Technician in Physical Oceanography (f/d/m/x)

The Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research is a research facility supported by the Federal Republic of Germany, the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen and the Länder of Brandenburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony with around 1,400 employees. In a broad multidisciplinary approach, we conduct polar and marine research and, in conjunction with numerous university and non-university research institutions, make an important contribution to global environmental, earth system and paleoclimate research. Technicians:in der Physikalische Ozeanographie (w/d/m/x) Background The Physics Oceanography section explores the influence of climatic conditions and changes in the North Polar Sea and in the South Ocean on marine flows, changes in sea ice cover, ice shields and marine ecosystems. Our research is based on experiments and the operation of long-term observatories in the ocean. A large number of sensors are used on different platforms. We are looking for support for the preparation, implementation and preparation of our measurement programs on board research ships such as the Polarstern research icebreaker.
