Good afternoon, We at the Marine and Freshwater Research Institute in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, are looking for a postdoc/researcher to work on projects related to marine mammal bycatch. The main responsibilities are to participate in two recently funded EU Life and Horizon projects, CIBBRiNA and Marine Beacon, along with participating in other marine mammal related projects and tasks at the MFRI. Our component within Marine Beacon focuses on bycatch risk assessment in Icelandic waters, using a combination of species distribution modelling and sightings surveys along with fishing effort data to highlight bycatch risk. The work within the CIBBRiNA project focuses on mitigation measures, including field trials of mitigation measures in gillnet fisheries and review work on available mitigation tools. Experience and knowledge of R is required. Experience with conducting risk assessments and running species distribution models is an asset. See more details here: https://www.researchgate.net/job/1006219_Postdoctoral_scientist_Research_sci... The position is a fixed term position for 4 years at our headquarters in Hafnarfjörður, just outside Reykjavík in southwest Iceland. Deadline for applications is the 18th of January.
