Job title PhD Scholarship in Ocean Carbon Flux Modelling. Company Centre for Fisheries Ecosystems Research (CFER), Fisheries & Marine Institute, Memorial University. Description of the job The Centre for Fisheries Ecosystems Research (CFER) is seeking a PhD Student to estimate carbon fluxes in the Northwest Atlantic from Earth system and ecosystem models. This position is part of Transforming Climate Action, a seven-year, $397 million collaboration among Dalhousie University, Laval University, Université du Québec à Rimouski, and Memorial University. The largest research theme within Transforming Climate Action is Reducing Uncertainties in Carbon Cycling in the Northwest Atlantic Seas (Uncertain Seas). The goal of Uncertain Seas is to better constrain the role of the ocean in the Earth's climate system by reducing uncertainties with physical and biogeochemical processes that control the global ocean carbon cycle. The focus is on the...

This is a one-year position, for a person resident in France, working remotely.  Project Context LandSeaLot - Land-Sea interface: Let’s observe together! is a Horizon Europe project (Feb. 2024 - Jan.2028) that seeks to integrate and enhance existing coastal observation efforts - including in-situ, satellite, modelling, and citizen science—to better study the land-sea interface area, where terrestrial and marine habitats meet. TransEurope Marinas, an Association Loi 1901, acts as a community engagement partner within the consortium, leveraging its extensive network to co-design monitoring strategies and test innovative, scalable solutions. Our work within the project aims to contribute to climate resilience, sustainable marina management and ocean literacy in marinas across Europe.   Role Overview: Bridging the "Usability Gap" The successful candidate will lead a dedicated study titled: 'Detecting, analysing & promoting sustainable citizen engagement in...

Job title Postdoc on Modelling Global Marine Phytoplankton-Virus Interactions.  Company University of Amsterdam, Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED), Department of Freshwater and Marine Ecology. Description of the job The Department of Freshwater and Marine Ecology at the University of Amsterdam is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the PHYVIR project, aimed at elucidating marine phytoplankton-virus interactions from local to global scales. The PHYVIR Project: One of the major challenges in oceanography is how to capture biological processes in mathematical models used for climate predictions. Despite their minute size, marine phytoplankton are vital for marine ecosystem productivity and play a key role in global carbon and nutrient cycling. However, like all life on Earth, phytoplankton are susceptible to viral infections. Viral-induced lysis of phytoplankton cells redirects the flow of energy and elements,...

Job title PhD Contract - Economic Feasibility and Market Opportunities for Industrial BFT Implementation. Company Kveloce. Description of the job Kveloce is offering a PhD position under the SwitchFloc Grant Agreement, a project funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks programme. The project aims to train the new generation of professionals in Biofloc Technology (BFT), an innovative and sustainable aquaculture system. About Biofloc Technology: Thanks to BFT, it is possible to recycle C and N waste into valuable biomass suitable to be used on-site as a nourishing food source, reducing the need for aquafeeds and enhancing animal immune system. The N conversion into microbial fraction allows minimal water exchange, reducing water requirements. Moreover, BFT ensures biosecurity due to the absence of communication among tanks. However, BFT is still a relatively new technology that needs to be better understood, mainly under intensive...

We're looking to take on three PhD students. If the below is of interest, please get in touch. Project description: The Greenshell™ mussel industry is New Zealand’s largest aquaculture sector. Despite its success, future growth and production are constrained by the inefficient use of very small seed mussels (“spat”). Our previous research has shown that deploying larger spat can substantially reduce on-farm losses and significantly improve production efficiency. We are seeking three PhD candidates to join a collaborative research programme aimed at overcoming these bottlenecks and transforming the way mussels are farmed in New Zealand. Two PhD projects will focus on developing and optimizing husbandry practices for commercial mussel nursery systems, working closely with industry partners. The third PhD project will develop scalable, commercial approaches for separating small mussel spat from spat collectors, providing high-quality seed for nursery culture....

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...
