Background

Several initiatives are currently underway to establish Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the Southern Ocean as part of a global MPA network.

The Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, has been at the forefront of this development by establishing the scientific basis for a Weddell Sea MPA (WSMPA).

At present, the design of the proposed WSMPA is under negotiation at the Commission for Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR).

To prepare for the time after the WSMPA adoption, this project will primarily address work on the development, organisation and implementation of a WSMPA research and monitoring plan.

In this context, we offer a position as a data technician/scientist at AWI Bremerhaven, Germany.
