibility of mobile working up to 50% of regular working hours</li><li>health promotion and company fitness with Hansefit and Wellhub</li><li> support services and a culture of reconciling work and family</li><li>occupational pension provision (VBL)</li></ul> AWI values diversity and actively promotes gender parity, as well as an open, inclusive environment that provides equal opportunities.

Postdoctoral researcher (f_m_x) in submarine tectonics

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:GFZ is Germany's national centre for solid Earth research. We advance the understanding of dynamic processes to address global challenges, from mitigating the impacts of natural hazards and sustaining our habitat amid global change to responsibly managing georesources. We are part of the Helmholtz Association, the largest German scientific organisation. With around 1,200 employees as well as ca. 500 guest researchers, we contribute to the Helmholtz Research Field Earth and Environment, aligning cutting-edge research with societal relevance and international collaboration. Our work integrates multidisciplinary studies across Earth's system components, leveraging advanced technologies and infrastructure to research solutions and to transfer our knowledge to society. We are doing this according to our vision: “Taking the pulse of our Earth to safeguard a habitable planet”. For section 4.7  “Earth Surface Process Modelling” (department “Geosystems ”), we are looking for a: <h3>Reference Number 10408</h3> In tectonically active coastal areas, earthquake faults located offshore can trigger tsunamis in addition to the shaking risk. Their exact location and rate of activity can be difficult to assess as near-shore bathymetry is singularly understudied. Sea-going vessels produce high-resolution maps of the seafloor at greater depths, leaving shelf areas poorly resolved. The shallower domain down to ca. 125 m is of particular interest because eustatic cycles alternately expose it to submarine and subaerial erosion. This process gradient subjects fault scarps to varying rates of reworking, potentially revealing their activity over different timescales.To make up for the lack of nearshore high-resolution maps, we plan to develop and deploy an Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) equipped with a multibeam sonar in target locations starting with the Kefalonia Transform Fault Zone (KTFZ) in Western Greece. The offshore survey will complement ongoing dry land research of the KTFZ history by our team and the high-resolution offshore bathymetry recently acquired during the POSEIDON cruise. The USV is being developed in the mechanical workshop of GFZ and will need to be tested, modified, and improved during the project. The seafloor survey will image the scarps of active faults to understand the faults surface expression at different depths. The output will be 1) an extension of the regional active fault inventory and better constraints on their rate of activity and 2) a proof of concept for future near shore studies of seismogenic faults.The successful candidate will be in a team jointly led by Silvia Crosetto, Claudio Faccenna, Luca Malatesta, and Jean Braun.  <h3>Your responsibilities:</h3><ul><li>Participate in the development of the USV in the workshop, test runs, and initial deployments</li><li>Design a survey strategy and data analysis for the KTFZ field deployment and future missions</li><li>Lead the bathymetric survey effort in the field</li><li>Analyse collected dataset to inform active tectonic studies</li><li>Participate in or lead the tectonic geomorphology and paleoseismological study of fault activity</li><li>Provide expertise in bathymetric surveys for the development of research projects</li><li>Mentor students embedded in the project</li><li>Actively engage in scientific discussion and activities with other members of the section and collaborating sections at GFZ</li><li>Present, publish and communicate research results at scientific meetings and in scholarly journals</li></ul> <h3>Your qualifications:</h3><ul><li>PhD in Earth or Ocean Sciences (or equivalent) by the time of contract start</li><li>MSc in a field of natural sciences or engineering</li><li>Desirable advanced knowledge in bathymetric surveys and the use of multibeam sonar technology</li><li>Desirable advanced knowledge in the analysis of multibeam sonar datasets</li><li>Desirable aptitude to troubleshoot mechanical and electronic equipment</li><li>Desirable familiarity with active tectonics and dynamics of the earthquake cycle</li><li>Demonstrated excellence in publications (pre-prints and articles in revision will be considered)</li><li>Demonstrated capacity for international teamwork and excellent communication skills</li><li>Proficiency in spoken and written English</li></ul> <h3>What we offer:</h3><ul><li>Ambitious and varied tasks in a dynamic and international research environment</li><li>State-of-the-art equipment</li><li>Public service benefits</li><li>Extensive training opportunities</li><li>Professional career advice offered by our in-house Career-Centre </li><li>Flexible working hours and conditions</li><li>Support with finding a good work-life balance offered by benefit@work</li><li>Institute day-care centre on site </li><li>Working at the Albert Einstein science park on the Telegrafenberg in Potsdam </li><li>Work place within walking distance of Potsdam main train station, or just a short ride on the shuttle bus  </li><li>Possibility to live in and commute from Berlin</li></ul> Start date: As soon as possible Fixed-term: 33 Months until 31st March 2028 Salary: The position is classed as salary group 13 according to “TVöD Bund (Tarifgebiet Ost)”.

