PhD position There is a vacancy for a PhD Research Fellow in Marine Biogeochemistry at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen, and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. The position is for a fixed-term period of 3 years with the possibility of a 4th year with career-promoting work (e.g. teaching at the Department). The position funded by the University of Bergen. About the project/work tasks The PhD Fellowship is associated with Arctic Ocean 2050, a major ten‑year national research program aimed at advancing our understanding of the present state and future evolution of the Arctic Ocean. The program brings together 18 Norwegian partners and combines interdisciplinary fieldwork, innovation, and cutting-edge ocean and climate modelling. Core activities include multiple research cruises and extensive cross-institutional collaboration. The selected candidate will investigate how climate change affects the efficiency of the Arctic Ocean as a sink for anthropogenic carbon. The project will combine field measurements—such as biogeochemical observations and transient tracers—with outputs from advanced numerical models. The PhD fellow will assess present and future carbon storage in the Arctic Ocean and examine how changes in ocean circulation and mixing, particularly those resulting from sea-ice decline, influence the ocean’s capacity to absorb and retain carbon. This position offers an excellent opportunity for candidates interested in climate science, oceanography, biogeochemistry, and Earth system processes, and who wish to contribute to our understanding of one of the world’s most rapidly changing regions. The PhD candidate is expected to participate in a research cruise to the Arctic Ocean commencing late July 2026, and to actively engage in project activities—including meetings, research schools, outreach events, and collaboration within the broader Arctic Ocean 2050 network. The candidate will also become part of the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, Norway’s leading climate research environment. Qualifications and personal qualities Applicants must hold a master’s degree or equivalent education in marine biogeochemistry, oceanography or related field, or must have submitted his/her master’s thesis for assessment prior to the application deadline. It is a condition of employment that the master’s degree has been awarded. A firm understanding of large-scale to regional-scale oceanography, including processes shaping the distribution of biogeochemical tracers (e.g., carbon, nutrients, oxygen) or transient tracers such as CFC-12 and SF6, is required. Proficiency in MATLAB or Python is required. Applicants must be able to take part in a nearly two-month-long Arctic Ocean research cruise scheduled to begin in late July 2026. Prior experience with seagoing fieldwork and sampling is considered an advantage. Experience with laboratory measurements and quality control of biogeochemical properties or transient tracers is an advantage.
