We are looking for prospect candidates to apply for Arditi doctoral scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships. We seek motivated people interested in developing research in the themes of biodiversity, conservation, marine ecology and ecosystem functioning at MARE - Centro de Ciências do Mar e do Ambiente (MARE-Madeira).
Our research team gathers knowledge and experience in designing and implementing underwater and intertidal survey programs as well as field and laboratory (mesocosms) experimental approaches applied to several areas, including biogeography, marine biological invasions, marine ecology, habitat mapping, remote sensing, ecology of marine megafauna, ecosystem functioning, marine litter, climate change and other anthropogenic pressures.
Specifically, we are aiming at the following research topics:

POSTDOCTORAL THEME 1 (PD1)– Ecological niche modeling, habitat suitability and spatial analyses; POSTDOCTORAL THEME 2 (PD2) – Using coastal and pelagic seabirds as indicators of marine litter in marine ecosystems;

DOCTORAL THEME 1 (D1) – Evaluating responses of marine benthic communities under different scenarios of anthropogenic pressures (e.g. 
invasive species, pollution);
DOCTORAL THEME 2 (D2) – Multidisciplinary approach to assess impacts of non-indigenous species proliferation on diet and feeding behavior of target native species;

Candidates interested in developing a working plan under these topics together with research scientists at MARE-Madeira, should send a Cover Letter and CV to mare-madeira@mare-centre.pt <mailto:mare-madeira@mare-centre.pt>. Prospect candidates should also refer what topic they are interested in (PD1, PD2, D1 or D2).
Please send these materials until march 22nd, the latest.

Nagano University is planning to seek three trained researchers to work with a team on a study about the population dynamics and fisheries management of Japanese eel (Project Head: Professor-to-be Hiroshi Hakoyama). The project (a joint venture of 11 research institutes) is supported by the Fisheries Agency of Japan, and is going to last several years at least. Lab technicians (two or three people) are going to help the postdoctoral researchers.

Duties & Responsibilities

(1) Postdoctoral Researcher #1 (Statistician, frequentist, time-series analysis, fisheries management, mathematical modeling)

The researcher’s primary responsibilities include: analyzing multivariate time-series of fisheries and environmental data of Japanese eel in frequentist approaches (not Bayesian); developing statistical and mathematical methods for fisheries management; and writing papers with co-workers. The spatiotemporal data include missing values.

(2) Postdoctoral Researcher #2 (Bioinformatician, population genetics, SNPs (MIG-seq and/or RAD), effective population size, pairwise sequentially Markovian coalescent, PSMC)

The researcher’s primary responsibilities include: performing techniques in the laboratory including DNA extraction, PCR, SNPs (MIG-seq and/or RAD); estimating the yearly effective population size of Japanese eel; estimating demographic history by the PSMC method; developing statistical and mathematical methods for population genetics; and writing papers with co-workers.

(3) Postdoctoral Researcher #3 (Pop-up Argos tag, experimental researcher, fieldworker)

The researcher’s primary responsibilities include: conducting field experiments to track silver eels using pop-up Argos tags (e.g., Wildlife Computer) at several locations in Japan, Indonesia, and Philippines; conducting laboratory experiments using yellow eels for developing the new pop-up Argos tag cooperating with Little Leonardo Co; and writing papers with co-workers.

Moreover, all postdoctoral researchers should cooperate with each other, participate in team discussions, assist the members of the team and the lab in all respects, and accept other duties as assigned.

The University of Hamburg, Institute of Marine Ecosystems and Fisheries Science (IMF) invites applications for a Research Associate for the project “Humboldt Tipping (Social-ecological Tipping Points of the Northern Humboldt Current Upwelling System and Economic Repercussions” in accordance with Section 28 subsection 3 of the Hamburg higher education act (Hamburgisches Hochschulgesetz, HmbHG). The position commences on 1st March, 2019.

The successful applicant will assemble and analyze historical time-series data to examine ecological tipping points in the northern Humboldt Eastern Boundary Upwelling System (HUS) and
understand the responses of the HUS to various interacting drivers including climate change and fisheries. The work fits within the broader frame of exploring dynamic feedbacks among ecological, social and economic components of the HUS. This work dovetails with other, newly funded research programs examining trophic transfer efficiency (‘CUSCO’) and fisheries-induced evolution (‘SOMBEE’) in the HUS. Furthermore, this position is part of a network of newly-funded programs exploring socio-ecological tipping points across a broad range of marine ecosystems including European regional seas. Active collaboration with scientists in these networks, especially those in Peru (IMARPE), is expected.

Beyond a PhD in a relevant discipline (e.g. Ecology, Marine Biology, Environmental Science), requirements include:

  • Experience in utilizing advanced statistical techniques on complex time series data, especially Generalized and Additive Mixed Modelling techniques or Machine Learning approaches.
    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
    • The ability to work independently and proactively in an inter- and trans-disciplinary team
    • Strong interpersonal and organizational skills. If applicable, please list further requirements here.
    Severely disabled

Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and copies of degree certificate(s). The application deadline is 3rd February, 2019. Please send applications to Prof. Myron Peck (myron.peck@uni-hamburg.de.).
