Subject: [Coral-List] PhD position in coral reef ecology at ZMT Bremen

Fellow listers,

please distribute this position announcement to interested parties.

Many thanks, Sebastian

The Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology GmbH (Leibniz-ZMT GmbH) in
Bremen is a member of the Leibniz Association, which is supported by the
German Federal and State Governments. Through its research, Leibniz-ZMT
GmbH contributes to developing science-based strategies for sustainable use
of tropical coastal systems (www.zmt-bremen.de).

Within an interdisciplinary project entitled "Triple C: Contribution to
Coral Commons" a PhD position in coral reef ecology is available.
(Reference number III)

The project is funded through the Leibniz Association and involves
collaboration between the ZMT, University of Bremen and other partners.
Starting date for the three-year doctoral student positions are 1 May 2014
or shortly thereafter. The deadline for applications is the 1 March 2014.
Salary will be paid according to the German TV-L EG 13 for a part-time
position (50%).

This interdisciplinary project involving economists, other social
scientists and ecologists assesses in a cross-cultural perspective the
factors contributing to a major commons dilemma: the world-wide degradation
of coral reefs. This subproject will use a combination of remote sensing
data analysis and in situ measurements to assess the impacts of human
activity on coral reefs, including local (i.e. over- and destructive
fishing), regional (i.e. eutrophication) and global (i.e. ocean warming and
ensuing coral bleaching) stressors. The project will link these to the
socio-economic data generated in the other subprojects. We are looking for
a candidate with a degree in marine sciences. Candidates need to have
proven experience in working with coral reef systems. SCUBA diving
experience is a must, preferably with a European-level scientific diving
certification. Prior experience with remote sensing data, spatial data
analysis and ecological field work in coral reefs of developing countries
is desirable. Good communication skills and the proven ability of good
scientific writing are additional assets. The position is offered in
collaboration with Prof. Dr. Sam Purkis (National Coral Reef Institute,
Nova Southeastern University) and is co-supervised by Prof. Dr. Christian
Wild (University of Bremen and ZMT).

The Leibniz-ZMT GmbH is an equal opportunity employer. Disabled persons
with comparable qualification receive preferential status. Your application
should include a complete CV, publication list (if available), a short
outline of research interests and experience, and the names and E-mail
addresses of two references. Please send the documents as a single pdf file
by e-mail to I. Sanz Jannke (bewerbung@xxxxxxxxxxxxx), indicate the above
mentioned reference number and include your master thesis certificate or
equivalent. Only short-listed candidates will be notified.

If you have any specific questions, please contact Dr. Sebastian Ferse (
sebastian.ferse@xxxxxxxxxxxxx).
