PhD and Postdoc Openings in Marine Science, Marine Observation Systems, and Phytoplankton Monitoring at Umeå University Umeå University in Sweden

Umeå Marine Sciences Centre at Umeå University is advertising multiple openings in marine science and related areas, including a PhD position, a postdoctoral scholar role, a research assistant role, and an operational/educational coordinator position.

The PhD in Marine Observation System Resilience focuses on developing marine observation systems that are more resilient, scalable, and adaptive under accelerating environmental and climate change. This is a strong fit for applicants interested in marine science, environmental science, earth science, and resilience-oriented research.

The Postdoctoral Scholar in Intelligent Data Sampling for Phytoplankton Monitoring emphasizes mathematical and statistical approaches to understanding natural variation in phytoplankton dynamics and improving monitoring outcomes. This role is especially relevant for candidates with quantitative skills and interests in marine biology, statistics, and environmental monitoring.

The Research Assistant in Marine Biology & Biogeochemistry supports an international research team working on nature-based solutions for biodiversity conservation, coastal restoration, blue carbon, and sustainable management of marine environments.

The post is shared by Nick Kamenos, Director of Umeå Marine Sciences Centre and Professor of Marine Ecosystem Science. The announcement indicates that deadlines vary by position, with the earliest deadline in late July. Applicants should check the linked Nature Careers posting for the specific role, eligibility details, and application instructions.

This is a multi-position hiring call rather than a scholarship announcement. No explicit funding amount, stipend, or tuition waiver is stated in the post text.
