PostDoc Applications - 6 Topics in Marine Sciences

UBO is looking for highly motivated postdoctoral researchers for building innovative projects to apply for a Marie-Sklodowska Curie European Fellowships (MSC-EF) to the next call (12 September 2018).

Six topics and teams have been identified for you to develop your research project in UBO and help you to write a winning proposal in Marine Sciences:

1. Submesoscale Ocean Dynamics in the Arabian Sea and adjacent gulfs (Keywords: Process studies, role of topography and surface currents on dense outflows, submesoscale vortex formation and interactions with mesoscale features, numerical modeling, in situ and satellite data analysis)
2. Source and production of 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3 at the basis of marine food webs (Keywords : Trophic ecology, lipids, biochemistry, physiology, plankton)
3. Modelling multiple stress effects on marine organisms’ life-history and population dynamics (Keywords: Population dynamics, spatial ecology, multi-stressors, biotic interactions, life cycles, ecophysiology, inter-individual variability, individual-based modelling, Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory)
4. Geophysical imaging and joint inversion (Keywords: Global geophysical imaging, electromagnetism, space magnetism, planet exploration, electrical conductivity, 3-D inversion, joint inversion)
5. Impact of the meso and submesoscale dynamics on the fate of exported particles in the deep ocean (Keywords: Ocean Dynamics, Turbulence, Lagrangian, Particles, Ocean carbon pump, Modelling)
6. On the detection and estimation of biofouling in tidal stream turbines (Keywords: Tidal turbine, electric generator, signal processing, biofouling, detection, estimation)

MSC-EF are prestigious fellowships funded by the European Commission. They offer a rare opportunity to talented scientists: the chance to set up research projects of their own. They provide an attractive grant for 1 to 2 years including salaries (around 2500€ net per month, with social care included) and allowances for mobility, family and research (detailed information on the call). If funded, the project proposed in September 2018 could start in May 2019.

We encourage all motivated post-docs wishing to apply for a MSCA fellowship with UBO to send us, as early as possible and at least before the 1st of May 2018.