PhD position - Inverse design of microstructures for novel sustainable structural metals

Work group:IAS-9 - Materials Data Science and Informatics Area of research:Promotion Job description:Your Job:Digital methods for inverse materials design are essential to efficiently create new, sustainable and recycling-adapted structural metals. Alloys with a reduced number of elements, so-called lean alloys, and material systems with a high tolerance to impurities from the use of secondary raw materials are of particular relevance for improving recyclability and sustainability. Al-Ca is a promising lean alloy system for additive manufacturing, as the mechanical properties can be tailored through phase composition, distribution and morphology by tuning process parameters.

PhD student (f_m_x) – Fibre-Optics for Process Monitoring in Urban Areas

Area of research:Promotion Job description:GFZ is Germany's national centre for solid Earth research. We advance the understanding of dynamic processes to address global challenges, from mitigating the impacts of natural hazards and sustaining our habitat amid global change to responsibly managing georesources. We are part of the Helmholtz Association, the largest German scientific organisation. With around 1,200 employees as well as ca. 500 guest researchers, we contribute to the Helmholtz Research Field Earth and Environment, aligning cutting-edge research with societal relevance and international collaboration. Our work integrates multidisciplinary studies across Earth's system components, leveraging advanced technologies and infrastructure to research solutions and to transfer our knowledge to society. We are doing this according to our vision: “Taking the pulse of our Earth to safeguard a habitable planet”. For section 2.2 Geophysical Imaging (department “Geophysics”), we are looking for a: <h3>Reference Number 10492</h3> Monitoring temporal changes of seismic velocities and other seismic properties can provide valuable information about the behaviour and response of subsurface materials to natural and human forcing, such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, changes in groundwater levels and other hydrological processes, resource extraction, etc. In urban areas, continuous monitoring of these property variations at high resolution is hampered by direct access to the subsurface and the constraints of using conventional geophysical surveys.In the framework of the Helmholtz-funded project InDySE (Interrogating the Dynamic Shallow Earth), this PhD focuses on leveraging Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) deployed on existing telecommunication networks (dark fibres) and ambient seismic noise to investigate temporal and spatial variations of seismic velocities in the near-surface of urban areas. The focus will be on detecting changes and establishing a correlation with external factors (e.g. environmental influences, earthquakes, etc.) to identify the fundamental processes and local conditions controlling parameter variations, and their potential relation with geohazards. One of the possible study areas will be the city of Istanbul (Turkey). In combination with high-resolution subsurface imaging and characterisation studies, this work will contribute to the generation of comprehensive models of the urban shallow subsurface for improved geohazard assessment and sustainable urban development. <h3>Your responsibilities:</h3><ul><li>Analysis of ambient seismic noise data for temporal variations</li><li>Compilation of auxiliary data (e.g. environmental data) and correlation with observed seismic velocities</li><li>Interpretation of results concerning potential physical processes and parameters affecting seismic properties</li><li>Contribute to the design, planning and execution of DAS field experiments</li><li>Publish results in peer-reviewed journals and present at meetings and international conferences</li></ul> <h3>Your qualifications:</h3><ul><li>A Master's degree (or equivalent) in Geophysics (preferred), Physics, Computer Science or in a related discipline</li><li>Background in Seismology;  experience in the field of seismic noise preferred but not required</li><li>Familiarity and prior experience working with DAS data are advantageous but not required</li><li>Strong computational and scientific programming skills (Python, Matlab, C, C++, etc)</li><li>Good communication skills and a good command of written and spoken English</li><li>Willingness to participate in field experiments</li></ul> <h3>What we offer:</h3><ul><li>Ambitious and varied tasks in a dynamic and international research environment</li><li>State-of-the-art equipment</li><li>Public service benefits</li><li>Extensive training opportunities</li><li>Professional career advice offered by our in-house Career-Centre</li><li>Flexible working hours and conditions</li><li>Support with finding a good work-life balance offered by benefit@work</li><li>Institute day-care centre on site</li><li>Working at the Albert Einstein science park on the Telegrafenberg in Potsdam</li><li>Work place within walking distance of Potsdam main train station, or just a short ride on the shuttle bus</li></ul> Start date: 1st September 2025 Fixed-term: 3 years Salary: The position is classed as salary group 13 according to “TVöD Bund (Tarifgebiet Ost)”.

