Opportunities for
post-doctoral collaboration with Marine Academic Education in Iceland
(MARICE)
We
are actively seeking doctoral graduates
who would be interested in
collaboratively writing grants for a post-doctoral position with the
MARICE group at the University of Iceland, under the supervision of Dr.
Gu�r�n Marteinsd�ttir. There is currently no post-doctoral funding
available for these projects, but there are a variety of avenues by
which individual post-doctoral grants or project grants can be obtained
(see below). The focus of the research would be to expand or connect a
variety of the on-going research projects currently underway, and could
fall into a variety of topics, depending on the interests of the
collaborator. These could include:
-
Atlantic cod
reproductive physiology and its relationship to lunar
cycles
- Evolutionary
modeling of Atlantic cod reproductive systems
- How does early
life history relate to recruitment patterns via ocean
circulation?
- Using ecological
data to improve fish finding tools
- Spatial patterns
in demersal trawl landings: when do fishermen stop
fishing?
- Techniques for
morphological identification of Atlantic cod stocks

Location: MARICE, University of Iceland
The project will be carried out at MARICE, University of Iceland.
MARICE is a diverse research group at the University of Iceland that
focuses on a broad range of topics surrounding the local marine
environment. These topics include behavior, physiology, population
genetics, and life history variation of Atlantic cod, saithe, and
haddock; modelling of oceanographic processes along Iceland’s
coastline; and improving tools for fisheries management in Iceland and
internationally. Both empirical and theoretical methods are used. The
research group consists of 3 post-docs, 8 PhD students, and 3 Master’s
students who work as a team to provide a stimulating research
environment. The group is headed by Dr. Gu�r�n Marteinsd�ttir and
nestled within the Biology Department in the Faculty of Life and
Environmental Sciences. More information about can be found at: http://www.marice.is.
