Tenure Track Scientist Marine Robotics
Analytical Chemistry Analyst - On-site - - 't Horntje, Texel, Noord-Holland, Netherlands - Ocean systems (OCS) Do you have a strong background in analytical chemistry and are you interested in working as a Chemical Analyst (research assistant) in a laboratory? Then the R oyal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) has an interesting job on offer for you. Full-time appointment with prospect of a permanent contract. THE INSTITUTE NIOZ is the national oceanographic institute of the Netherlands. Its principal mission is to perform high-quality, multidisciplinary marine research and education addressing important scientific and societal questions pertaining to the functioning of oceans, seas and deltas. NIOZ advances fundamental understanding of marine systems, the way they change, the role they play in climate and biodiversity, and how they may contribute to a sustainable future. NIOZ serves as national marine research facilitator for the scientific community in The Netherlands. In addition, NIOZ supports the development of marine policy within the national and international context. THE DEPARTMENT The department of Ocean Systems (OCS) studies the role of the ocean in a changing climate, from equator to pole, from the continental shelf to the deep ocean and from the past to the present. The ocean is Earth's largest reservoir of CO2 and heat; circulation, mixing, biogeochemistry and other processes strongly impact global climate; advanced ocean observations allow us to decipher the current and future functioning of the ocean. Furthermore, seafloor sediments have recorded past changes in conditions on land and in the ocean, in the form of biological residues or physical and chemical signals, which allow us to reconstruct feedbacks between oceanic processes and climate in the (ancient) past. Today, the ocean is changing rapidly because of (human) stressors such as pollution, warming, overexploitation and eutrophication. This i...