PostDoc in "Geopolitical dilemmas for management: transfer of governance for the Southern Ocean" (m/f/d) (HIPP26 #1)

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:PostDoc in "Geopolitical dilemmas for management: transfer of governance for the Southern Ocean" (m/f/d) (HIPP26 #1) Background Antarctica is often called the world’s last great wilderness, surrounded by a so-called ‘pristine’ ocean that harbours a highly diverse fauna of invertebrates, fish, birds, and mammals. This Southern Ocean covers nearly 10% of the world’s total ocean space. It is a habitat for over 10,000 known marine species. Politically, it is special in that the majority of the space represents Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ). This means that much of the Southern Ocean is, theoretically, open to all nations and has no national-level governance. The region is currently governed through the international Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), with the Southern Ocean under the remit of the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). Today, Antarctica and its surrounding waters are experiencing an increasing intensity of commercial, scientific, and political developments. The Southern Ocean is no longer a remote region (if it ever was). Scientists, fishers, and tourists travel to Antarctica and its surrounding waters to explore it, and also, in some cases, to exploit it. At the same time, the Southern Ocean, which plays a key role in regulating our climate through ocean currents, sea ice, and its ability to absorb heat and CO2 from the atmosphere, is undergoing climate-related changes. It is not beyond the reach of human-induced changes to our planet. In recent decades, environmental changes such as rising atmospheric and oceanic temperatures, reduced sea ice extent, ice shelf thinning, glacier retreat, and increasing ocean acidification have been observed. Record values have been reported, such as in February 2023, when the lowest sea ice extent since satellite observations began in 1979 was recorded at just 2.01 million km. These environmental changes are having profound biological effects, including changes in primary production, community composition, and poleward shifts of species. Species that are endemic to the high southern latitudes and specially adapted to cold conditions are particularly vulnerable, as their habitats with optimal environmental conditions become increasingly scarce. All in all, these ongoing changes highlight the urgent need to rethink the management of this unique region, ensuring that it remains resilient in the face of both human pressures and climate change. We invite applications for four positions, under the umbrella topic “The dilemma of the Southern Ocean: Ecosystems, sustainability and competing interests at the edge of the world" covering natural and social science perspectives, that will cohere around the ‘dilemma’ facing the Southern Ocean: how competing interests impact its governance, but also drive the need for greater science to understand its changes. Postdocs in the cohort will undertake independent projects in collaboration with a Principal Investigator (PI) and relevant staff, while also meeting as a unit to work together on joint goals related to the overarching research topic. The Southern Ocean focus is well supported by a recent Antarctic Strategy at the Alfred Wegener Institute and its long-term investment in polar science, as well as its engagement in providing the best available science to policymakers in CCAMLR. The HIPP (HIFMB Integrative Postdoc Pool) is also designed to allow networking between (marine) institutions. We therefore offer the possibility for candidates to foster external relationships, or in consultation, to bring in additional advisors from institutions outside of HIFMB. HIFMB continues to strive for transformation and to bridge the science-policy interface. Therefore, experience or interest in transfer activities is a plus. Project #1: Geopolitical dilemmas for management: transfer of governance for the Southern Ocean The Southern Ocean is both remote and connected: an international body of water that sits under the remit of the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) and the countries party to it, who manage its use through best available science. Yet as use intensifies, a number of governance challenges arise for its protection, shaped not only by the changing physical state of the planet, but also by its ever-changing geopolitical shape. Whilst there is ample research on the geopolitics of the Antarctic region, including the Southern Ocean, and ample research on its changing environmental state, this project aims to combine the two in exploring the political challenges, impacts, and possibilities that underscore environmental governance decision-making, to work towards best available social science for understanding the dilemmas for management and how they may be overcome. Your Tasks This project works at the interface of the three other projects in the HIPP 2026 cohort, reflecting on the geopolitical challenges of realizing management measures (existing and exploratory), and working to investigate optimal modes of transfer to relevant policy realms (including but not limited to CCAMLR). The project will ask questions, to be defined by the post holder, but which may include: <ul><li>What (geo)political histories shape the dynamics of policy-making, as related to each cohort project?