Our research spans from couplings between climate change and biogeochemical cycles (atmosphere-land-ocean) to the sources, transport and effects of environmental contaminants. The department consists of four units with more than 170 researchers, PhD students, technical and administrative staff from over 30 countries. We are deeply engaged also in the Bolin Centre for Climate Research, a national center of excellence that facilitates research, teaching and outreach related to the Earth’s climate across disciplines. For more information about us, please visit https://www.su.se/department-of-environmental-science/.Research in the Biogeochemistry Unit focuses on the cycles of carbon, nutrients and trace metals on land, in water and in the atmosphere, and their interaction with human activities and climate. The unit has a strong and long-standing research focus on the impact of global warming on Arctic environments with the overarching goal to improve the systems understanding and future projections of biogeochemical cycles in this system.Homepage: https://www.su.se/department-of-environmental-science/LocationStockholm, SwedenSectorAcademicRelevant divisionsBiogeosciences (BG)Cryospheric Sciences (CR)Ocean Sciences (OS)TypeFull timeLevelExperiencedSalarySalary is negotiatedRequired educationPhDApplication deadline6 November 2025Posted20 October 2025Job DescriptionI am currently recruiting three post docs at Stockholm University, focusing on different aspects of Arctic Ocean methane:Subsea permafrost and methane: This post doc will focus on the role of subsea permafrost as a source, sink and conduit of methane, using numerical modelling.
