Job title PhD Opportunity: Marine connectivity in a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a key factor for assuring climate change resilience in the marine ecosystems of East Africa. Company IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement) - MARBEC, France / Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI), Kenya. Description of the job The international MESCAL project is recruiting a PhD student to work on marine connectivity and climate change resilience across networks of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) along the East African coast. The PhD will focus on larval dispersal modelling to assess the climate change resilience of exploited marine fish populations, integrating genetic and physiological traits associated with climate resilience. Scientific Context: Climate change threatens the long-term sustainability of marine ecosystems. Although Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are recognized as an effective tool to protect harvested species and...

Job title PhD Scholarship in Ocean Carbon Flux Modelling. Company Centre for Fisheries Ecosystems Research (CFER), Fisheries & Marine Institute, Memorial University. Description of the job The Centre for Fisheries Ecosystems Research (CFER) is seeking a PhD Student to estimate carbon fluxes in the Northwest Atlantic from Earth system and ecosystem models. This position is part of Transforming Climate Action, a seven-year, $397 million collaboration among Dalhousie University, Laval University, Université du Québec à Rimouski, and Memorial University. The largest research theme within Transforming Climate Action is Reducing Uncertainties in Carbon Cycling in the Northwest Atlantic Seas (Uncertain Seas). The goal of Uncertain Seas is to better constrain the role of the ocean in the Earth's climate system by reducing uncertainties with physical and biogeochemical processes that control the global ocean carbon cycle. The focus is on the...

Job title PhD Contract - Economic Feasibility and Market Opportunities for Industrial BFT Implementation. Company Kveloce. Description of the job Kveloce is offering a PhD position under the SwitchFloc Grant Agreement, a project funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks programme. The project aims to train the new generation of professionals in Biofloc Technology (BFT), an innovative and sustainable aquaculture system. About Biofloc Technology: Thanks to BFT, it is possible to recycle C and N waste into valuable biomass suitable to be used on-site as a nourishing food source, reducing the need for aquafeeds and enhancing animal immune system. The N conversion into microbial fraction allows minimal water exchange, reducing water requirements. Moreover, BFT ensures biosecurity due to the absence of communication among tanks. However, BFT is still a relatively new technology that needs to be better understood, mainly under intensive...

Job title Internship at the European Seaweed Association. Company European Seaweed Association (ESWA). Description of the job The European Seaweed Association (ESWA) is offering a challenging internship where the successful candidate can contribute to a sustainable and innovative European seaweed sector and play a part in the transition to a sustainable future with a new and versatile resource. ESWA is the representative body for the European seaweed industry. Seaweed has huge potential to make a positive contribution to global challenges. The organisation 1) represents the sector, 2) supports its member network and 3) promotes the seaweed sector on behalf of more than 130 member organisations from across Europe. In addition, ESWA manages the largest Offshore Test Site in Europe (twelve kilometres off the coast of Scheveningen) and the first seaweed farm in an offshore wind farm, NSF#1. Why Seaweed? Both the climate crisis and a growing world population...

Job title Postdoctoral Fellow in Coastal Tourism, Environmental Economics and Coastal Development. Company Coastal Social-Ecological Millennium Institute (SECOS). Description of the job The Coastal Social-Ecological Millennium Institute (SECOS) is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Coastal Development social-ecological systems (SES) research group. The position focuses on economic and social-ecological analyses of coastal development, tourism, biodiversity, climate change impacts, and nature-based solutions, combining quantitative economic methods with fieldwork in coastal social-ecological systems. SECOS Institute is formed by a multidisciplinary team of scientists from several Chilean universities, focused on coastal sustainability. The Institute's main objectives are to understand global, regional, and local drivers of change; the social-ecological conditions that hinder sustainability; and to test and implement actions that unravel such conditions. The...
