Uppsala University is a comprehensive research-intensive university with a
strong international standing. Our ultimate goal is to conduct education and
research of the highest quality and relevance to make a long-term difference in
society. Our most important assets are all the individuals whose curiosity and
dedication make Uppsala University one of Sweden's most exciting workplaces.
Uppsala University has over 45,000 students, more than 7,000 employees and a
turnover of around SEK 7 billion.
Department of Ecology and Genetics is looking for two enthusiastic PhD students
to work within project ReCod in Program of Animal Ecology. The Department of
Ecology and Genetics is an international environment with research spanning
from evolutionary ecology and genetics to ecosystem studies. For more
information, see
www.ieg.uu.se.<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ieg.uu.se.%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7Caf1dacce84e3456409f608d8d17fdce1%7C6cef373021314901831055b3abf02c73%7C0%7C0%7C637489694405413496%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=%2Fb9SA%2F3yag3vtZIT2gnbAMX0eTVG1niLYDhqYc0bnzo%3D&reserved=0>
The positions are located at Campus Gotland in Visby, and field and laboratory
work is conducted at Research Station Ar in northern Gotland. Campus Gotland is
an integrated part of Uppsala University. You will have the opportunity to take
advantage of the courses organized by the new graduate school in sustainable
development. For more information, see
www.campusgotland.uu.se<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.campusgotland.uu.se%2Fsustainability%2Fgraduate-school%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7Caf1dacce84e3456409f608d8d17fdce1%7C6cef373021314901831055b3abf02c73%7C0%7C0%7C637489694405423493%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=thg7B%2F1Ok8zYTwSTCdbjA6boLUnfrI9MNefrWtqHsIw%3D&reserved=0>.
Project description: Cod is one of the most important fish species in the
Baltic Sea, but the Baltic cod population has collapsed during the last decade.
One of the main reasons for the population collapse is high mortality at egg
stage. Project ReCod, a collaboration between Uppsala University and
BalticWaters2030 (www.balticwaters2030.org<http://www.balticwaters2030.org>),
aims to develop the methodology to push the cod population through the
vulnerable egg stage by releasing hatchery-reared yolk-sac larvae at carefully
selected sites. This will be done by producing large number of yolk-sac larvae
under optimal conditions in the hatchery. The ultimate goal is to strengthen
and rebuild populations of the top fish predator in the Baltic sea. The project
is led by Prof Anssi Laurila (scientific leader) and Prof Gunilla Rosenqvist
(head of Research station Ar) in collaboration with the project leader from
BalticWaters2030.
Position 1: Rebuilding the Baltic cod populations by large-scale release of
yolk-sac larvae. The thesis focuses on the methodology of producing, raising
and releasing cod eggs and larvae as well as on the success of the releases.
You will conduct exploratory fishing and environmental surveys at the release
sites to assess factors affecting the establishment success. You will also
conduct experimental studies to assess factor affecting establishment success.
Position 2: Phenotypic and genetic variation in early life history of the
Baltic cod. The thesis focuses on the role of environmental variation in the
performance of cod eggs and larvae and its potential on increasing survival
through these stages. Another topic is phenotypic and genetic variation within
the eastern population of the Baltic cod. You will use laboratory and field
experiments to disentangle how environment and genetics affect survival and
performance of early life stages in cod.
Duties: You will work together with several persons to develop a well-adapted
methodology for rearing and releasing cod larvae. These will be combined with
detailed studies on cod biology to find a well-functioning methodology to
rebuild cod populations. You will also participate in teaching at undergraduate
level.
Requirements: A master degree (or equivalent) in ecology, marine biology,
fisheries biology or a relevant field. We are looking for enthusiastic, highly
motivated and independent candidates who must be able to express themselves
fluently in spoken and written English. Driving license is required for work in
Research station Ar.
Additional qualifications: Good knowledge on statistics (programming in R),
experience on aquatic field work and on fish or other aquatic organisms is
advantageous.
Application: The application should include 1) a letter of intent describing
yourself, your research interests, motivation of why you want to do a PhD, if
one of the theses interests you more, and why you are suitable for the
position, 2) your CV, 3) a short description of your education, 4) a copy of
your master degree, your course grades and a copy of your master thesis, 5) the
names and contact information to at least two reference persons, and 6)
publications produced, The application should be written in English.
Starting date: 01-05-2021 or as otherwise agreed.
For further information about the position please contact: Prof Anssi Laurila,
Anssi.Laurila@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:Anssi.Laurila@xxxxxxxxx>, +46 18 471 64 93.
Please submit your application by 8 March 2021, UFV-PA 2021/432.
