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 Researcher in Underwater Passive Acoustics and Marine Bioacoustics. Company University of the Aegean (UoA), Department of Marine Sciences, Research Unit. Description of the job The Research Unit of the University of the Aegean seeks a First Stage Researcher (R1-MSc) with experience in underwater passive acoustics and good understanding of bioacoustics. The researcher will contribute to the implementation of the LIFE MareNatura project (LIFE22-NAT-EL-LIFE-MareNatura/101113792), co-funded by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA). The position focuses on the analysis of long-term passive acoustic data from autonomous fixed recorders and from short-term hydrophone deployments. The work includes extraction of underwater noise metrics, detection of cetacean and other marine fauna sounds, and characterization of the underwater soundscape. Analysis of concurrent acoustic and video data will also be needed. The selected...

Job title Researcher in Marine Biology and Pinna nobilis Conservation. Company University of the Aegean (UoA), Department of Marine Sciences, Research Unit. Description of the job The Research Unit of the University of the Aegean seeks a First Stage Researcher (R1-MSc) in the subject of Biology with experience in Marine Biology and Ecology. The researcher will contribute to the conservation and recovery of Pinna nobilis in Greek waters through integrated field, monitoring, and restoration activities within the LIFE24-NAT-ES-PINNACARE project, funded by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA). The position will involve updating and evaluating optimal conservation sites and conducting long-term monitoring of transplanted and tagged juveniles in the Amvrakikos Gulf and the gulfs of Kalloni and Gera in Lesvos Island, including assessments of survival, growth, and environmental conditions using in-situ measurements and continuous...

Job title Postdoctoral Researcher - Integrated Marine & Terrestrial Biorefinery Systems (Blue Pasture). Company Circular Bioeconomy Research Group, Munster Technological University (MTU), in collaboration with BIORBIC – Ireland's National Bioeconomy Research Centre. Description of the job The Circular Bioeconomy Research Group at Munster Technological University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher to take a senior technical role in the development and validation of integrated biorefinery systems for marine and terrestrial biomass. This position is part of Blue Pasture, a flagship, challenge-led research programme funded by Research Ireland's National Bioeconomy Research Centre BIORBIC, establishing Ireland's first integrated blue–green biorefinery framework, linking marine and terrestrial biomass.

Job title Postdoc on Modelling Global Marine Phytoplankton-Virus Interactions.  Company University of Amsterdam, Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED), Department of Freshwater and Marine Ecology. Description of the job The Department of Freshwater and Marine Ecology at the University of Amsterdam is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the PHYVIR project, aimed at elucidating marine phytoplankton-virus interactions from local to global scales. The PHYVIR Project: One of the major challenges in oceanography is how to capture biological processes in mathematical models used for climate predictions. Despite their minute size, marine phytoplankton are vital for marine ecosystem productivity and play a key role in global carbon and nutrient cycling. However, like all life on Earth, phytoplankton are susceptible to viral infections. Viral-induced lysis of phytoplankton cells redirects the flow of energy and elements,...
