The University of Hamburg is offering a PhD position in the COLDSPOT project, which investigates Arctic areas acting as sinks for methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), greenhouse gases that significantly impact climate change. The project will involve field measurements, laboratory experiments, and microbial analyses to understand the unique biogeochemical processes in the Arctic. The candidate will participate in field expeditions, contribute to collaborative research, and publish findings in scientific journals. A Master's degree in biogeochemistry, microbiology, geosciences, or related fields is required, along with experience in fieldwork and laboratory research.
