Job title PhD Position ReefWatchers: Advancing Marine Ecosystem Assessment through Integrated Multi-Source Biodiversity Data. Company Wageningen University & Research (WUR), Marine Animal Ecology Group, in collaboration with the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), Delft University, Boskalis, Guardline, Waardenburg Ecology, Oyster Heaven and Ark Nature. Description of the job Wageningen University & Research offers a PhD position within the ReefWatchers project, funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), which aims to deliver science-based knowledge and tools to advance the monitoring of marine ecosystem biodiversity and quality. As a PhD candidate, you will work with biodiversity data collected by remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) equipped with multiple sensors, including imaging systems, acoustic devices, and eDNA sampling technologies, as well as various physical sampling tools. You will integrate diverse data...

At iMARES (ICM‑CSIC), we offer a research internship for bachelor’s or master’s students interested in marine spatial planning, biodiversity conservation, and geospatial ecological analysis. The project will develop a standardized workflow to identify Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas (EBSAs) in two major climate‑change hotspots: the Western Mediterranean Sea and the Eastern & Central Tropical Pacific. Using ecological and oceanographic datasets, the study will generate spatial products that highlight areas of high ecological value, regions of vulnerability or productivity, and priority zones for conservation planning. The student will analyse geospatial data, apply EBSA criteria, and explore multiple spatial prioritization scenarios to produce comparable outputs across ocean basins. The internship provides hands‑on training in R programming, ecological data analysis and geospatial modelling, while working closely with researchers in an...
