Job title PostDoc Position in Antarctic Krill Fishery Management Under Climate Change. Company Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity (HIFMB), in institutional cooperation between the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) and the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg. Description of the job The Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity (HIFMB) is seeking a PostDoc to investigate krill fishing activities before and after the expiration of conservation measure 51-07 in CCAMLR fishing area 48, in conjunction with existing conservation measures, including those implemented voluntarily by the fishing industry. HIFMB is a research institute located in Oldenburg that studies marine biodiversity and its importance for the function of marine ecosystems, the people linked to those ecosystems, and their governance. It was founded in 2017 as an institutional cooperation between the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, Helmholtz Centre for Polar...

Job title PhD Opportunity: Marine connectivity in a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a key factor for assuring climate change resilience in the marine ecosystems of East Africa. Company IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement) - MARBEC, France / Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI), Kenya. Description of the job The international MESCAL project is recruiting a PhD student to work on marine connectivity and climate change resilience across networks of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) along the East African coast. The PhD will focus on larval dispersal modelling to assess the climate change resilience of exploited marine fish populations, integrating genetic and physiological traits associated with climate resilience. Scientific Context: Climate change threatens the long-term sustainability of marine ecosystems. Although Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are recognized as an effective tool to protect harvested species and...

Job title PostDoc Position in Cellular Signaling in Photosymbiosis. Company Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity (HIFMB), in institutional cooperation between the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) and the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg. Description of the job HIFMB is seeking a curiosity-driven postdoctoral researcher to join the newly established Photosymbiosis Focus Group. The candidate will combine state-of-the-art OMICS approaches, cell biology, and advanced imaging to dissect the cellular signaling and regulatory networks that control photosymbiosis between cnidarian hosts and their microalgal symbionts. Photosymbioses between heterotrophic hosts and phototrophic endosymbionts have played central roles in the radiation of complex life and are critical to global nutrient cycles. Yet, global change is pushing these symbioses and the ecosystems they support to the brink of ecological collapse. This position is embedded in the...

Job title PostDoc Position in Southern Ocean Acoustics and Tourism Management.  Company Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity (HIFMB), in institutional cooperation between the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) and the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg. Description of the job The Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity (HIFMB) is seeking a PostDoc to investigate spatio-temporal overlaps in the presence of both human and marine mammal activities in the Southern Ocean, with a focus on the acoustic footprint of ships and the impact of Antarctic tourism on marine ecosystems. HIFMB is a research institute located in Oldenburg that studies marine biodiversity and its importance for the function of marine ecosystems, the people linked to those ecosystems, and their governance. It was founded in 2017 as an institutional cooperation between the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research...

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...

Job title Internship at the European Seaweed Association. Company European Seaweed Association (ESWA). Description of the job The European Seaweed Association (ESWA) is offering a challenging internship where the successful candidate can contribute to a sustainable and innovative European seaweed sector and play a part in the transition to a sustainable future with a new and versatile resource. ESWA is the representative body for the European seaweed industry. Seaweed has huge potential to make a positive contribution to global challenges. The organisation 1) represents the sector, 2) supports its member network and 3) promotes the seaweed sector on behalf of more than 130 member organisations from across Europe. In addition, ESWA manages the largest Offshore Test Site in Europe (twelve kilometres off the coast of Scheveningen) and the first seaweed farm in an offshore wind farm, NSF#1. Why Seaweed? Both the climate crisis and a growing world population...

Job title Postdoctoral Fellow in Coastal Tourism, Environmental Economics and Coastal Development. Company Coastal Social-Ecological Millennium Institute (SECOS). Description of the job The Coastal Social-Ecological Millennium Institute (SECOS) is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Coastal Development social-ecological systems (SES) research group. The position focuses on economic and social-ecological analyses of coastal development, tourism, biodiversity, climate change impacts, and nature-based solutions, combining quantitative economic methods with fieldwork in coastal social-ecological systems. SECOS Institute is formed by a multidisciplinary team of scientists from several Chilean universities, focused on coastal sustainability. The Institute's main objectives are to understand global, regional, and local drivers of change; the social-ecological conditions that hinder sustainability; and to test and implement actions that unravel such conditions. The...

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...
