<p>we are seeking to fill a PhD position with the focus on
investigation of functional responses of open water bodies
to climate forcing in Siberia. This PhD project is part of
an exciting ERC-synergy project focusing on Arctic climate
change and permafrost disturbance processes. All details on
the position, required qualifications and the application
procedure can be found here:</p>

<p><b>Project description:</b><br>
This PhD thesis will investigate the carbon exchange
processes between open water and the atmosphere for
different types of water bodies within heterogeneous
permafrost landscapes. The successful candidate will
contribute to the design of mobile floating chamber
platforms, and deploy these systems in our Northeast
Siberian study region. To understand the functional
responses of different kinds of lakes and streams to climate
forcing, besides the sampling of greenhouse gas fluxes
themselves also ancillary parameters such as bathymetry,
sediment characteristics, or the influence of specific
weather events will be studied. The overarching objective
will be to constrain typical emission rates for different
types of water bodies, and also different zones within lakes
and streams, and contribute towards a better mechanistic
understanding of lake morphology impacts on net carbon
budgets in Arctic permafrost regions.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Tasks</b>:<br>
The study will involve summer field campaigns in the Kolyma
Lowlands region in Siberia to investigate aquatic
biogeochemistry and carbon cycle processes. The work will be
embedded within the ERC-synergy project Q-Arctic (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://q-arctic.net/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://q-arctic.net/</a>), which
aims at observing and modeling the impact of permafrost
disturbance processes on future permafrost carbon climate
feedbacks. Moreover, the work is also closely coordinated
with other ongoing and planned research activities of
partner institutions at national and international level.
Within this framework, the PhD project is expected to
closely interact with, and contribute to, research
activities within the other project components of Q-Arctic,
including multi-disciplinary in-situ observations, satellite
remote sensing and land-surface modeling at regional to
pan-Arctic scales.</p>

The Max Planck Society (MPS) strives for gender equality and
diversity. The MPS aims to increase the proportion of women
in areas where they are underrepresented. Women are
therefore explicitly encouraged to apply. We welcome
applications from all fields. The Max Planck Society has set
itself the goal of employing more severely disabled people.
Applications from severely disabled persons are expressly
