Job title Postdoctoral Fellow in Seaweed Hydrodynamics. Company Department of Marine Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Description of the job The Department of Marine Technology at NTNU offers a 3-year postdoctoral position in the field of hydrodynamic loads on seaweed and macro algae. The application of the research is towards industrialization of seaweed production in general, and design of floating seaweed production facilities in particular. The main cost of a seaweed farm is the longlines, which there may be hundreds of kilometers of. The seaweed grows on the longlines and is exposed to waves and current at various stages of growth. The hydroelastic behaviour of the seaweed is not sufficiently well understood, and hence there are no good hydrodynamic load models. The purpose of this work is to increase the understanding of longlines with seaweed under sea loads and develop accountable hydrodynamic load models. The position...

Job title PhD Position ReefWatchers: Advancing Marine Ecosystem Assessment through Integrated Multi-Source Biodiversity Data. Company Wageningen University & Research (WUR), Marine Animal Ecology Group, in collaboration with the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), Delft University, Boskalis, Guardline, Waardenburg Ecology, Oyster Heaven and Ark Nature. Description of the job Wageningen University & Research offers a PhD position within the ReefWatchers project, funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), which aims to deliver science-based knowledge and tools to advance the monitoring of marine ecosystem biodiversity and quality. As a PhD candidate, you will work with biodiversity data collected by remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) equipped with multiple sensors, including imaging systems, acoustic devices, and eDNA sampling technologies, as well as various physical sampling tools. You will integrate diverse data...

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...
