| A postdoctoral position is available in the Aquaculture Division, Department of Genetics, Stellenbosch University with the focus on Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of farmed kob, Argyrosomus japonicus and Argyrosomus inodorus, and the potential genetic impacts of farmed fish on associated wild fish populations. |
Stellenbosch University | 30 April 2012 |
| Postdoc position in longterm marine ecological research The focus of the position will be on analyses of long-term observational data from the Baltic Sea to gain understanding of the role of different environmental drivers on ecosystem dynamics and processes of this unique system. The incumbent will have opportunities to work with a diverse environmental dataset from nutrients, microbes and plankton to benthos and fish, in relation to changes in weather, climate, pollution, fisheries and invasive species. |

| POGO fellowships for on-board training on an AMT cruise POGO is offering special Visiting Fellowships for on-board training on the Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) Cruises. This initiative is now in its fifth year and has proved to be a very successful training programme providing hands-on, sea-going experience to young scientists from developing countries, and the opportunity to be involved in an internationally renowned scientific programme. The programme is designed to promote training and capacity building leading towards a global observation scheme for the oceans. This fellowship programme is open to scientists, technicians, graduate students (PhD/MSc) and post-doctoral fellows involved in oceanographic work at centres in developing countries and countries with economies in transition. |
