Applicants are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Ecoscience programme. The position is available from 1 October 2023 or later.

Title:
Impacts of climate change on coastal ecosystems around Greenland

Research area and project description:
This PhD project located at the Department of Ecoscience seeks to study the effects of climate change on coastal marine ecosystems in Greenland.

The physical conditions defining the boundaries of ecosystems are undergoing rapid changes in the Arctic. Although there is a growing understanding of changes in ecosystems on a pan-arctic scale, some regions of the marine Arctic, including vast stretches of the Greenland coast, remain poorly studied.

The project aims at characterizing climate change and associated trends in coastal and marine ecosystems across different regions of Greenland in order to better understand the variability in the responses of Greenland marine ecosystems to climate drivers across time and space. The project will apply remote sensing techniques to assess changes in climate- and environmental conditions at small, meso- and large scale, and will use various existing long-term data sets and new data, including data generated in the project, to analyse trends and characterize structure and function of benthic and pelagic ecosystems

Project description. For technical reasons, you must upload a project description. Please simply copy the project description above, and upload it as a PDF in the application.

Qualifications and specific competences:

Applicants must have experience with remote sensing analyses and a strong willingness to further develop skills in spatial analyses and working with big data. Coding and data handling in R or Python will be essential to the project, and experience with these is an advantage.

Experience with Arctic marine fieldwork is highly desirable.
