**Research Focus**
Our research focuses on developing innovative solutions to address the challenges facing our planet. We work closely with international partners to advance our knowledge of gelatinous plankton and their role in the global ocean.
**Key Responsibilities**
- Develop and apply image equipment to assess microscopic marine life ranging from µm to several cm scales.
- Collect new data, analyse existing data, and locate published data to assess and synthesize climate change impacts on food-webs.
- Publish generated data, write scientific publications, and help establish an international database initiative to collect and archive marine life in a standardized form.
**Requirements**
To be successful in this role, you will need:
- A two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree within natural sciences (e.g., marine biology, oceanography, environmental engineering).
- Experience in field work within biological oceanography (preferably plankton) and technical skills to run and modify equipment.
- Modelling skills are an advantage.
- Flexibility concerning field work and research stays abroad.
- Ability to conduct research independently and with extended problem-solving skills.
- Good collaborative skills and strong interest in participating in an inter-disciplinary and international research environment.
- Good communication skills in English, both written and orally.
**How to Apply**
Please submit your application no later than April 1st, 2025. Your application should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, grade transcripts, and a draft project description.
