We plan to hold interviews on Weds 23rd October. We are seeking to recruit a Research Assistant to collect, curate and analyse the Long Term Plankton and Benthic Dove Time Series. Sustained observations of biota in coastal time series are required to separate climate-driven signals from the noise of natural fluctuations to disentangle responses of species, communities and ecosystems to global drivers from regional and local scale impacts. You will raise the profile of these research assets externally, work towards embedding the data sets into marine observatory networks and contribute to the publication of research outputs in peer-reviewed journals.
You will have a Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in a relevant science – preferably marine science, and ideally a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject – oceanography, marine science, biology, ecology For further information, and details of how to apply, please visit https://jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Newcastle-Research-Assistant-(Joy-and-Frank-Williams-Dove-Time-Series)/560263801/ Or http://bit.ly/Researchpost Salary: £28,331.00 - £30,046.00 Closing Date: 8 November 2019 Date for interviews is provisionally set for Monday 25th November Informal enquiries to [email protected] The Department of Water Resources (WRS) of the Faculty of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) at the University of Twente is looking for a PhD student with expertise in coastal and estuarine systems and remote sensing.The WRS Department works in the domains of Water and the Environment, focusing on water, food, energy and ecosystems security and sustainability. The department uses earth observation and in-situ ground truthing in combination with hydrologic and earth systems modelling and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for the assessment and monitoring of the water, energy and biogeochemical cycles to support planning and management of water resources and freshwater and coastal ecosystems under global change.
The aim of this PhD project is to study the response of estuarine ecosystems to extreme events. Estuarine systems are inherently dynamic, shaped both by water from the river and the sea. You will develop remote sensing techniques for estimating the impact of extreme events (e.g., high waves during storms, floods, droughts) on estuarine systems, using time-series of satellite images. You will investigate how estuarine systems respond, depending on the nature, and intensity of the extreme events, and how, how fast and under what conditions systems can recover and adapt to these impacts (for example via bio-morphological interactions). You will focus on the effects of extreme events on sediment dynamics and water quality in estuarine systems. The research will result in a PhD thesis. https://www.utwente.nl/en/organization/careers/!/989907/phd-candidate-earth-observation-of-the-response-of-estuaries-to-extreme-events |
