Postdoctoral Researcher in Ecosystem Modeling of Climate and MPA Impacts on Fish | Postdoc (m/w/d) im Bereich Ökosystemmodellierung von Klima und MPA Auswirkungen auf Fische
Helmholtz-Zentrum für Ozeanforschung Kiel (GEOMAR)
Job Summary
This Postdoctoral Researcher position at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel focuses on advanced ecosystem modeling to assess the impacts of climate change and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) on fish populations. The researcher will be responsible for developing, implementing, and analyzing complex ecological models, likely involving spatial and temporal dynamics of marine ecosystems. The role contributes significantly to the preservation and protection of the ocean for future generations by providing critical knowledge and technology transfer. Candidates should possess a strong background in marine ecology, computational modeling, and potentially evolutionary ecology, aiming to understand and quantify the effects of environmental stressors and conservation measures on marine life. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to internationally leading marine research within a publicly funded institution.
Required Skills
Education
Doctorate/PhD in a relevant field (e.g., Marine Ecology, Computational Biology, Oceanography)
Experience
- Postdoctoral research experience required
- Professional experience in ecosystem modeling related to climate and ecological impacts
- Experience in marine research, preferably in evolutionary ecology
Languages
Additional
- The position is fixed-term (BEFRISTET). Preferred start date is May 1, 2026, though flexible. The role is based at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel.
