Job title PhD Candidate in Biological Oceanography: Zooplankton and its role in the carbon pump. Company Department of Biology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Description of the job The Department of Biology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim offers a fully funded PhD position for three years within an interdisciplinary research project focused on zooplankton ecology and its role in the oceanic biological carbon pump. Oceans have sequestered approximately 30–50% of anthropogenic CO₂ since the beginning of the industrial revolution, mitigating the rise in atmospheric CO₂ and, consequently, global warming. However, the mechanisms through which carbon is transported into the deep ocean remain poorly understood. The project will investigate how zooplankton contributes to carbon sequestration through vertical migrations, using a combination of optical and acoustic instruments to observe and...

Job title Doctoral Researcher / Ocean Modeller. Company Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), Marine Dynamics Group, Marine Research Unit. Description of the job The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) is seeking a doctoral researcher for a fixed-term contract in the Marine Dynamics Group of the Marine Research Unit. The main duties are in the DTO4OWE (Digital Twin of the Ocean for Offshore Wind Energy) project funded by the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership, which brings together institutes from 9 different countries to study Digital Twins of the Baltic and North Seas for Offshore Wind Energy. The main task is numerical modelling of the Baltic Sea to study the effects of offshore wind energy. This will include development and validation of the NEMO ocean model for the Baltic Sea. Other tasks can potentially include, depending on interests and skills, development of machine learning and deep learning based methods to assess the effects of offshore wind...

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 Scholarship in Ocean Carbon Flux Modelling. Company Centre for Fisheries Ecosystems Research (CFER), Fisheries & Marine Institute, Memorial University. Description of the job The Centre for Fisheries Ecosystems Research (CFER) is seeking a PhD Student to estimate carbon fluxes in the Northwest Atlantic from Earth system and ecosystem models. This position is part of Transforming Climate Action, a seven-year, $397 million collaboration among Dalhousie University, Laval University, Université du Québec à Rimouski, and Memorial University. The largest research theme within Transforming Climate Action is Reducing Uncertainties in Carbon Cycling in the Northwest Atlantic Seas (Uncertain Seas). The goal of Uncertain Seas is to better constrain the role of the ocean in the Earth's climate system by reducing uncertainties with physical and biogeochemical processes that control the global ocean carbon cycle. The focus is on the...

This is a one-year position, for a person resident in France, working remotely.  Project Context LandSeaLot - Land-Sea interface: Let’s observe together! is a Horizon Europe project (Feb. 2024 - Jan.2028) that seeks to integrate and enhance existing coastal observation efforts - including in-situ, satellite, modelling, and citizen science—to better study the land-sea interface area, where terrestrial and marine habitats meet. TransEurope Marinas, an Association Loi 1901, acts as a community engagement partner within the consortium, leveraging its extensive network to co-design monitoring strategies and test innovative, scalable solutions. Our work within the project aims to contribute to climate resilience, sustainable marina management and ocean literacy in marinas across Europe.   Role Overview: Bridging the "Usability Gap" The successful candidate will lead a dedicated study titled: 'Detecting, analysing & promoting sustainable citizen engagement in...

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...
