<strong>Background</strong><br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The section <strong>Physical Oceanography of the Polar Seas </strong>invites applications for the position of a <strong></strong>Physical Oceanographer (m/f/d) in the framework of the HGF infrastructure Program “FRontiers in
Arctic marine Monitoring: The FRAM Ocean Observing System”. The position addresses the management and scientific integration of data from this and related programs.</div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The FRAM ocean observing system is a marine infrastructure to enable year-round time series observations in the Arctic Ocean and the Nordic Seas. FRAM contributes to international efforts towards comprehensive global Earth
observations. The main purpose of the FRAM infrastructure is permanent presence at sea, covering the ocean from the sea surface to the sea floor, for the provision of near real-time data for the study of ocean dynamics, climate variability and ecosystem change.
The infrastructure will provide ocean data from a range of measurements platforms and sensors that will be made available to a multitude of users.</div>
