Two Postdoctoral Researcher Positions in Coastal Marine Science

The Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Helsinki invites applications for two 3-year postdoctoral researcher positions in coastal marine science to join CoastClim, the Centre for Coastal Ecosystem and Climate Change Research. The positions are based at Tvärminne Zoological Station and involve interdisciplinary research on how biodiversity and ecosystem state influence coastal carbon cycling, greenhouse gases, and climate feedbacks. Position 1 focuses on sediment microbial ecology and biogeochemistry, while Position 2 emphasizes experimental marine ecology and biodiversity–ecosystem functioning. Successful candidates will develop independent research programmes aligned with CoastClim’s biodiversity–carbon agenda, contributing to field and laboratory experiments. The positions offer full-time employment with opportunities for collaboration, publication, and future funding applications, primarily based in Finland with potential fieldwork elsewhere.
