Job title PhD Position: Impact of Offshore Windfarm on Marine Foodwebs. Company Naturalis Biodiversity Center. Description of the job Naturalis Biodiversity Center offers a PhD position within the No Regrets project, which aims to deliver science-based knowledge and tools that enable a sustainable transition to offshore energy. As a PhD candidate, you will focus on reconstructing the North Sea foodweb with an emphasis on molecular tools such as DNA metabarcoding. Offshore wind energy is expanding rapidly in the North Sea. This expansion offers climate solutions but also results in unprecedented ecological challenges. There is a large gap in knowledge on the effects of offshore windfarms on the North Sea foodweb dynamics. Potential ecological consequences include changes in water currents which impact nutrient dynamics, turbidity, light levels, intensity and timing of primary production and larval transport, all of which will be reflected in foodweb dynamics....

Job title PhD Opportunity: Advancing Plankton Imaging & Machine Learning to Transform Marine Biodiversity Monitoring. Company Marine Research Plymouth (University of Plymouth, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Marine Biological Association). Description of the job Marine Research Plymouth is offering a 3.5 year PhD studentship to advance plankton imaging and machine learning to transform marine biodiversity monitoring. The studentship is due to start on 1 October 2026. Plankton play essential roles in marine food webs and global carbon cycles, acting as sensitive indicators of environmental change and enabling predictions of climate impacts on ocean biodiversity. However, current plankton monitoring is insufficient, limiting the ability to detect biodiversity shifts, model ocean responses to climate stressors, and inform effective conservation policies. Although advances in imaging technologies have enhanced the spatio-temporal resolution of plankton sampling, these...

Job title Paid Summer Environmental Interns & Seasonal Associate Scientists. Company Cummins Cederberg - Coastal & Marine Engineering. Description of the job Cummins Cederberg is hiring Paid Summer Environmental Interns and Seasonal Associate Scientists to support coastal and marine environmental projects throughout Florida.
