Job description:
Data Scientist: Linked Open Data and Marine Biodiversity (M/F/d)

  • Background
  • The incumbent will work on three closely interrelated projects
  • MARine COastal BiOdiversity Longterm Observations (MARCO-BOLO), BiOceanS5D, and Global cooperation on FAIR data policy and practice (WorldFAIR) with the overall objective to harmonise data and information flows within the digital framework of the UN Ocean Decade and the IODE of IOC-UNESCO.
  • Tasks
  • The incumbent will pursue and publish (in peerreviewed journals) data science research focused on the increasingly more interlinked, webactionable, and transparent ocean digital ecosystem that all the noted projects and initiatives contribute to.
  • The research tasks will transfer the skills from ecological sciences to digital ecosystems, evaluating their (cyber)diversity, structure, and function in order to create a scientific basis for objectively characterising the state of the ocean's digital ecosystem.
  • The results of this work will be used as a basis for further strategy development and implementation guidance, to engineer more robust and interoperable ocean digital ecosystems.
