About the position

The Institute of Marine Research (IMR) in Norway has a vacancy for a 2-year postdoctoral position, with the possibility for 2 years extension given funding, to develop tools for the integrated assessment of the Norwegian Sea ecosystem.

The candidate will develop instruments to assess the state, drivers and tipping points and conduct risk and vulnerability assessments for the Norwegian Sea ecosystem. The planned work will involve extensive literature reviews and syntheses, interaction with relevant scientific experts, managers and stakeholders, data compilation, construction of qualitative and quantitative models and presentation of results in peer-reviewed publications and conferences.

The research will be part of the EU-project Mission-Atlantic and the results will contribute to the IMR Strategic Initiative on harvests in the Norwegian Sea (SIS-Høsting) and the working group on the integrated ecosystem assessment for the Norwegian Sea (WGINOR) of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES).

The postdoc position is in the multidisciplinary Ecosystem Processes research group, working on research, monitoring and management advice related to ecosystem structure, function and dynamics, including climate change effects and impacts of human activities, using both empirical and ecosystem modelling approaches. The workplace will be at IMR in Tromsø.

The successful candidate must have the following qualifications:

  • PhD in fisheries, marine ecology, resource biology and management, system dynamics or equivalent.
  • Documented strong quantitative skills and knowledge of at least one of the tools/programming languages: Matlab, R, or Python.
  • Excellent skills in English, both written and oral.

In addition, the following qualifications are desired and will be given weight:

  • Experience with marine ecology and resource management.
  • Experience with multivariate analyses, and spatially and temporally explicit statistical models.
  • Experience with dynamic modelling.
  • Experience with integrated assessment of marine or terrestrial systems.
  • Experience with vulnerability or risk assessments.

  • Ability to work in a multi-disciplinary team and to work independently towards objectives.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently implement and publish research.
  • Ability to work efficiently, be goal-oriented and perform and report project activities on schedule.

The working language at IMR is Norwegian, and working knowledge of the Norwegian language is an advantage. If needed, language training will be offered and costs incurred will be reimbursed based upon completion of the language course.
