At iMARES (ICM‑CSIC), we offer a research internship for bachelor’s or master’s students interested in movement ecology, quantitative modelling and spatial ecology. The project evaluates how different preprocessing strategies affect Species Distribution Models (SDMs) built from animal tracking data, where consecutive locations are not statistically independent. The study will compare spatial, temporal and spatio‑temporal subsampling methods with data‑weighting approaches that account for autocorrelation, using both simulated and real tracking datasets combined with environmental covariates. The student will assess which strategies provide robust ecological inference and practical guidance for applying SDMs to conservation and wildlife management. The internship offers training in handling tracking and environmental datasets, R‑based SDM modelling, and reproducible analytical workflows, within a collaborative research environment. Requirements: University...

At iMARES (ICM‑CSIC), we offer a research internship for bachelor’s or master’s students interested in ecosystem modelling, climate‑change impacts and marine ecology. The project uses mechanistic Marine Ecosystem Models (MEMs) to investigate how ocean warming and extreme events shape food‑web dynamics in Bass Strait (southeastern Australia), a well‑known climate‑change hotspot. The study focuses on the little penguin ( Eudyptula minor ), a key mid‑trophic predator, and evaluates how rising temperatures and marine heatwaves cascade through the food web to influence penguin populations. The student will update and apply an existing MEM to assess historical trends and explore future climate scenarios, helping to distinguish long‑term environmental effects from acute extreme‑event impacts. The internship provides hands‑on training in process‑based ecosystem modelling, R‑based analysis, climate‑scenario evaluation and quantitative ecological interpretation within a...

At iMARES (ICM‑CSIC), we offer a research internship for bachelor’s or master’s students interested in marine spatial planning, biodiversity conservation, and geospatial ecological analysis. The project will develop a standardized workflow to identify Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas (EBSAs) in two major climate‑change hotspots: the Western Mediterranean Sea and the Eastern & Central Tropical Pacific. Using ecological and oceanographic datasets, the study will generate spatial products that highlight areas of high ecological value, regions of vulnerability or productivity, and priority zones for conservation planning. The student will analyse geospatial data, apply EBSA criteria, and explore multiple spatial prioritization scenarios to produce comparable outputs across ocean basins. The internship provides hands‑on training in R programming, ecological data analysis and geospatial modelling, while working closely with researchers in an...

At iMARES (ICM‑CSIC), we offer a research internship for bachelor’s or master’s students interested in trophic ecology, conservation science and ecological data analysis. The project examines whether no‑take Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) lead to measurable changes in the diet, trophic role and predator–prey interactions of selected fish species. The study will compile and clean dietary and community datasets (stomach contents, stable isotopes, eDNA and visual surveys), and quantify differences in diet composition, niche breadth, trophic overlap and, when possible, trophic position inside versus outside MPAs. The student will follow a structured workflow that includes designing the comparative framework, computing trophic metrics, running statistical analyses, and generating reproducible outputs for management evaluation. The internship provides training in R‑based ecological analysis, trophic metrics, reproducible workflows, database management, and complementary field...

At iMARES (ICM‑CSIC), we offer a research internship for bachelor’s or master’s students interested in urban ecology, wildlife behaviour and eco‑physiology. The project investigates the ecological drivers behind the success of the yellow‑legged gull in cities and the consequences of its increasing reliance on human‑dominated environments. The study will integrate fieldwork (capture, GPS tagging, sample collection and behavioural observations), laboratory analyses (physiology, zoonotic pathogens and urban contaminants) and statistical modelling. The student will examine habitat selection, interactions with human activities, physiological condition, pathogen prevalence, contaminant loads and diet composition to understand how this “winner species” adapts to urban ecosystems. The internship offers training in field techniques, lab workflows, ecological data analysis and interdisciplinary approaches to wildlife research in human‑impacted environments. Requirements:...

At iMARES (ICM‑CSIC), we offer a research internship for bachelor’s or master’s students interested in trophic ecology, stable isotope analysis and marine fish life‑history reconstruction. The project uses δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N from sequential layers of fish eye lenses to trace lifetime changes in diet and habitat use in pelagic species of the Western Mediterranean. The study will analyse ontogenetic dietary shifts, quantify individual specialisation using isotopic variance components, and identify when and how individuals transition among prey fields and habitats. With an extensive dataset already available, the student will work with eye‑lens isotope chronologies to infer trophic trajectories and support assessments of population flexibility and vulnerability under environmental change. The internship provides training in stable isotope data processing, R‑based ecological analysis, quantitative modelling, and sample preparation (lens extraction and material processing),...
