Position: 2-year post-Doctoral position (OSS2015 project)
Location: Laboratoire d'Océanologie et de Géosciences, France

A 2-year post-doctoral position is proposed (with
a start as soon as  possible in 2012) at the
"Laboratoire d'Océanologie et de Géosciences",
LOG, within the  Physical oceanography,
transport, and remote sensing" group (see
log.univ-littoral.fr/oceano).
The research activities performed during these
two years will also be carried out in close
collaboration with the Marine optics and remote
sensing group (see www.obs-vlfr.fr/LOV/OMT ) of
the  Laboratoire
d'Océanographie de Villefranche, LOV (especially
with David Antoine and  Hervé Claustre).
Short-term visits at LOV are therefore planed in
the frame of this  collaboration.

The proposed position is developed within the
OSS2015 project (European  FP7 project) which
aims at R&D activities for the development of new
and innovative marine  biogeochemistry
products and services not currently available
through MyOcean, the  precursor service of the
operational forecast and analysis component of
the European Marine Core  Service (MCS).
The OSS2015 products and services will be derived
from a combination of  satellite and
in-situ data as well as biological and
bio-optical models. Usage of  these new
capabilities
will be promoted among a wide range of users in
the scientific,  institutional and private
sectors.

The specific objectives of the research activity
are to provide global  maps of optical and
biogeochemical products (particles size index,
phytoplankton groups,  inherent optical
properties, particulate organic carbon, net
primary production), with  associated errors
(on a pixel by pixel basis), from existing and
improved ocean color  algorithms. Based on these
global maps, specific analyses will then be
performed.

Candidates should be suitably qualified (Phd
level) in Earth remote  sensing science.
Knowledge in marine optics and ocean color remote
sensing would be  greatly appreciated. Knowledge
of the linux environment is essential; knowledge
in C or  similar language is recommended,
experience in IDL or similar languages is also
appreciated.

Full CVs accompanied by the appropriate covering
letter and names and  e-mails of references, as
well as requests for additional information, are
to be  sent to Hubert Loisel
(Hubert.loisel at univ-littoral.fr) and David
Antoine  (antoine at obs-vlfr.fr).
