PhD candidate in ecological modelling of krill and salps in a changing Southern Ocean

EURAXESS hosting organisation · عدة بلدان أوروبية

Are you excited by ecosystem modeling, climate change and polar oceans? Do you enjoy quantitative work, coding, and turning ecology into equations? We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate who is eager to study Antarctic krill and salp population dynamics, and their impacts on Southern Ocean carbon export in a changing climate. About the position The Southern Ocean plays a disproportionately large role in the global ocean carbon cycle. Its carbon cycling is strongly influenced by zooplankton, especially Antarctic krill and salps, whose fecal pellets drive vertical carbon export. Krill depend closely on sea ice and under‑ice habitats, while salps thrive in warmer, often ice‑free waters. Warming and sea‑ice loss are already shifting their distributions and increasing spatial overl
