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 in Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines. Company BW Ideol, in collaboration with LHEEA - Ecole Centrale Nantes. Description of the job BW Ideol and LHEEA - Ecole Centrale Nantes are offering an internship position focused on Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis for the calculation of hydrodynamic loads and performances of the BW-Ideol Damping-Pool barge floating wind turbine in waves. Context: Floating Wind Turbine (FWT) foundations are subjected to significant dynamic loads and motions due to severe environmental conditions that characterize the sites where they are generally installed. Among these, wave-induced loads and motions represent a major contribution. The FWT foundation developed by BW Ideol is a barge characterized by a small draft and freeboard, the presence of a central opening (Damping Pool) and, optionally, a damping plate installed around the perimeter of the platform at its...
