The Nucleo Milenio Center for Marine Conservation of the
Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile invites applications for two positions
The Marine Conservation Center is a scientific program focused on understanding
the ecology and oceanography of coastal marine communities and their
interaction with the heterogeneous artisanal management and social landscape.
The center is based at the Estación Costera de Investigaciones Marinas in Las
Cruces and is conformed by an interdisciplinary team of leading research
ecologists, oceanographers and social biologists from the Pontificia
Universidad Católica de Chile. The PI's and senior researchers of the center
are C.A. Aiken, B. Broitman, J.C. Castilla, S. Faugueron, M. Fernández, S.
Gelcich, S.A. Navarrete, C. Rodríguez, E.A. Wieters. The center was established
to examine the effect of spatial heterogeneity in human activities (e.g.
protected, dedicated and open areas) on coastal ecosystems across a mosaic of
oceanographic and biological conditions and aims to provide a sound scientific
foundation for the development of compatible exploitation and conservation
plans for the coast of central of Chile.
Postdoctoral Research Fellow in marine metapopulation
dynamics The successful candidate will lead research into the processes driving
temporal and spatial variation in the abundance of marine benthic organisms on
the Chilean coast, with emphasis on marine reserves. The successful candidate will
have freedom to focus these broad research questions according to his own
interest and experience. Close collaboration with coastal oceanographers,
mathematical ecologists and social scientists is expected. This is a full-time,
18-month position.
Required Qualifications: a PhD in marine ecology,
physical oceanography, mathematical ecology or related field; demonstrated
ability to lead and publish research; fluency in English.
Desired Qualifications: working knowledge of Spanish;
experience with numerical models; immediate availability.
Candidates should submit their CV, publication list, a
letter briefly outlining the candidate's research background and proposed
research plans, and the names and contact information of three references
(electronic submission in one PDF document is strongly preferred).
Postdoctoral Research Fellow in subtidal ecology or
fisheries ecology The successful candidate will show a strong background in
subtidal ecology or fisheries, hold strong statistical/analytical skills and
have demonstrated experience in leading subtidal field campaigns. He/she must
be interested in conducting research at the interface among fisheries, ecology
and oceanography and actively interact with a collaborative team studying the
main processes affecting coastal biodiversity and population abundance across a
mosaic of human impact. The successful candidate will have freedom to target
this broad research area according to their own interest and experience. Close
collaboration with coastal oceanographers, ecologists and social scientists is
expected. This is a full-time, 18-month position.
Required Qualifications: a PhD in marine biology/ecology
or fisheries science; a proven ability to lead and publish research; fluency in
English.
Desirable Qualifications: working knowledge of Spanish;
immediate availability. Candidates should submit their CV, publication list, a
letter briefly outlining the candidate's research background and proposed
research plans, and the names and contact information of three references
(electronic submission in one PDF document is strongly preferred).
