We have an exciting opportunity for an individual to join our multidisciplinary study of ‘Zinc, iron and phosphorus co-limitation in the ocean’ (ZIPLOc). Recently funded by Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), ZIPLOc is a UK-based project between the Universities of Liverpool and Southampton with strong collaborative links to partners at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (USA), Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences (USA) and Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environment (France). Our aim is to combine novel observational and modelling experiments to quantify how phosphorus, zinc and iron co-limitation affects contemporary and future biological productivity. You will be responsible for using numerical modelling platforms to test hypotheses and project future change at wider space and time scales. The post is for 2.5 years starting from January 2017 onwards.
