Job title PhD Candidate in Biological Oceanography: Zooplankton and its role in the carbon pump. 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 fully funded PhD position for three years within an interdisciplinary research project focused on zooplankton ecology and its role in the oceanic biological carbon pump. Oceans have sequestered approximately 30–50% of anthropogenic CO₂ since the beginning of the industrial revolution, mitigating the rise in atmospheric CO₂ and, consequently, global warming. However, the mechanisms through which carbon is transported into the deep ocean remain poorly understood. The project will investigate how zooplankton contributes to carbon sequestration through vertical migrations, using a combination of optical and acoustic instruments to observe and...

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 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...

Job title PhD Opportunity: Advancing Plankton Imaging & Machine Learning to Transform Marine Biodiversity Monitoring. Company Marine Research Plymouth (University of Plymouth, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Marine Biological Association). Description of the job Marine Research Plymouth is offering a 3.5 year PhD studentship to advance plankton imaging and machine learning to transform marine biodiversity monitoring. The studentship is due to start on 1 October 2026. Plankton play essential roles in marine food webs and global carbon cycles, acting as sensitive indicators of environmental change and enabling predictions of climate impacts on ocean biodiversity. However, current plankton monitoring is insufficient, limiting the ability to detect biodiversity shifts, model ocean responses to climate stressors, and inform effective conservation policies. Although advances in imaging technologies have enhanced the spatio-temporal resolution of plankton sampling, these...

Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon The Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon conducts cutting-edge international research for a changing world: Around 1,000 employees contribute to the tackling of climate change, the sustainable use of the world's coastal systems and the resource-compatible enhancement of the quality of life. From fundamental research to practical applications, the interdisciplinary research spectrum covers a unique range. Institute of Coastal Systems Analysis and Modeling The Institute for Coastal Systems Analysis and Modeling studies the dynamics of coastal systems as part of the Earth system and develops prediction methods and future scenarios for coastal systems. One focus of our research is the study of coastal ecosystems, which are subject to increasing pressure to change due to climate change, use of coastal environments, and other human drivers.
