• Postdoctoral Research Position in Benthic Ecology - the LSCE (Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement) near Paris invites applications for a benthic ecologist to work with biogeochemical modelers in its marine biogeochemistry group. The candidate’s research will focus on impacts of climate change on benthic ecosystems at the global scale. The candidate will analyze biological data, along with physical-biogeochemical observations and model output in order to identify critical environmental thresholds for benthic ecosystems or key stone species. The candidate will draw on latest Earth System Model projections to assess tipping points in benthic habitats and to map future safe operating spaces under different climate change scenarios. Candidates should have a background in quantitative marine ecology. Previous experience in applying advanced statistical tools is highly desirable. Experience with Python or similar would be appreciated. Salary depends on experience as assessed by the French CEA.  A 2-year contract is available through the EU project COMFORT which focuses on closing knowledge gaps for key ocean tipping elements within the Earth system under anthropogenic climate change.  Applicants are invited to submit a brief statement of research interests, CV and details of two referees to M. Gehlen.