</li><li>What governance mechanisms currently exist and how functional are they (or the concept of them)?</li><li>What are the alternatives to dominant modes of managing the Southern Ocean and ensuring sustainable use aside from those currently deployed or planned? What science might be needed for them (over what time frames, with what resources)?</li><li>How might science be best transferred (via what mechanisms, forums, approaches)?</li></ul> You’ll be working in the Southern Ocean Conservation and Governance Group, as well as the Transfer Office of HIFMB, in connection with the Environmental Policy at AWI. The post offers membership to the HIPP cohort and wider HIFMB postgraduate community, and the candidate will liaise between the Working Groups relevant to the position, for example, Marine Governance, Ocean Acoustics, and Ecophysiology of Pelagic Key Species. Further details: As a Helmholtz Institute, the HIFMB contributes to one of the Helmholtz Research Programs (currently ‘Changing Earth – Sustaining our Future’) as part of a particular topic (6, Marine and Polar Life). The cohort work will directly contribute to the scope and challenges of topic 6 by researching how marine ecosystems will adapt and respond to human impacts (e.g., fishing, tourism), and by assessing options to remedy and mitigate human impacts. Within topic 6, this cohort work attends especially to subtopic 6.1, which is central to the HIFMB mission on "Future Ecosystem Functionality," and subtopic 6.4, "Use and Misuse of the Ocean." Within subtopic 6.1, it aims to work towards the central goal of understanding biodiversity change and its human impacts and effects, while investigating new and evaluating existing concepts for marine conservation and marine governance. Additionally, the emission of anthropogenic noise places significant additional pressure on the Antarctic ecosystem. The work of the cohort contributes towards deliverables aimed at improving projection capabilities of future marine biodiversity and its role in maintaining key ecosystem functions such as productivity and strategies for sustainable management of selected marine ecosystems. Your Profile <ul><li>PhD in a social or political science discipline (i.e., IR, Political Science, Planning, Human Geography, Sociology, Political Ecology, Law) or in a natural science discipline where explicit and considerable interdisciplinary experience has been gained (i.e., Ecology, Biology, Oceanography)</li><li>Strong skills and evidenced experience in textual analysis (i.e., policy or discourse analysis)</li><li>Knowledge of the marine social sciences</li><li>Highly motivated and eager to work in an interdisciplinary marine research context</li><li>Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines.</li><li>Very good English knowledge (approximately equivalent to CEFR level C1)</li><li>A background in Antarctic research is a plus, though not required</li></ul> Further Information The AWI is characterized by The AWI is characterized by <ul><li>our scientific success - excellent research</li><li> collaboration and cooperation - intra-institute, national and international, interdisciplinary</li><li> opportunities to develop – on the job and towards other positions</li><li>an international environment – everyday contact with people from all over the world</li><li>flexible working hours </li><li>health promotion and company fitness</li><li> support services and a culture of reconciling work and family</li><li>occupational pension provision (VBL)</li></ul> AWI values diversity and actively promotes gender parity, as well as an open, inclusive environment that provides equal opportunities. We are convinced that diverse teams and a variety of perspectives enrich our work and our daily collaboration. In a continuous process of learning and reflection, we aim to ensure that all our employees can be themselves and feel a sense of belonging. We welcome applications from qualified people regardless of binary and non-binary genders, race and nationality, ethnic and social background, religion, age, physical abilities, neurodivergence, sexual orientation, and other identities. Applicants with disabilities will be given preference when equal qualifications are present. AWI fosters work-family compatibility in various ways and has received several awards as a result of this commitment. And as a new international member of our team, you can be sure that we will help you settle in. Our Family Office and International Office will be glad to support you, even before you start at AWI.

