About this position

This postdoctoral position combines laboratory management with research in aquatic comparative physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology. The successful candidate will join the WELL4CATCH project, which develops practical indicators and strategies to improve fish welfare in fisheries. The project is building new data and tools for assessing the welfare of wild-caught fish and is working toward a fish welfare classification framework that can support more consistent assessment and evidence-based improvements across fisheries and the seafood supply chain.

Alongside the WELL4CATCH project, the researcher will also contribute to other research lines in the host laboratories. The role encourages independent research and supervision initiatives that align with the project’s objectives and the laboratories’ scientific interests.

On the laboratory side, the postholder will help ensure the day-to-day running of a safe, well-organised lab. This includes coordinating routine operations, maintaining stocks and reagents, managing orders and equipment maintenance, implementing standard operating procedures, and supporting quality control and safety compliance. The role also involves supporting the Group Leader and members of the team, including undergraduate, MSc, PhD students and postdocs.

The research component focuses on applying physiological, biochemical and molecular approaches to evaluate stress, condition and welfare in fish. The laboratory’s work includes endocrine stress responses, osmoregulation, metabolism and adaptation, and the new position will contribute methods and analyses that connect cellular and whole-organism responses in fish. The postholder will develop and validate assays, optimise analytical workflows, support experiments with live fish and other aquatic organisms, and use R-based analysis and data visualisation across molecular, biochemical and whole-organism datasets.

The position is based with CCMAR – Centre of Marine Sciences and Fish Etho Group Association in Faro, Portugal, within a collaborative research environment that supports autonomy, responsibility and professional growth. The appointment also includes publication and proposal-writing activities tied to the project and related research directions.
