Job Description

Centre for Ocean Life (www.OceanLifeCentre.dk ) offers a 3-year PhD fellowship in modelling of fish communities and carbon sequestration in the global ocean . The fellow will be employed at DTU Aqua (The National Institute for Aquatic Resources, Technical University of Denmark).

We expect the PhD candidates to extend and apply the FEISTY fish community model to simulate the potential carbon sequestration of fish in the global ocean, and how it is impacted by fishing, now and in the future. The details of the PhD project will be developed in collaboration with the supervisors in the Centre. 

The PhD candidate will become part of the vibrant, cross-disciplinary, and international research environment at the Centre for Ocean Life. The centre is a collaborative effort to develop a fundamental understanding and predictive capability of marine ecosystems through the use of trait-based approaches. We currently have a group of about 20 young scientists associated the Centre (PhD and Postdocs). They are working on various aspects of marine life using diverse approaches (observational, experimental, theoretical) while collaborating through weekly science meetings, annual science retreats, numerous working groups, and collaborative projects. Their backgrounds are as diverse as are those of the PIs of the Centre, from physics and mathematics to biology and chemistry, and we spend considerable effort developing cross-disciplinary communication and projects since we believe that the potential for discovery and progress may be achieved by confronting the different disciplines.
