The Thuenen Institute in Bremerhaven is currently advertising three exciting positions (PhD, PostDoc, project coordinator) in the SeaUseTip project (Spatial and temporal analysis of tipping points of the socio-ecological system of the German North Sea under different management scenarios). SeaUseTip is a transdisciplinary research project which aims to assess the vulnerability of the socio-ecological system in relation to ecological tipping points. Emphasis lies on key fisheries resources and the novel integration of economic, socio-cultural and ecological aspects. VMS and AIS analyses are also involved

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.).

For more information about this position, please contact either Myron Peck or Christian Möllmann (christian.moellmann@uni-hamburg.de)

Area of research

The postdoctoral position is funded through the Nansen Legacy project (arvenetternansen.com), which aims to make an integrated assessment of climate and ecosystem changes in the Barents Sea. The principal area of research is under Research Foci 4 (The Future Barents Sea), and the use and development of ecosystem models to simulate key ecosystem properties of the present and future living Barents Sea, e.g. productivity, phenology and distribution.

More specific the work will mainly focus around the NORWECOM.E2E model system, which is an NPZD model including full life-cycle individual based models (IBMs) for key species at several trophic levels with separate modules for ocean acidification and the transport and fate of pollutants. The postdoctoral work will include i) development, implementation and validation of a Calanus glacialis IBM within the NORWECOM.E2E model system, and ii) Investigate impact of expected future ocean climate conditions on lower trophic levels. The biophysical modeling community within the Nansen Legacy includes different classes of ecosystem models, thus an important task is also to contribute to the integration of the results from several models. Extensive research collaboration with national and international institutions is expected and encouraged.

The postdoc position is in the Ecosystem Processes research group, working on research, monitoring and management advice on ecosystem structure, function and dynamics, including climate change effects and impacts of human activities, using both empirical and ecosystem modelling approaches. The ecosystem modeling team at IMR counts seven researchers from different disciplines and research groups.
