The next IOC-UNESCO Global Ocean Oxygen Network (GO2NE) Summer School will be held from 2-8 September 2019 in China at Xiamen University's Xiang’an Campus. The GO2NE Summer School will bring together 40 PhD students and early career scientists with 16 world-leading international scientists. It aims to connect young researchers with leading scientists working on oxygen, both in a theoretical framework and through laboratory experiments, field work, modelling and special sessions on communications, ethics and stakeholder engagement.

We are looking for an intern (hosted through the NRF intern programme) interested in developing their skills in marine ecology, taxonomy and barcoding. Through the Foundational Information Biodiversity Programme (FBIP) we have developed a new project entitled "(Meta)barcoding of seagrass communities: comparative approaches for biodiversity planning”, that seeks to combine barcoding with taxonomy as a basis for developing metabarcoding approaches for marine and estuarine biodiversity monitoring in South Africa. The internship will be hosted in the lab of Prof. Sophie von der Heyden at Stellenbosch University. No closing date indicated.
