To strengthen the team, we look for a postdoc with competence and experience in measuring, interpreting and modelling turbulence in stratified natural waters. We also expect background in data analysis, profound knowledge in freshwater sciences and fieldwork experience. /ppThe applicant’s main responsibility will be the acquisition and analysis of data relevant to fluxes related to the primary production project and, in particular, to the handling of our VMP‐500 microstructure profiler ( which can be operated from the newly‐built LéXPLORE Research Platform( This infrastructure enables in‐situ measurements at unprecedented frequencies and allows a better linkage between lake‐internal ecosystem processes and large‐scale forcing (visit APHYS website: Your readiness to collaborate with related partners (see above) is important.
