Junior Post-doc Fellowship, National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics – OGS
Job description: This is a post-doc position in the group of “Dynamics of Ecosystems and Computational Oceanography” of the OGS, which is based in Via Beirut, Trieste.
The selected candidate will work for 12 months with a dynamic group involved in several projects related to Numerical analysis, synthesis, integration and modelling of the state and dynamics of marine ecosystems. The selected candidate will have an opportunity to work within one of the several projects of the group. The activity will be selected together with the supervisor also for accounting his/her expertise and interests. The activity will involve the study of one or more of the following aspects:
• Analysis of marine data and their integration into models of ecosystem space-time dynamics with the aim of studying short- and long-term dynamics of the environment and marine resources;
• Integration of biogeochemical modeling products and measurements from different observational platforms and instruments, including the management and development of specific tools for processing and quality control of observations with the aim of reducing modeling uncertainty;
• Implementation of alternative calibration and validation approaches for trophic network models with the aim of improving the ability of ecosystem models to represent data from the different ecological compartments;
• Population dynamics and distribution analysis of species of high interest (economically important species, charismatic species, protected species) also as a function of habitat, oceanographic variables and ecosystem dynamics in order to evaluate conservation scenarios and identify aggregation areas;
• Use of statistical and trophic network models with space-time dynamics for the implementation of climate scenarios and management of marine areas (e.g. wind farms) with the aim of studying the impact on natural components and other activities (fisheries, aquaculture);
Career level: Post Doc
Type of work: numerical analysis, modelling, data analysis
