Job title PhD Position in Continental Slope Dynamics. Company The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), Arctic Geophysics Department. Description of the job The Arctic Geophysics department at UNIS offers a PhD position affiliated with the national research program Arctic Ocean 2050. The project will investigate the dynamical processes governing shelf–slope–basin coupling in the Arctic Ocean, focusing on eddies and their role in cross-slope transport to better characterize lateral fluxes of physical and biological properties. In the Arctic Ocean, exchanges of heat, salt, nutrients and organisms across ridges and between shelves and deep basins are driven by mesoscale eddies that link the warm Atlantic layer with colder shelf waters and shape the deep basins and Arctic halocline. However, mechanisms governing the eddy-driven cross-slope exchange remain poorly quantified. Mechanisms controlling water mass transformation and dense-water formation on the...

Job title PhD Position in Arctic Pelagic Ecology. Company The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), Arctic Biology Department. Description of the job The department for Arctic Biology at UNIS has a vacant PhD position in Arctic pelagic ecology, affiliated with the national research program Arctic Ocean 2050. UNIS, located in Longyearbyen at 78°N, is the world's northernmost institution for higher education, specializing in Arctic studies and using the environment as a natural laboratory for research and education. The successful applicant will work with zooplankton data from the High Arctic to address knowledge gaps in life history strategies, phenology and the distribution of key zooplankton species in the Arctic Ocean. The work will contribute to improving estimates of pelagic secondary production in the central Arctic Ocean and advancing the understanding of the role of key zooplankton species in the biological carbon pump. The PhD candidate will work...

Job title PhD Position in Arctic Water Quality Change as a Consequence of Permafrost Thaw. Company The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), Arctic Geology Department. Description of the job The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), located in Longyearbyen at 78°N, the world's northernmost institution for higher education, offers a PhD position investigating how permafrost thaw in shale-rich Arctic regions affects surface water quality, with a focus on Svalbard as a natural laboratory. As the active layer deepens due to climate warming, previously frozen pyrite-rich shales are exposed to oxidation. This process releases sulphuric acid, nutrients (e.g., ammonium and nitrate), trace metals (especially manganese and iron), mercury, and other solutes into surface waters. Admission to the doctoral program at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is a condition for the employment. The contract is four years including a year of required duties,...

Job title Doctoral Researcher / Ocean Modeller. Company Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), Marine Dynamics Group, Marine Research Unit. Description of the job The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) is seeking a doctoral researcher for a fixed-term contract in the Marine Dynamics Group of the Marine Research Unit. The main duties are in the DTO4OWE (Digital Twin of the Ocean for Offshore Wind Energy) project funded by the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership, which brings together institutes from 9 different countries to study Digital Twins of the Baltic and North Seas for Offshore Wind Energy. The main task is numerical modelling of the Baltic Sea to study the effects of offshore wind energy. This will include development and validation of the NEMO ocean model for the Baltic Sea. Other tasks can potentially include, depending on interests and skills, development of machine learning and deep learning based methods to assess the effects of offshore wind...

Job title PhD Candidate in Parasite and Plankton Behavioural Biology and Ecology. Company Department of Biology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Description of the job The Department of Biology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim offers a PhD position at the Marine Sciences section, within the research group "Fish parasites, health and welfare". The PhD project will focus on behaviour and ecophysiology of sea lice and selected zooplankton species. There is a large focus on the parasitic salmon louse, as it causes large problems for the Norwegian aquaculture industry. The group collaborates closely with the aquaculture industry through the "Research platform Taskforce salmon lice" and works with a variety of research projects. In addition to salmon lice, the group focuses on fish health and welfare, as well as zooplankton biology and ecology. The project will include methodological developments as well...

Job title Postdoctoral Researcher - Integrated Marine & Terrestrial Biorefinery Systems (Blue Pasture). Company Circular Bioeconomy Research Group, Munster Technological University (MTU), in collaboration with BIORBIC – Ireland's National Bioeconomy Research Centre. Description of the job The Circular Bioeconomy Research Group at Munster Technological University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher to take a senior technical role in the development and validation of integrated biorefinery systems for marine and terrestrial biomass. This position is part of Blue Pasture, a flagship, challenge-led research programme funded by Research Ireland's National Bioeconomy Research Centre BIORBIC, establishing Ireland's first integrated blue–green biorefinery framework, linking marine and terrestrial biomass. The successful candidate will contribute to process development, pilot translation and scale-up readiness as part of the BIORBIC challenge...
