The position includes regular research cruises on the North Sea. Your profile A university degree in a relevant field. A higher university degree (Master or equivalent) in a relevant field (marine biology or ecology, fisheries science or environmental sciences). The successful candidate should have knowledge and experience in larval fish ecology and taxonomy, zooplankton research molecular techniques, such as metabarcoding or gene expression analysis, and modelling. Experience in sea-going research is necessary. Team spirit, experience with scientific writing and knowledge on programming (R, Python) and biostatistics are required. Good oral and written English skills are necessary. A class B drivers license is beneficial.
