Post-doctoral position in benthic macrofauna and biodiversity research (CLOSED: January 27, 2023)
We are looking for a scientist to be part of a growing team of researchers exploring the role of benthic macrofauna in the functioning of coastal systems in the estuaries of Cádiz bay. The postdoc candidate will be part of a large interdisciplinary team working on a project that combines ecology, complex systems, and nutrition. The main objective of this project (funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation) is to understand how the food web structure connecting primary productivity compartments (phytoplankton) with zooplankton and macroinvertebrates (crabs, decapods, polychaetes, etc.) influences the quantity and nutritional quality (fatty acids and micronutrients) of the fish and oysters obtained in the estuaries. The postdoctoral candidate will participate mainly, but not exclusively, in the following tasks: 1. Intensive field sampling (monthly) in estuarine channels of Cádiz bay (esteros). 2. Temporal estimations of macroinvertebrates, fish abundances, and oyster growth. 3. Macrofauna identification and estimation of abundances and biomass (AFDM) in the lab. 5. Estimation of the Atlantic blue crab abundance (invasive species). 4. Help to assess the food web structure from species’ temporal changes 6. Assessing water quality through measurements of pH, turbidity, salinity, DO, POM, total carbon and nitrogen (organic and inorganic), and chlorophyll a. The ideal applicants would have PhD’s in Marine Ecology, Ecosystems ecology, or related disciplines, have strong publication records commensurate with experience. Experience in handling macroinvertebrates and strong taxonomic skills are highly required. The successful candidates will be expected to be active in research and publication, advise graduate and master students, and engage in interdisciplinary research and public outreach. This is a full-time research position for 22 months period or until 31/12/2024 at the University of Cádiz (Spain). Estimated salary: 2,469.26 (gross) euros per month Deadlines for applications: from 17/01/2023 to 27/01/2023!! Starting time (approx): March/April-2023 For further information and applications (Anexos Enero 2023): https://personal.uca.es/convocatorias-de-capitulo-vi-2023/ Contacts: Iván Franco Rodil ([email protected]) Oscar Godoy del Olmo ([email protected]) Enrique Ortegón ([email protected])