HIFMB continues to strive for transformation and to bridge the science-policy interface. Therefore, experience or interest in transfer activities is a plus. Project #2: Sustaining the keystone: Rethinking Antarctic krill fishery management under climate change Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a keystone species in the Southern Ocean ecosystem, essential for the survival of many species’ that depend on it. This ecologically critical species is also the target species of the largest and fastest growing fishery in the Southern Ocean, regulated by CCAMLR. CCAMLR aims to manage this fishery sustainably, relying on ecosystem-based approaches incorporating data on predator population, ecosystem state, and krill biomass and distribution. The krill fishery is concentrated in the southwest Atlantic Sector of the Southern Ocean (CCAMLR Area 48), a krill hotspot that supports many krill-dependent air-breathing predators, including penguins, seals, and baleen whales. Simultaneously, this region is experiencing rapid warming and ecological shifts, including in krill biomass. In Subarea 48.1, at the Antarctic Peninsula, krill fishery catches have risen steadily, with the annual allowable catch limit reached 10 times in the past 13 years, intensifying fishing pressure in neighbouring Subareas, such as 48.2 (South Orkney Islands). A critical development occurred during the October 2024 CCAMLR meeting: the expiration of Conservation Measure (CM) 51-07, which previously mandated that the maximum annual allowable catch of 620.000 t be spatially distributed among Subareas 48.1 to 48.4. With no consensus among member states to renew this measure, the fishery now has unrestricted spatial allocation within area 48, heightening concerns over localised overexploitation. Your Tasks This project will investigate krill fishing activities before and after the expiration of conservation measure 51-07 in CCAMLR fishing area 48 in conjunction with existing conservation measures, including those implemented by the fishing industry voluntarily. In addition, the project requires addressing and answering key questions regarding krill fishery management, such as: <ul><li>Does the current management concept adequately address the emerging challenges posed by climate change and a fast-growing fishery?</li><li>How can the management concept be improved, potentially by learning from management concepts of other global fishries?</li><li>How can an improved management concept be effectively implemented in CCAMLR?</li></ul> You’ll be working in the Southern Ocean Conservation and Governance Group.

HIFMB continues to strive for transformation and to bridge the science-policy interface. Therefore, experience or interest in transfer activities is a plus. Project #3 Navigating uncertainty: Planning marine protected areas in a changing Southern Ocean More than 70 nations have committed to the 30x30 initiative under the Global Ocean Alliance, an ambitious effort to protect 30% of the world’s oceans through designated protected areas by 2030. This goal, recently incorporated into the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity, underscores the urgent need for enhanced ocean conservation. Aligned with these global efforts, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) has a long-standing commitment to conserving Antarctic marine life by establishing a representative system of marine protected areas (MPAs) around Antarctica. To date, CCAMLR has successfully designated two MPAs: one near the South Orkney Islands and another in the Ross Sea. However, consensus on four additional proposed MPAs has remained elusive, primarily due to (geo)political disagreements among member states, particularly concerning the balance between conservation priorities and economic interests. In this challenging context, the scientific community must continue to generate robust data and disseminate reliable results. Science-based decision-making is key to overcoming political obstacles and advancing MPA proposals that will secure the long-term protection of the Southern Ocean in a rapidly changing world. Your Tasks This project requires addressing and answering key research questions regarding the current status of the Southern Ocean, expected ecosystem changes, and their implications for systematic conservation planning. The following pressing research topics provide examples of what could be explored, though other topics may also be considered: <ul><li>Climate-smart conservation planning: How can MPAs be designed and managed with climate change in mind, ensuring they remain effective refuges and contribute to ecosystem resilience under changing environmental conditions?</li><li>Ecosystem services: How might climate-induced changes in the Southern Ocean ecosystems affect the provision of ecosystem services, and how can these insights be integrated into systematic conservation planning? </li><li>Optimising connectivity in MPA networks: How can systematic conservation planning approaches be used to enhance the structural and functional connectivity of MPAs in the Southern Ocean, ensuring greater ecosystem resilience in the face of climate change?</li></ul> You’ll be working in the Southern Ocean Conservation and Governance Group, as well as the Transfer Office of HIFMB, in connection with the Environmental Policy at AWI. The post offers membership to the HIPP cohort and wider HIFMB postgraduate community, and the candidate will liaise between the Working Groups relevant to the position, for example, Weddell Sea MPA and/or Marine Governance. Further details: As a Helmholtz Institute, the HIFMB contributes to one of the Helmholtz Research Programs (currently ‘Changing Earth – Sustaining our Future’) as part of a particular topic (6, Marine and Polar Life).

