Overview

The post-doctoral fellow will work both practically at sea running in-situ experiments and theoretically with observation models to investigate the potential of combing methods. This work will be done in close cooperation with other ongoing projects at IMR.

The candidate should hold a PhD (or submitted the thesis by the closure date) in fisheries biology (with documented strong quantitative skills), mathematics, or physics. We are especially interested in candidates with documented expertise in fisheries acoustics, and it is advantageous that the candidate is used to work at sea.

The successful candidate should also have experience with at least one, but preferably all listed computer tools to process large amounts of data and in-depth programming including R, Matlab, and Java. It is essential that the candidate show ability to work in teams, and it is expected that the candidate will spend extended parts of the contract period abroadstay at one of the collaborating labs in the REDUS project.

Good oral and written communication skills in English are required. A working knowledge of the Norwegian language will be advantageous, but language training will be offered. The ability to work on multiple projects in a multi-disciplinary team setting is necessary.
