Job title PhD Position in Ocean Dynamics and Climate Impacts from High-Resolution Models and Observations. Company Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) – Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Department of Geoscience and Remote Sensing, in collaboration with Alfred Wegener Institute (Germany). Description of the job A fully funded 4-year PhD position is now open at TU Delft in collaboration with the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI, Germany). The successful candidate will use cutting-edge high-resolution climate models and observations to uncover how Arctic Ocean circulation will evolve in the coming decades, and what this means for climate at lower latitudes. Over the past decades, the Arctic Ocean circulation has changed significantly, in part due to a large reduction in sea ice extent in the Northern hemisphere. The resulting ocean currents risk delivering a greater amount of fresh waters to the sub-Arctic regions, with potential impact on the...

Job title PhD in Impact of Grounded Icebergs. Company University of Southampton. Description of the job The University of Southampton is seeking a PhD researcher for a competition-funded project titled 'Impact of grounded icebergs on the oceanography and ecosystem of a sub-Antarctic island'. This opportunity is part of the IGNITE Doctoral Landscape Award and involves a world-class collaboration with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute (SAERI). The project will use numerical modelling tools to investigate the impact of grounded icebergs on the physical oceanography of the South Georgia (Southern Ocean) shelf and explore the consequences for the transport of Antarctic krill, a key prey item for local colonies of higher predators. As the climate warms, the number of icebergs reaching South Georgia is likely to increase; this project addresses a pressing need to better understand the consequences for the local...

Job title PhD Theses - BRIDGES Research Program. Company BRIDGES Research Program (CNRS, Ifremer, IRD). Description of the job The BRIDGES Research Program is offering at least nine PhD contracts to begin in the 2026 academic year. BRIDGES is an interdisciplinary research and scientific cooperation program aimed at identifying and developing solutions for biodiversity conservation and fair and sustainable fishing in the South-West Indian Ocean (SWIO). The program, supported by the France 2030 investment plan, works at the crossroads of marine environmental sciences and social sciences. During its ten-year duration from 2023 to 2033, BRIDGES explores how to design, link and implement spatial management tools, including marine protected areas, to ensure biodiversity conservation, food security, environmental justice and peaceful governance of fishery resources in a region where global changes are exacerbating tensions. The overall aim is to train a new...
