📣Postdoctoral position in Marine environmental monitoring

👉The Department of biological sciences (IBA) at NTNU seeks a highly qualified, ambitious and motivated candidate to further advance biological monitoring of the marine environment.

👉This project builds on our work on systems for sampling and processing large water volumes for plankton analyses and optical and acoustic nekton monitoring. The research question driving this project is how marine parasites disperse from their hosts and what risk they pose to both wild and farmed fish.

👉This project will expand our work by combining autonomous water sampling and semi-autonomous analyses with an extensive monitoring program over several years. Different additional methods, including molecular-biological, optical and acoustic methods (both on plankton and nekton) may be used to complement these datasets to deepen our understanding of marine systems.

👉This project is expected to drive rapid advances in ocean science, and it has the potential to directly support improved industrial practices of human activities in the sea, marine environmental management and marine governance. The position offers some flexibility to align research actions with specific interests and strengths of the successful candidate.
