About us
The ICBM is an interdisciplinary research institute, for fundamental and applied marine research. The internationally renowned institute aims at understanding the function of marine environmental systems through close cooperation of the various scientific disciplines (chemistry, biology, physics, mathematical modelling) of its more than 20 research groups.
The group Theoretical Physics/Complex Systems works on the development of methods to study critical transitions in nonlinear dynamical systems, particularly networked systems with application to climate and ecosystems. The topic of this postdoc position is related to a project funded by the German Science Foundation " The vulnerability of complex networks due to a parameter drift and strategies to counteract the consequences ".The main objective is to study the response of food webs to changing environmental conditions and the role of chaotic transients in maintaining a high level of biodiversity in metacommunities (networks of networks). Therefore, the work is highly interdisciplinary.
Your tasks
To study the sophisticated feed web models (high-dimensional ODE systems) using numerical simulations to find suitable non-equilibrium dynamics (periodic or chaotic) and to identify critical transitions in such food webs. This involves the computation of high-dimensional chaotic saddles and their continuation with varying parameters.
Your profile
Requirements: Qualifying academic university degree (Master or diploma (not of a University of Applied Sciences)) and a PhD degree in Physics, Meteorology, Oceanography, Atmospheric Science, Environmental Sciences or Mathematics, with good grades.A strong background in physics and mathematics and extended experience in computer programming with Matlab, Python, Julia or other higher programming languages is expected. Applicants should be open for interdisciplinary collaborations with biologists and ecologists.
Our standards
The University of Oldenburg is dedicated to increase the percentage of female employees in the field of science. Therefore, female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. In accordance to § 21 Section 3 NHG, female candidates with equal qualifications will be preferentially considered.Applicants with disabilities will be given preference in case of equal qualification.
