Please visit the following website: ------------------------------------------------ Postdoctoral Research Fellow position studying fishing-induced changes in behaviour and natural mortality (Mrk. 13-15)At the Institute of Marine Research we currently have a 3-year vacancy for a postdoctoral research fellow to work on fishing-induced changes in behaviour and natural mortality of Norwegian spring spawning herring. The position is currently organised at the Pelagic fish group, and the work place is Bergen. The position is part of the project Can contemporary evolution explain the many enigmas in recent dynamics of Norwegian spring-spawning herring? (ConEvolHer), financed by the Research Council of Norway. The main objective of ConEvolHer is to find out why pelagic planktivores defy the existing theoretical and empirical findings by not showing evolutionary decreases in maturation age, and to assess whether evolutionary changes can be documented in other traits or population characteristics. Norwegian spring spawning (NSS) herring will be used as the focal species. Main duties: We are looking for candidates with A successful candidate will also have advantage from We offer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Position 2 The Institute of Marine Research is one of Europeâs largest centres of marine research. We have a staff of around 750 and a wide range of research facilities and laboratories of high international standard. The Institute owns and operates six research vessels. Our main offices are in Bergen, and we have a department in Tromsø and research stations in Matre, Austevoll and Flødevigen.

Vacancy for a PhD Research Fellow to work on ecosystem dynamics in the Norwegian Sea (Mrk. 16-15)At the Institute of Marine Research we currently have a 3-year vacancy for a PhD candidate to work on ecosystem dynamics in the Norwegian Sea, particularly pelagic planktivores and their prey. The position is currently organised at the Pelagic fish group, and the work place is Bergen. The position is part of the project Ecosystemdynamics in the Norwegian Sea â new methods for understanding recent changes (EcoNorSe), financed by the Research Council of Norway. The main objective of EcoNorSe is to improve our understanding about the species interactions and the dynamics of the pelagic fish species (Norwegian spring spawning herring, mackerel and blue whiting) in the Norwegian Sea ecosystem by developing and using modern methods for identifying and quantifying the diet of these ecologically and economically important pelagic fish populations, and developing and using modern statistical methods to scrutinize these data.
