[ECOLOG-L] PhD position in Ecophysiology
PhD position in Ecophysiology available at ZMT Bremen/Germany The Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT) GmbH in Bremen is a member of the Leibniz Association, which is supported by the German Federal and State Governments. Through its research, Leibniz-ZMT GmbH contributes to developing science-based strategies for sustainable use of tropical coastal systems (www.zmt-bremen.de). The ZMT has a vacancy for a Ph.D. student to start in February 2014 in the working group Ecophysiology (New methods for early detection of (environmental) stress in fish and invertebrates - development of a toolbox). The appointment is for a period of three years. Salary will be according to the German TV-L 13 for a part-time position (50 %). It is well known that stress such as increased T, decreased pO2, repeated handling stress etc., have immediate negative effects on physiological performance. In this project, a set of (molecular physiological) tools needs to be developed and depending on organism, life history stage and stress factor the tools need to be combined in different ways (Toolbox concept) and checked for their applicability. The candidate is expected to perform physiological experiments about metabolic parameters on at least two species of invertebrates and one species of fish. The project intends to develop a strong new edge to the Ecology Department, by combining existing expertise with new expertise, and therefore support and drive the application of methods and new research objectives in different working groups. Requirements: Applicants should hold a Master or Diploma degree in marine biology, ecology, geobiology or related fields and should ideally have experience in physiology and reef/mangrove ecology. Particular focus is on molecular and physiological methods. They should also fluently speak English and possess good scientific writing skills. A SCUBA diving license is an additional asset. The job requires long term stays in tropical countries and so prior experience working abroad in difficult field conditions is preferred. Application: To apply, please send a motivation letter, a copy of the master's (diploma) certificate, a complete CV with a list of publications and skills, and names with email addresses and phone numbers of two referees in a single pdf-file to mailto:isabel.sanz.jan...@zmt-bremen.de bewerb...@zmt-bremen.de. Only short-listed candidates will be notified. Closing date: December 15, 2013 or until a qualified candidate is identified. The Leibniz-ZMT GmbH is an equal opportunity employer. Disabled persons with comparable qualification receive preferential status.
