Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark DTU - Technical University of Denmark Full time

**Our Mission**


We aim to understand the complex interactions between climate change, marine ecosystems, and human societies. Our research focuses on developing innovative solutions to address the challenges facing our planet.



**The Role**

This PhD scholarship is part of our Centre for Gelatinous Plankton Ecology & Evolution, which is funded by the Villum Young Investigator + grant 'The next frontier of Marine Science to mitigate climate change'. As a researcher, you will contribute to our mission by developing and applying underwater image and hydroacoustic technology to assess plankton life across different ecosystems worldwide.



**Key Deliverables**
  • 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**
