Job title PhD Opportunity: Rogue Waves and Non-Stationary Sea States. Company University of Manchester - Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. Description of the job The University of Manchester seeks a PhD candidate to explore how rapidly changing ocean conditions can be captured through a new description of the wave spectrum. This fully funded PhD position is offered as part of the FSE Bicentenary PhD programme. Although the spectrum has been the cornerstone of offshore engineering and oceanography for decades, traditional approaches assume sea states remain stationary, smoothing out the fast and often violent evolution of waves generated by atmospheric storms and masking the conditions under which rogue waves emerge. Building on recent advances in machine learning and data-driven modelling, the project will develop a dynamic, non-stationary spectrum that tracks the ocean in real time. You will design and test new machine learning-based methods,...

Job title PhD in Deep-Sea Genomics and Biodiversity Discovery. Company The University of Western Australia - Minderoo OceanOmics Centre at UWA. Description of the job The University of Western Australia seeks a motivated PhD candidate to join the Minderoo OceanOmics Centre (UWA Oceans Institute) for a PhD focused on pushing the limits of environmental DNA (eDNA) in deep-sea environments. Context: The deep sea harbours the majority of Earth's biosphere yet remains underrepresented in genomics and biodiversity datasets and reference data repositories. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has transformed biodiversity assessment, but its efficacy in the deep sea is constrained by two key limitations: (1) reference DNA sequence databases are sparsely populated for deep-sea taxa and (2) primer sets not optimised for targeting deep-sea taxa. As a result, much of the signal that is recovered using traditional eDNA metabarcoding approaches remains unclassified or...
