Postdoctoral position in marine ecosystem modelling (36 months)

Summary: A 36-month postdoctoral position is available at the Institut Agro (Rennes, France), in the field of tropho-dynamic modelling of marine ecosystems. The objective is to represent carbon flows in marine food webs, in order to quantify the fishing impacts on carbon storage in the ocean, and to assess the sensitivity of these processes to various scenarios of climate change and ecosystem-based fisheries management. This Postdoc is part of the European H2020 project Ocean-ICU Improving carbon understanding, led by NORCE, a Norwegian Research Centre, in partnership with 23 research institutes from 14 European countries.

We seek a specialist in marine ecosystem modelling (MEM) with good theoretical basis in trophic ecology, climate change and ocean physics. Excellent programming skills, especially in R, are required. Experience in using EwE and in coupling MEMs and global or regional ocean models (e.g., Earth System Model) would be appreciated, as well as knowledge on European marine ecosystems and fisheries.

Dead-line to apply : 20th of March 2023
