Nuevas ofertas (3 Post-doc positions; Contrato Inspector Pesca)

1. Post Doctoral position in Zooplankton Ecology at IMR Norway

IMR currently has a 3 year Post doc. position available to work within the field of zooplankton ecology. The position is located in Bergen and the successful candidate will be connected to the Plankton research group. The candidate is sought to work on the project: “Effect of climate change on the Calanus complex (ECCO)”.

The project aims at increasing the ability to predict the effects of global warming on the keystone secondary producers of the northeast Atlantic ecosystem - the Calanus species complex. ECCO is divided into 4 work packages.

Work package 1 is a time series study of trends in populations of Calanus spp. in relation to the environment with emphasis on climate variability.

Work package 2 is a field study of the ecology of Calanus species in relation to their habitats with emphasis on overwintering and reproductive strategies.

Work package 3 is an experimental study in which hunting success of fish larvae is quantified in relation to prey characteristics.

In work package 4 our existing simulation model of Calanus finmarchicus is expanded to include C. hyperboreus, C. glacialis and C. helgolandicus. The candidate will be a part of research activities within work packages 1, 2 and 4.

The successful candidate holds a PhD and has thorough knowledge of general ecology, statistics and mathematics. Demonstrated experience in the analysis of large ecological data sets, statistical analysis and mathematical modelling will be emphasized.

We can offer a challenging and creative work environment within a national research institute with extensive international contacts. We also encourage a healthy work-life balance and offer a competitive salary, excellent benefit schemes and flexible hours.

For more information, contact group leader Petter Fossum, petterf(at)imr.no, +4755238633 or visit our website www.imr.no

IMR is an IA-organisation that is committed to promote diversity and encourages all qualified candidates to apply. Please note that information about applicants may be published even if the applicant has requested to be exempted from the list of applicants. Applicants will in those cases be notified in advance.

The application is sent electronically through a link on this website with a CV, copy of relevant references and certificates as well as a list of publications.

2. Post doctoral Position in Zooplankton Fluid Dynamics

at the VKR Center for Ocean Life (DTU-Aqua, Denmark)

Centre for Ocean Life (www.OceanLifeCentre.dk) offers a 2-year post doctoral position fellowship in Fluid dynamics of zooplankton feeding and swimming at DTU Physics and DTU Aqua (Department of Physics and The National Institute for Aquatic Resources, both at the Technical University of Denmark). The position start April 1st, 2012, or soonest thereafter.

The project aims at assessing the tradeoffs associated with feeding and swimming in zooplankton, e.g., copepods that are millimetre sized marine zooplankton. The idea is to combine experimental and modelling approaches to directly assess efficiency, energy expenditure and predation risk associated with the principal feeding and motility modes of zooplankton. We may use particle image velocimetry (PIV) to describe flow patterns generated by freely swimming and feeding zooplankters. Further we may use dynamically scaled models of zooplankters to experimentally examine propulsion forces and spatial and temporal decay of flow structures under well controlled settings that are difficult to achieve with live zooplankters. Fluid dynamical models may be used to estimate energetic costs and generalize experimental observations to other types of plankton than those observed. The result will be quantification of the tradeoffs associated with the principal modes of swimming and feeding in zooplankton.

Further information about the project and the research environment can be found at the Centre’s homepage.

Qualifications:

We envisage a biologist or a physicist with interest in aquatic ecology and preferably with experience in experimentation with live plankton and/or in performing fluid dynamics experiments. Candidates should have a PhD degree or equivalent.

Salary and terms of employment:

The appointment terms of the Postdoc will be based on the collective agreement with the Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed with the relevant union, but an annual salary in the range of 90-100,000 USD per year (including a pension scheme) can be expected. Candidates that come from outside Denmark can further expect a tax reduction.

Further information:

Further information may be obtained from Professor Thomas Kiørboe (DTU Aqua, mail: tk@aqua.dtu.dk), Professor Tomas Bohr (DTU Physics, mail: tbohr@fysik.dtu.dk), and Associate Professor Anders Andersen (DTU Physics, mail: aand@fysik.dtu.dk).

Do NOT send applications to this e-mail address, but use the electronic submission system - see below!

You can read more about DTU Aqua at www.aqua.dtu.dk and about DTU Physics at www.fys.dtu.dk and its fluid dynamics group at www.dtu.dk/centre/FLUID/English.aspx Application procedure We must have your online application by 10 March 2011, click here and open the link "apply for this job online" ( or “søg stillingen online”) at the bottom of the new page and fill in the application form and attach your application, CV, a publication list, two letters of recommendation, and possibly other material that you would like to be included in the evaluation.

Applications and enclosures received after the deadline will not be considered. All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, race, disability, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply. Centre for Ocean Life is a Villum Kann Rasmussen Centre of excellence for the study of life in a changing ocean.

The Centre is a collaborative effort between the Technical University of Denmark, University of Copenhagen, and Roskilde University. The goal of the Centre is to develop a fundamental understanding and predictive capability of marine ecosystems through the use of trait-based approaches, involving observations and experimentation as well as modelling. The Centre brings together biologists, physicist, chemists, and mathematicians, funds PhD and postdoctoral fellows, offers PhD summer schools international workshops, and operates a Researcher Visitors Centre.

3. Post doctoral position in Brest/France Decadal variability of marine ecosystem in the North Atlantic : a modelling approach

A Post Doc grant is available for 30 months in ocean dynamics/biogeochemistry modeling starting (as soon as possible) at IUEM (LEMAR : Laboratory of the marine sciences of the environment; LPO : Laboratory of physical oceanography) in Brest/France.

Description of the position: The position is associated with the European program EURO-BASIN which aims at understanding the variability, potential impacts, and feedbacks of global change and anthropogenic forcing on the structure, function and dynamics of the North Atlantic ecosystems as well as key species influencing carbon sequestering, ecosystem functioning and marine resources.

The position is associated with the modeling workpackage of the program, which is based on 1/4° basin scale simulations of the last 50 years using a General Circulation Model and an ecosystem model of medium complexity (NEMO/PISCES: see web sites www.nemo-ocean.eu and www.drakkar-ocean.eu).

The major emphasis will be put on the impact of climatic forcing and ocean dynamics on the export fluxes towards the deep ocean (carbon sequestration) and the higher trophic levels (resources), associated with the role of the complexity of the ecosystem model. Coupling with "end - to - end" models is considered as well in order to analyze bottom - up (climate) and top - down (fisheries) feedback processes.

Requirements: A PhD in geophysical fluid dynamics, physical oceanography or in marine biogeochemistry/biology is required for the position. A strong background in numerical modeling and in using massively parallel computers constitutes a necessary condition. The successful candidate will work with physical oceanographers, marine biogeochemists and biologists (ecology), and will participate to shared work and intercomparisons with the European partners of EURO-BASIN (UK, IT).

For further informations, candidates may contact Laurent Memery at LEMAR (memery(at)univ-brest.fr), or Olivier Aumont (olivier.aumont(at)ird.fr) at LPO. The required information to be prepared for each candidate is :

- a curriculum vitae including a complete list of publications

- copies of publications of interest for the present post doctoral project

- if possible, letters of recommendation
