<!--#yiv6926909396 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}-->Hi, We are currently
seeking a doctoral student in ecology at the Linnaeus University in Kalmar for
a project examining the connection between nutrients and the composition and
structure of the phytoplankton community. We are preferably looking for someone
with experience in biological oceanography and/or marine phytoplankton
research. Please see below for the full advertisement including link to the
application page. Feel free to spread the information to your networks. The
application deadline is 2017-10-31 Kind regards, Hanna Farnelid Linnaeus

Doctoral student in ecologyKalmarReference number:
2017/4230-2.2.1ShareWelcome to Linnaeus University! A place for knowledge,
ideas and development. For growth potential and a belief in the future. In
Småland and in the world. Job descriptionFuture climate scenarios predict
increasing surface temperatures, decreased salinity, and changes in wind-driven
upwelling in the Baltic Sea that will likely induce significant changes in
phytoplankton dynamics. While anthropogenic nutrient input is set to decrease
in the future, changes in the timing and the intensity of seasonal upwelling
(internal loading) may increase the availability of nutrients and trigger more
algal blooms. We are seeking a doctoral student for a project examining the
connection between nutrients in coastal and offshore environments and the
composition and structure of the phytoplankton community. The observations will
be used to establish links between the response and adaptation of phytoplankton
and consequences in terms of food web efficiency, and pelagic-benthic coupling.
The potential cascading effect of internal loading on organic matter
budget/fluxes will also be assessed. The work will include a combination of
laboratory cultivation experiments and field studies. Microbial and molecular
tools will be used. This study is part of a larger multidisciplinary project
that seeks to understand diversity, ecology and physiology of microbial
plankton communities within a climate change perspective. The research will be
conducted in collaboration with other scientists within the framework of the
Strong Research Environment ECOCHANGE and the Centre for Ecology and Evolution
in Microbial model Systems (EEMiS) within Linnaeus University that comprises
expertise in ecology, evolution, and microbiology. According to the Higher
Education Ordinance a person appointed to a doctoral studentship should
primarily devote himself/herself to his/her own studies. An appointee may,
however, work to a limited extent with education, research, artistic
development, and administration. However, before a doctoral degree has been
awarded, duties of this kind may not comprise more than 20% of a full-time
post. Requirements A person fulfils the general entry requirements if he/she
has: been awarded a degree on second-cycle level or equivalent in Biology,
Aquatic Ecology or other closely related fields.has completed the requirements
for courses comprising at least 240 credits, of which 60 credits on
second-cycle level, or may haveacquired principally equivalent knowledge in
Sweden or abroad.in other way, in Sweden or abroad, has acquired principally

aquatic ecology are encouraged to applyEmployment The employment as a doctoral
student is limited according to chapter 5, § 7 of the Higher Education
Ordinance. The total employment period may not be longer than the equivalent
