Job title PhD Studentship in Cumulative Impacts of Environmental Changes on Atlantic Salmon Ecology, Population Trends and Survival. Company Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS). Description of the job The Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) is seeking a curious and passionate PhD student to study the cumulative impacts of environmental changes on Atlantic salmon ecology, population trends, and survival. This work will contribute directly to protecting and preserving wild salmon populations in a changing climate. Natural and anthropogenic threats to freshwater habitat lead to challenges for Atlantic Salmon survival resulting in population declines. Salmon rivers are subject to a variety of cumulative habitat impacts due to development and environmental changes in their freshwater watersheds. To provide management tools for the conservation and preservation of the species, this project will analyze historical and projected flow...

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...

Job title Marine Scientific Research Internship. Company International Seabed Authority (ISA). Description of the job The International Seabed Authority (ISA) seeks 2 to 5 highly motivated interns to support the promotion and facilitation of marine deep-sea research activities within the Office of Stewardship, Environment and Resources (OSER). The ISA Internship Programme offers students and recent graduates the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and insight into the work of ISA. This call for marine scientific research internships is recurring and aims to establish a small team of interns to support deep-sea research initiatives aligned with the mandate set forth by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) for ISA to promote and encourage the conduct of marine scientific research in the Area.

Job title PhD Studentship: Developing and Evaluating Design Criteria to End Microplastic Pollution (End-Microplastic). Company University of Plymouth – Marine Institute, International Marine Litter Research Unit. Description of the job Applications are invited for a 3.5 year PhD studentship with the Marine Institute at the University of Plymouth, due to start on 1 October 2026. Plymouth has been at the forefront of global marine research for more than a century, and today it is home to the largest concentration of marine researchers in the UK. Textile fibres and tyre wear particles are among the most ubiquitous types of microplastic contaminating habitats from the poles to the equator and from the deepest oceans to the top of Mt Everest. Toxicological effects have been shown for both types of microplastic. This studentship will identify approaches to reduce emissions and make emissions safer, guiding the way towards safer and more sustainable production of...

The Renewables Grid Initiative is a unique collaboration between NGOs and transmission system operators (TSOs) from across Europe, engaging in an ‘energy transition ecosystem- of-actors’. We promote fair, transparent and sustainable grid development to enable the growth of renewables to achieve full decarbonisation in line with the Paris Agreement. At RGI, we are convinced that the energy, climate and biodiversity crises can and should be tackled in parallel. In this context, we are increasing our activities related to the protection and restoration of nature in connection with the energy transition – particularly the deployment of renewable energy sources (RES) and electricity grids, both on land and at sea. In 2020, RGI established a multi-stakeholder platform called the Offshore Coalition for Energy and Nature ( OCEaN ). OCEaN brings together NGOs, wind industry actors, and grid operators active in the North and Baltic seas, with the aim of finding sustainable solutions to...
