Job title PhD Position in Continental Slope Dynamics. Company The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), Arctic Geophysics Department. Description of the job The Arctic Geophysics department at UNIS offers a PhD position affiliated with the national research program Arctic Ocean 2050. The project will investigate the dynamical processes governing shelf–slope–basin coupling in the Arctic Ocean, focusing on eddies and their role in cross-slope transport to better characterize lateral fluxes of physical and biological properties. In the Arctic Ocean, exchanges of heat, salt, nutrients and organisms across ridges and between shelves and deep basins are driven by mesoscale eddies that link the warm Atlantic layer with colder shelf waters and shape the deep basins and Arctic halocline. However, mechanisms governing the eddy-driven cross-slope exchange remain poorly quantified. Mechanisms controlling water mass transformation and dense-water formation on the...

Job title PhD Position in Arctic Water Quality Change as a Consequence of Permafrost Thaw. Company The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), Arctic Geology Department. Description of the job The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), located in Longyearbyen at 78°N, the world's northernmost institution for higher education, offers a PhD position investigating how permafrost thaw in shale-rich Arctic regions affects surface water quality, with a focus on Svalbard as a natural laboratory. As the active layer deepens due to climate warming, previously frozen pyrite-rich shales are exposed to oxidation. This process releases sulphuric acid, nutrients (e.g., ammonium and nitrate), trace metals (especially manganese and iron), mercury, and other solutes into surface waters. Admission to the doctoral program at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is a condition for the employment. The contract is four years including a year of required duties,...

Job title PhD in Marine Technology – Response Estimation and Wave Prediction for Offshore Wind Farm Installation and Operations. 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 PhD position focused on response estimation based on remote distributed sensing of the wave field in an offshore wind park, in combination with metocean forecasting data. Cost- and risk-optimal installation and operation of offshore wind farms depend on accurate forecasts and predictions of environmental conditions and response of vessel and auxiliary systems. Improved sea-state and wave prediction can lead to real-time solutions for prediction of motion responses and wave loads during installation tasks such as turbine/blade installation as well as mooring and cable installation. The research task will further investigate exploitation of such methods for...

Job title PhD in Integrated Wind Turbine Modelling Tools for Drivetrain Health Monitoring. 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 PhD position focused on developing near real-time hybrid, data-driven models considering the whole offshore wind turbine system and environmental loading for early fault detection in drivetrains. An offshore wind turbine installation is the result of a two-stage design process. As turbines get larger, the interaction between machinery and structure becomes more important. It is common practice to use a very simplified model of drivetrain in global analysis tools and ignore the coupling effects, often due to model complexity. This project is based on earlier experience in drivetrain and global models, aiming to build near real-time hybrid, data-driven models considering the whole system and...

At iMARES (ICM‑CSIC), we offer a research internship for bachelor’s or master’s students interested in movement ecology, quantitative modelling and spatial ecology. The project evaluates how different preprocessing strategies affect Species Distribution Models (SDMs) built from animal tracking data, where consecutive locations are not statistically independent. The study will compare spatial, temporal and spatio‑temporal subsampling methods with data‑weighting approaches that account for autocorrelation, using both simulated and real tracking datasets combined with environmental covariates. The student will assess which strategies provide robust ecological inference and practical guidance for applying SDMs to conservation and wildlife management. The internship offers training in handling tracking and environmental datasets, R‑based SDM modelling, and reproducible analytical workflows, within a collaborative research environment. Requirements: University...

At iMARES (ICM‑CSIC), we offer a research internship for bachelor’s or master’s students interested in ecosystem modelling, climate‑change impacts and marine ecology. The project uses mechanistic Marine Ecosystem Models (MEMs) to investigate how ocean warming and extreme events shape food‑web dynamics in Bass Strait (southeastern Australia), a well‑known climate‑change hotspot. The study focuses on the little penguin ( Eudyptula minor ), a key mid‑trophic predator, and evaluates how rising temperatures and marine heatwaves cascade through the food web to influence penguin populations. The student will update and apply an existing MEM to assess historical trends and explore future climate scenarios, helping to distinguish long‑term environmental effects from acute extreme‑event impacts. The internship provides hands‑on training in process‑based ecosystem modelling, R‑based analysis, climate‑scenario evaluation and quantitative ecological interpretation within a...
