Doctorate and Fellowship Positions in NorMER in the field of Global climate change on fisheries resources in the Nordic region, with a primary focus on the Atlantic cod in University of Oslo,Norway -2011

Study Subject: Global climate change on fisheries resources in the Nordic region, with a primary focus on the Atlantic cod.
Employer: University of Oslo
Level: PhD and Postdoctoral

A major challenge to managers and scientists today is to identify ways that oceans can provide food and other services in a sustainable way under changing climatic and socioeconomic conditions. As a changing climate and high harvesting put increased pressure on marine resources, scientists of the future need the cross-disciplinary skills to combine physical, biological, and social/economic science to give appropriate management advice. NorMER is a new Nordic Centre of Excellence, with funding from Nordforsk, on behalf of Top-level Research Initiative (TRI), and the participating institutions for 2011-2015, that will address this challenge through a unique program of primary research. 45 researches from 10 Nordic institutions will collaborate in training 15 new PhD students and 5 Postdocs through joint projects that explore the biological, economic, and societal consequences of global climate change on fisheries resources in the Nordic region, with a primary focus on the Atlantic cod.
