Subject: [Coral-List] Ph.D. opportunities at the Leibniz Center for
    Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT), Germany ? All nationalities eligible
To: coral-list@coral.aoml.noaa.gov


Dear Listers,

Applications are invited for 2 Ph.D. positions at the Leibniz Center for
Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT) (www.zmt-bremen.de) in Bremen, Germany in
the field ecology of coral reefs. These positions are within the
framework of the research project FORCE ?Future of Reefs in a Changing
Environment? funded by the European Union. FORCE partners an
inter-disciplinary team of researchers from Europe and the Caribbean to
enhance the scientific basis for managing coral reefs in an era of rapid
climate change and unprecedented human pressure on coastal resources.

1) Role of benthic algae in coral reef recovery processes: Research will
involve field and laboratory experiments with coral larvae to study the
effects of benthic algae on coral early life stages, including larval
behavior, larval settlement and survival, as well as field studies on
benthic algal dynamics, and settlement and post-settlement mortality of
corals. Outcomes will be incorporated within an ecological model
developed by other FORCE partners. The research will involve
interactions with field ecologists, marine botanists and ecosystem
modellers, and will be performed in close collaboration with the Marine
Botany group at the University of Bremen (www.uni-bremen.de), the
Research and Management of Biodiversity Foundation CARMABI in Cura?ao
(www.carmabi.org), and partners within the FORCE project.

2) Ecology of benthic cyanobacterial mats on coral reefs: Work will
involve field surveys to characterize the spatio-temporal dynamics of
benthic cyanobacterial blooms in relation to biotic and abiotic
parameters in the environment, as well as field and laboratory
experiments to investigate the controlling factors of these blooms. The
study will involve a variety of experimental and state-of-the-art
analytical techniques for community-, functional- and geochemical
analyses. The work will be multidisciplinary, involving biology,
microbiology and biogeochemistry. The research will be performed in
close collaboration with the Microsensor Research group of the
Max-Planck-Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen
(www.mpi-bremen.de), the Center for Marine Environmental Sciences MARUM
(www.marum.de), the Marine Geology Department at the Royal Netherlands
Institute for Sea Research in Texel (www.nioz.nl), and partners within
the FORCE project.

The field location for both positions will be Cura?ao, Netherlands
Antilles. Both appointments are for a 3 year period starting April 2010
(negotiable).

Requirements: Applicants of any nationality are eligible to apply for
these positions. Applicants should hold a Master or Diploma degree in
marine biology (position 1) or in biology (position 2). Experience in
coral reef ecology, marine botany and scientific diving will be
important assets for position 1. A background in microbial ecology with
an interest in biogeochemistry and experience in coral reef ecology are
desirable for position 2. Diving certification and good skills in
English are essential for both positions. The candidates should be
prepared to make long-term stays on Cura?ao, and have good communication
skills to integrate efficiently into an interdisciplinary research team.

Applications should be received by February 15th 2010, including a short
outline of research interests and experience, a complete CV and names
with email addresses and phone numbers of two referees by email in a
single pdf-file to the address below. Only short-listed candidates will
be notified. ZMT is an equal opportunity employer. Disabled persons with
comparable qualification receive preferential status. Please feel free
to get in touch if you have questions.

Sincerely,
Maggy
