1. Associação BIOPOLIS opens an international call for PhD holder Researchers, under a non-fixed work contract with an expected duration of 2 years. This announcement is for one Junior Researcher position (Reference BIOPOLIS 2024-60), to pursue scientific research activities in the project "Reducing bycatch of threatened megafauna in the East Central Atlantic", supported by Horizon Europe funds. The objectives focus on obtaining and integrating data on the spatial distribution and behaviour of marine megafauna with fishing effort data, to understand, monitor, and reduce the bycatch of these species, and to inform the sustainable management of fisheries in the Central-Eastern Atlantic Ocean. The work plan involves tagging and tracking marine megafauna using satellite telemetry and high-resolution sensors, such as accelerometers and video cameras. The analysis of these data reveals species' spatial and vertical habitat patterns necessary to identify areas of greater vulnerability to bycatch, as well as provides a detailed understanding of the potential impact of fishing on the post-capture behaviour and mortality risk of the animal.

General Requirements: The application can be submitted by any national, foreign and stateless candidate(s) holding a doctorate degree in Biology or related areas and a scientific and professional curriculum whose profile is suited for the activity described below.

Specific Requirements: Extensive experience in handling and tagging marine animals, particularly sharks, with satellite transmitters and high-resolution sensors. Experience in the implementation and analysis of high-resolution data obtained from inertial sensors to describe the fine-scale behaviour of marine megafauna. Experience in exploring, describing, and analysing ecological and biological processes using telemetry data, preferably in fish species. Experience in analysing fisheries data (e.g., AIS, VMS). Excellent competence in programming (using R, IGOR and/or MATLAB) and using GIS software (e.g. ArcGIS). Having published scientific publications in the scope of megafauna movement and behaviour. The candidate should be able to work well within a team and have excellent English and communication skills. Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills are expected.

Application Period: 20/12/2024 to 06/01/2025

Expected Starting Date: 1st of February 2025

Non-discrimination and Equal Access Policy: Associação BIOPOLIS actively promotes a non-discrimination and equal access policy.
