Modelling Resource Use in Reef Ecosystems
http://www.zmt-bremen.de/en/Vacancies.html
The Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT) GmbH in Bremen is a
member of the Leibniz Association, which is supported by the German
Federal and State Governments. Through its research, Leibniz-ZMT GmbH
contributes to developing science-based strategies for sustainable use
of tropical coastal systems (www.zmt-bremen.de).
Leibniz-ZMT GmbH offers this position within the frame of the BMBF
funded German- Indonesian SPICE III Program (Science for the Protection
of Indonesian Coastal Ecosystems). The overarching goal of the bilateral
SPICE Program is to address the scientific, social and economic issues
related to the management of the Indonesian coastal ecosystems and their
resources. In addition to strengthening the existing scientific data
base on coastal ecosystems, the program promotes capacity and
infrastructure building in the maritime sector in Indonesia and Germany
and contributes to education and public awareness. The program is being
carried out in cooperation among partners from several Indonesian and
German universities and government research institutions.
Research Assistant for a period of three years.
Salary will be according to the German civil service remuneration system
for a part time position (TV-L13, 50 %). The candidate will have the
opportunity to do a doctorate at the University of Bremen.
The candidate will develop a model on coral reef systems which
contributes to the development and evaluation of management measures.
The focus will be on the ecological dynamics in coral reef systems and
human resource use and their effects on ecological processes and species
composition under different environmental conditions. With this model it
is intended to integrate data and knowledge from the other sub-projects
in the SPICE project MaCoRAS
(http://spice.zmt-bremen.com/bbcms/seite_114_1_353.html).
Requirements:
- Master's or Diploma degree in a relevant topic
