PhD Researcher in Fish Ecology and Climate Change

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 work on a 3-year PhD 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 PhD researcher will become part of a larger research project that aims to investigate the impact of climate change on fish communities. The project will involve the development of a trait-based fish community model with emergent fast and slow life history strategies to simulate fish community responses to environmental change.

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.

Working Environment

The PhD researcher will become part of a vibrant, cross-disciplinary, and international research environment at DTU Aqua in Lyngby. We currently have a group of about 20 early career scientists (PhD and Postdocs) working on various aspects of marine life, fisheries, and climate change using diverse approaches (observational, experimental, theoretical).

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. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