PostDoc in "Acoustic possibilities for Southern Ocean management dilemmas" (m/f/d) (HIPP26 #4)

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:PostDoc in "Acoustic possibilities for Southern Ocean management dilemmas" (m/f/d) (HIPP26 #4) Background Antarctica is often called the world’s last great wilderness, surrounded by a so-called ‘pristine’ ocean that harbours a highly diverse fauna of invertebrates, fish, birds, and mammals. This Southern Ocean covers nearly 10% of the world’s total ocean space. It is a habitat for over 10,000 known marine species. Politically, it is special in that the majority of the space represents Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ). This means that much of the Southern Ocean is, theoretically, open to all nations and has no national-level governance. The region is currently governed through the international Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), with the Southern Ocean under the remit of the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). Today, Antarctica and its surrounding waters are experiencing an increasing intensity of commercial, scientific, and political developments. The Southern Ocean is no longer a remote region (if it ever was). Scientists, fishers, and tourists travel to Antarctica and its surrounding waters to explore it, and also, in some cases, to exploit it. At the same time, the Southern Ocean, which plays a key role in regulating our climate through ocean currents, sea ice, and its ability to absorb heat and CO2 from the atmosphere, is undergoing climate-related changes. It is not beyond the reach of human-induced changes to our planet. In recent decades, environmental changes such as rising atmospheric and oceanic temperatures, reduced sea ice extent, ice shelf thinning, glacier retreat, and increasing ocean acidification have been observed. Record values have been reported, such as in February 2023, when the lowest sea ice extent since satellite observations began in 1979 was recorded at just 2.01 million km. These environmental changes are having profound biological effects, including changes in primary production, community composition, and poleward shifts of species. Species that are endemic to the high southern latitudes and specially adapted to cold conditions are particularly vulnerable, as their habitats with optimal environmental conditions become increasingly scarce. All in all, these ongoing changes highlight the urgent need to rethink the management of this unique region, ensuring that it remains resilient in the face of both human pressures and climate change. We invite applications for four positions, under the umbrella topic “The dilemma of the Southern Ocean: Ecosystems, sustainability and competing interests at the edge of the world" covering natural and social science perspectives, that will cohere around the ‘dilemma’ facing the Southern Ocean: how competing interests impact its governance, but also drive the need for greater science to understand its changes. Postdocs in the cohort will undertake independent projects in collaboration with a Principal Investigator (PI) and relevant staff, while also meeting as a unit to work together on joint goals related to the overarching research topic. The Southern Ocean focus is well supported by a recent Antarctic Strategy at the Alfred Wegener Institute and its long-term investment in polar science, as well as its engagement in providing the best available science to policymakers in CCAMLR. The HIPP (HIFMB Integrative Postdoc Pool) is also designed to allow networking between (marine) institutions. We therefore offer the possibility for candidates to foster external relationships, or in consultation, to bring in additional advisors from institutions outside of HIFMB. HIFMB continues to strive for transformation and to bridge the science-policy interface. Therefore, experience or interest in transfer activities is a plus. Project #4: Acoustic possibilities for Southern Ocean management dilemmas Antarctic tourism is booming (more than 104,000 tourists visited Antarctica 2022–2023 season, over 40 percent more compared to the 2019–2020 pre-pandemic season, ca 125,000 tourists visited in the 2023/24 season), raising concerns on the impact of tourist landings, in terms of damage, diseases and introduction of alien species, but also in terms of the impact of the increased presence of ships in the region. Moreover, tourist fleet shipping routes, destinations, and vessel movement strategies are laid out to include encounters with Antarctic wildlife, as these often form a crucial part of the Antarctic tourist experience. The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) is an organization of virtually all the commercial tour operators to the Antarctic. IAATO has established guidelines for tourist landings on the Antarctic mainland and ships encountering marine life in the ocean. But still, IAATO is self-regulatory, and adherence to these guidelines is voluntary. Currently, there are no boundaries to Antarctic tourism. Antarctic waters form crucial habitats for many marine mammal species, some of which undertake long-distance