Opportunity: Are you passionate about fisheries economics and climate change?

Future Oceans Lab offers a postdoctoral position for a researcher with a strong background in theoretical modelling and fisheries bio-economic analyses. The successful candidate will join our lab led by Elena Ojea in the University of Vigo, Spain, and will work in close collaboration with the Sustainable Fisheries Group and the Environmental Market Solutions Lab at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).

The postdoctoral researcher will work with the Principal Investigator and project team to develop a new bioeconomic fishery model to explore the optimal adaptation of fisheries to climate change for sustainable management and conservation of marine resources. The successful candidate will join our European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant project “CLOCK: Climate Adaptation to Shifting Stocks”.  CLOCK conducts interdisciplinary science to address the new raising questions in climate change adaptation to shifting stocks. We are an active team of researchers with multidisciplinary backgrounds and research, committed to policy advice and informing management. We are currently contributing to the 6th IPCC Assessment Report.

Interested and qualified candidates can send the application materials, following the indications in the EURAXESS job offer (same as in this PDF), to futureoceanslab@uvigo.es.
