  • PostDoc Marine Aquaculture in the Open Ocean (OLAMUR) (M/F/d)

Background

Global food security, human health and well-being are at serious jeopardy as marine resource production can no longer be sustained by ecosystems and natural fisheries production only.

Broad evidence supports the potential of low trophic aquatic food to reduce food and nutrition insecurity in a changing climate, delivering essential ecosystem services and enabling achieving UN SDGs.

Expansion of low trophic aquaculture (LTA) for increasing seafood production are faced with opportunities in unexploited regions and environments and maximizing benefits of marine space by considering low impact multi-use (MU) of space such as combining wind farm areas and integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA).

The main objective of OLAMUR is to bring together MU-LTA related key sectors, to demonstrate sustainable commercial solutions for both the North and the Baltic Sea.

OLAMUR will focus on three pilots (Germany, Denmark, and Estonia) that will serve as testing and demonstration sites.

Here, we focus on an aquaculture-offshore wind farm-multi-use-scenario in the German Bight next to Helgoland, to farm seaweed and bivalves in the open ocean.

You will be involved in the design, planning, construction and sampling of the offshore test sites.


Tasks

  • Planing of an offshore seaweed and bivalve plan
  • Monitoring of the farm
  • O&M of the farm

Requirements:


  • PhD in marine biology, ecology, coastal engineering or related disciplines
  • Experience in marine aquaculture
  • Experience in the use of maritime technologies and system design of artificial structures related to aquaculture or other marine offshore sectors
  • Interest in selfcontained research, presentation and publication of scientific data
  • Very good English language skills written and spoken
  • Good standard computer software skills (MS-Officeproducts)
  • Interest and capacity for teamwork, international, inter
- and transdisciplinary collaboration as well as the support of PhD-students

  • Willingness and capability to participate in seagoing expeditions
  • Willingness and capability to stay on Helgoland for a longer period