migrations to exploit Antarctic prey patches, synchronizing their arrival with conspecifics to optimize collective foraging strategies. Other species rely on ice-covered Antarctic waters for breeding, thereby timing the rearing of young to the availability of specific sea-ice habitats as a birthing and lactating platform. The success of these strategies critically relies on the timing of behavior to match the narrow summer season window during which the environmental conditions meet the critical seasonal- and species-specific habitat requirements for foraging and breeding. This, along with the vital role that underwater sound plays for these species in coordinating behavior and navigating dark and under-ice habitats, reveals the enormous impact potential of increased human presence in Antarctic waters. Particularly given the crucial temporal overlap in habitat function and usage during the narrow summer season window, with the timing of increased human presence in the area. Your Tasks This project focuses on mapping spatio-temporal overlaps in the presence of both human and marine mammal activities. By using sighting data and ship positional data, as well as passive acoustic recordings, the project will provide an overview of how hotspots in human and marine mammal presence are distributed in affected areas. Acoustic ship models will furthermore help to understand and gauge the acoustic footprint of ships in various types of Antarctic habitats as well as their cumulative impact on seasonal soundscapes and their cumulative impact on the local underwater noise budgets of human hotspots. In addition, the project seeks to place human presence in the broader context of the drastic effects of climate-induced changes and address questions related to improving management, such as: <ul><li>How can vulnerable areas best be monitored? Can local noise budgets be accounted? What are the potential designs of effective monitoring setups?</li><li>Can operators and tourists be sensitized to the impact of their presence, and how can knowledge contribute to modes of management and self-management?</li><li>What measures may improve the sustainability of Antarctic tourism, if at all?</li></ul> You’ll be working in the Southern Ocean Conservation and Governance Group. The post offers membership to the HIPP cohort and wider HIFMB postgraduate community and the candidate will liaise between the Working Groups relevant to the position, for example Ocean Acoustics and/or Marine Governance. Further details: As a Helmholtz Institute, the HIFMB contributes to one of the Helmholtz Research Programs (currently ‘Changing Earth – Sustaining our Future’) as part of a particular topic (6, Marine and Polar Life). The cohort work will directly contribute to the scope and challenges of topic 6 by researching how marine ecosystems will adapt and respond to human impacts (e.g., fishing, tourism), and by assessing options to remedy and mitigate human impacts. Within topic 6, this cohort work attends especially to subtopic 6.1, which is central to the HIFMB mission on "Future Ecosystem Functionality," and subtopic 6.4, "Use and Misuse of the Ocean." Within subtopic 6.1, it aims to work towards the central goal of understanding biodiversity change and its human impacts and effects, while investigating new and evaluating existing concepts for marine conservation and marine governance. Additionally, the emission of anthropogenic noise places significant additional pressure on the Antarctic ecosystem. Work of the cohort contributes towards deliverables aimed at improved projection capabilities of future marine biodiversity and its role in maintaining key ecosystem functions such as productivity and strategies for sustainable management of selected marine ecosystems. Your Profile <ul><li>A PhD in (bio)acoustics, spatial ecology, marine environmental science, or a related subject</li><li>Experienced in acoustic propagation modelling, signal processing, and data mining</li><li>A strong background in programming, statistical analysis, and spatial modelling and mapping</li><li>Highly motivated to work on the subject and eager to work in an interdisciplinary marine research context</li><li>Ability to think out of the box</li><li>Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines</li><li>Very good English knowledge (approximately equivalent to CEFR level C1)</li></ul> Further Information The AWI is characterized by The AWI is characterized by <ul><li>our scientific success - excellent research</li><li> collaboration and cooperation - intra-institute, national and international, interdisciplinary</li><li> opportunities to develop – on the job and towards other positions</li><li>an international environment – everyday contact with people from all over the world</li><li>flexible working hours </li><li>health promotion and company fitness with Hansefit and Wellhub</li><li> support services and a culture of reconciling work and family</li><li>occupational pension provision (VBL)</li></ul> AWI values diversity and actively promotes gender parity, as well as an open, inclusive environment that provides equal opportunities.
