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 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.

Job title PhD Position: Impact of Offshore Windfarm on Marine Foodwebs. Company Naturalis Biodiversity Center. Description of the job Naturalis Biodiversity Center offers a PhD position within the No Regrets project, which aims to deliver science-based knowledge and tools that enable a sustainable transition to offshore energy. As a PhD candidate, you will focus on reconstructing the North Sea foodweb with an emphasis on molecular tools such as DNA metabarcoding. Offshore wind energy is expanding rapidly in the North Sea. This expansion offers climate solutions but also results in unprecedented ecological challenges. There is a large gap in knowledge on the effects of offshore windfarms on the North Sea foodweb dynamics. Potential ecological consequences include changes in water currents which impact nutrient dynamics, turbidity, light levels, intensity and timing of primary production and larval transport, all of which will be reflected in foodweb dynamics....

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 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...
