Job title PhD Scholarship in Experimental Ecophysiology and Biology of Lumpsucker. Company DTU Aqua - National Institute of Aquatic Resources, Technical University of Denmark. Description of the job DTU Aqua is offering a fully funded 3-year PhD position within the newly established project NOW-LUMP, funded by Seabreak. The project aims to build fundamental knowledge on the biology and environmental tolerance of the lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus) — a culturally and ecologically important species that has undergone a severe population decline in Scandinavian waters. The successful candidate will join a supportive and dynamic research environment at DTU Aqua. The PhD will be based in the Section for Marine Living Resources as part of the Fish Biology research group. The PhD will be supervised by Senior Researcher Jane W. Behrens (fish ecophysiologist) and co-supervised by Researcher Ole Henriksen (fisheries biologist) and Professor Karin Hüssy (fish...

Job title PhD Opportunity: Hydrodynamics of Co-Located Offshore Wind and Mariculture Platforms. Company University of Tasmania, Australian Maritime College, in partnership with Blue Economy CRC. Description of the job The University of Tasmania is offering a PhD position to investigate the hydrodynamic interactions and loading conditions between offshore seaweed production facilities and floating offshore wind turbine structures. The project is supervised by Dr Damon Howe at the Australian Maritime College. Seaweed production in the offshore environment has gained significant attention from commercial entities, research institutions, and government agencies in recent years due to the products and environmental impact that could be achieved if produced on mass. Simultaneously, the offshore wind industry in Australia has gained exceptional momentum with several offshore wind zones being developed along the south-east coastline. Co-locating seaweed production with...

Job title PhD Studentship in Marine Ecosystem Net Value of Decommissioning Offshore Infrastructure. Company University of Aberdeen, School of Biological Sciences. Description of the job The University of Aberdeen is seeking a highly motivated PhD student to investigate the marine ecosystem net value of decommissioning offshore infrastructure, focusing on quantifying the ecosystem services disbenefit of residual mercury contamination and the benefit of its removal. The use of marine ecosystems is changing to achieve net zero targets in the face of climate change, with the decommissioning of petroleum platforms and the installation of wind farms. Contaminants associated with oil and gas platform cuttings piles or pipelines may become available for uptake, accumulating through the food web. Mercury is a naturally occurring metal associated with petroleum extraction and found in many North Sea fields. Mercury compounds are found as scale and residue inside pipes and...
