Job Title: PhD Researcher in Fish Trait-Based Ecology and Life-History

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at DTU Aqua, the National Institute for Aquatic Resources, Technical University of Denmark. The successful candidate will be part of a larger research project focused on understanding how climate-induced changes in fish growth strategies affect future trends in fish community biomass and potential catch productivity.

Research Project:

The project aims to investigate the impact of climate change on fish communities and the development of trait-based fish community models to simulate fish community responses to environmental change. The successful candidate will work closely with our team to design and implement a research plan, collect and analyze data, and publish research findings in top-tier scientific journals.

Qualifications:

We are looking for ecologists/biologists with documented quantitative skills or mathematicians/engineers with a keen interest in marine ecology. The successful candidate must have 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.

What We Offer:

DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation, and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a talented team of researchers and contribute to cutting-edge research in marine ecology and climate change.

Application Procedure:

Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. The file must include a letter motivating the application, curriculum vitae, grade transcripts and BSc/MSc diploma, two letters of recommendation, and possible outline of project ideas.
