Postdoctor, ocean alkalinity enhancement
The Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences is looking for a postdoctor in experimental evaluation of the combined effects of changes associated with ocean alkalinity enhancement, OAE. The position is based at Kristineberg Marine Research Station in Fiskebäckskil and is part of the EU Horizon project OAeSIS, which investigates OAE as a potential marine carbon dioxide removal technique to reduce global warming and ocean acidification. The work includes field sampling of key marine species, laboratory experiments with carbonate chemistry and trace elements, meta-analysis, statistical analysis and modelling of biological impacts.
Application deadline: 2026-09-07
Postdoctoral researcher, global change biology
The Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences is looking for a postdoctoral researcher in global change biology. The project focuses on how thermal sensitivity varies across the life cycle, and what this means for animal populations under climate change. The position is part of a research programme on the vulnerability of fish life stages to climate change, and may include empirical research, evidence synthesis, comparative analyses, field sampling and environmental monitoring. Periods of fieldwork at Kristineberg Marine Station may form part of the project.
Application deadline: 2026-09-21
PhD position, global change biology
The Gothenburg, Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences is looking for a PhD student in global change biology. The project investigates how and why thermal sensitivity varies across the life cycle, and the consequences for animal populations under climate change. The PhD project is part of a research programme on the vulnerability of fish life stages to climate change, but may also include studies of freshwater and marine invertebrates. Laboratory experiments, field sampling, environmental monitoring, evidence synthesis, comparative analyses and environmental modelling may be included.
