Job Summary

Join the SEAMPHONI consortium as a Postdoctoral Researcher to advance marine monitoring technologies, specifically focusing on integrating environmental DNA (eDNA) and passive acoustics for evaluating Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Day-to-day, you will coordinate eDNA workflows, process high-throughput sequencing data to assess biodiversity, and critically compare eDNA with acoustic monitoring. A key part of the role involves co-designing best-practice guidelines and decision-support tools for MPA management. This position is ideal for a highly motivated individual with a PhD in marine or molecular ecology, strong quantitative skills, and experience with high-throughput sequencing or acoustic data analysis, who thrives in international, interdisciplinary teams.
