ESA Living Planet Fellowship call for proposals 2025

ESA invites young researchers in ESA Member States to submit scientific proposals to the Living Planet Fellowship Call 2025. The LPF aims at supporting the new generation of scientists in ESA Member States to undertake cutting-edge research in Earth Observation and Earth System and Climate Science that may maximise the scientific impact of ESA missions and European EO capacity and respond to the main challenges of the new ESA Earth Observation Science Strategy.

Deadline for submissions (Step 1): 14 November 2025

Postdoctoral Scientist at Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Germany

The MPI-M invites applications for a 3-year position as a Postdoctoral Scientist within the CLICCS project to investigate the impact of tropical deforestation on precipitation under a warming climate making use of km-scale climate simulations. The project aims to advance our fundamental understanding of the processes that control the tropical precipitation distribution, with a particular emphasis on the resilience of tropical precipitation to perturbations. To that aim, simulations will be conducted using the ICON Earth System Model in its Sapphire configuration, using a grid spacing of 10-km (or finer). Past research has shown that precipitation in this type of simulation is much more resilient to deforestation over the Amazon, at least in present-day climate, questioning the existence of a tipping behavior of the Amazon forest.

Scientist to review marine biogeochemical observing requirements and use them to feed ocean metrics at the Institute of Oceanology Polish Academy of Sciences

The Large-Scale Processes Team of the Department of Marine Chemistry & Biogeochemistry at the Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IO PAN) is offering a fixed- term, full-time scientist position in the field of marine biogeochemistry defined by Biogeochemical Essential Ocean Variables (BGC EOVs). The position is funded by the Horizon Europe BioGeoSea project. The overall aim of BioGeoSea is to significantly close the gaps in the GOOS BGC EOVs, validate them, and use them to feed ocean metrics in the form of indicators and data products that reflect their relevance to the society. This aim includes significantly updating BGC EOV Specification Sheets (SS) to enhance their usefulness for a variety of identified stakeholders. It also includes engaging with the World Meteorological Organization’s processes, ensuring that requirements for BGC EOV observations are embedded in the WMO Integrated Global Observing System.

Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Climate Forecasting at Oxford University

The Atmospheric Physics team is looking for an enthusiastic Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join our research groups “Predictability of Weather and Climate” and “Climate Dynamics” at the Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics (AOPP) sub-department of the department of Physics, at the University of Oxford.

The post will address a significant problem in climate forecasting known as the Signal-to-Noise Paradox (SNP). The SNP indicates that real-world predictability is often higher than models suggest, implying that the predictable signals in the forecast models are underestimated and posing a challenge for reliable climate forecasting. The aim of the project is to develop innovative solutions to better understand and correct the SNP, improving climate predictions for the Euro-Atlantic region and beyond.
