The role
The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will develop a 1D process-model testbed within the C-Star modeling system to improve ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) monitoring and verification. This role involves implementing particulate dissolution and precipitation kinetics to enhance biogeochemical modeling and uncertainty quantification. The scientist will work closely with industry partners to ensure model findings translate into scalable, open-source oceanographic tools.
What you'll do
- Design and implement a 1D OAE process-model testbed within the C-Star modeling framework.
- Develop parameterizations for mineral dissolution, precipitation kinetics, and particle sinking.
- Conduct large perturbed-parameter ensembles to assess uncertainty in OAE outcomes.
- Validate model parameterizations against empirical laboratory and field datasets.
- Collaborate with industry partners to ground model development in observational reality.
- Author peer-reviewed manuscripts documenting scientific findings and model validation.
What it takes
- Ph.D. in oceanography, marine chemistry, geochemistry, or a related field.
- Strong background in marine carbon cycling and carbonate chemistry.
- Proficiency in Python for scientific software development.
- Experience with biogeochemical model code such as Fortran or Julia.
- Ability to design numerical experiments and interpret results effectively.
