The Foundation for Biodiversity Research (FRB) was launched in 2008 by the Ministries for Research and for Ecology. It was created by eight public research institutions (BRGM, CIRAD, CNRS, IFREMER, INRA, IRD, IRSTEA, MNHN), joined in 2014 by LVMH and in 2017 by the University of Montpellier. The Centre for Synthesis and Analysis of Biodiversity (CESAB) is FRB’s main programme and a leading research organisation in Europe that is renowned internationally.
The position is linked to the international Fisheries and Marine Ecosystem Model Intercomparison Project (FishMIP), which produces multi-model ensemble projections of climate change impacts on marine ecosystems at global and regional scales.
The FishMIP team is looking for a talented 24-month postdoctoral researcher (extendable to 36 months) to drive the analysis and publication of social-ecological simulation results from the FishMIP-OSP project, evaluating the future of marine ecosystems and fisheries under various climate and socio-economic changes across these new socio-economic scenarios.
Required skills and experience:
- PhD in Fisheries Science/Ecology, Oceanography, Numerical Modelling, Economy, Statistics, Mathematics, Marine Ecology/Biology, or related scientific fields.
- Strong quantitative skills and proficiency in R and/or Python for data analysis and visualisation of large data sets.
- Proven ability to write and lead peer-reviewed publications.
- Strong communication, collaboration, and project management skills.
Desirable skills and experience:
- Experience with modelling approaches and/or the use of ecosystem/ocean models.
- Familiarity with large-scale collaborative science projects.
- Interest in interdisciplinary and policy-relevant research, and/or experience in multiple relevant disciplines
