About this position

The Institute of Marine Research (IMR) in Norway is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral researcher for a three-year position in marine ecological modelling. The role is part of the Horizon Europe-funded MORSE project, which develops effective and climate-resilient restoration models for European marine ecosystems.

The researcher will contribute to work packages covering restoration pathways, ecological needs of focal species and habitats, favourable reference areas, species distribution modelling, environmental status assessment using NEAT, land- and sea-based pressures, marine protected areas, climate scenarios, and ecosystem services. The work will focus particularly on Norwegian marine ecosystems, including the Skagerrak, Norwegian Sea, North Sea, and Barents Sea.

The position is based in IMR’s Benthic Communities research group and may be located at Flødevigen, Bergen, or Tromsø. The group conducts research, mapping, and monitoring of benthic ecosystems such as seagrass meadows, macroalgal forests, and deep-sea ecosystems. International travel to MORSE workshops and meetings may be required.

Applicants should have a PhD in biology or ecology, preferably ecological modelling, documented modelling experience, and a strong international publication record. Experience with marine ecosystems, ecological restoration or conservation, species distribution models, and data analysis is highly desirable. Excellent English communication skills are required, and Norwegian language training is expected for non-Norwegian-speaking employees.

Applications should include a one-page cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, diplomas, certificates, publication list where applicable, and contact details for two or three referees. The deadline is 30 November 2026. The postdoctoral appointment is remunerated under Norway’s state-sector agreement and includes public-sector pension and other employee benefits.

Funding details

Benefits include public-sector occupational pension, flexible working hours, company cabins, fitness facilities, and other welfare benefits. Tuition or scholarship funding is not specified.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in biology or ecology, preferably with a focus on ecological modelling; have documented experience in ecological modelling; and possess a strong publication record in international peer-reviewed journals. Excellent written and oral English skills are required. Experience in ecological modelling and data analysis, marine ecosystems, species and habitats, ecological restoration or conservation, and collaboration or leadership in international modelling efforts is desirable. Good communication, collaboration, organisation, logistics, independence, teamwork, and time-management skills are expected. Norwegian communication skills are important; non-Norwegian-speaking employees are expected to complete Norwegian language courses during the first two years. Applications must include a cover letter, CV, transcripts, diplomas, relevant certificates, publication list if applicable, and contact details for two or three referees. Foreign qualifications may require an explanation of the grading system and NOKUT approval.

How to apply

Submit the application electronically through Jobbnorge by 30 November 2026. Include a one-page cover letter, CV, transcripts, diplomas, certificates, publication list if applicable, and contact details for two or three referees.
