Fisheries/Ecosystem Modeller or Fisheries Analyst - Wellington NZ
NIWA is a leading environmental research institute and key provider of atmospheric, freshwater and marine research and consultancy services in New Zealand.
NIWA uses a variety of statistical and mathematical techniques to study the distribution, abundance and dynamics of exploited fish species and bycatch species such as seabirds and marine mammals, impact of fishing on the benthic and by-catch species, and to study marine ecosystems. This work is done in projects contracted to NIWA by the Ministry of Fisheries, the Department of Conservation and the fishing industry. Much of this research underpins advice given to clients for managing exploitation and by-catch issues; research on marine ecosystem dynamics may also be involved.
Our Wellington office needs a scientist to carry out or assist with this quantitative research. Specific aspects will include designing abundance surveys, modelling marine populations, analysis of data (including producing new methods to do so), object-oriented computer programming, generalised linear modelling, estimating Bayesian posterior distributions and conducting simulation studies.
Fisheries/Ecosystem Modeller: This position will suit an experienced fisheries modeler, numerical ecosystem modeler, or statistician with at least 5 years post-doctoral (or equivalent) experience. Capability should include mathematical or statistical modelling, a thorough knowledge of applied statistics, and C++ and R programming.
Fisheries Analyst: This position will suit a recent Honours or Masters Graduate who is keen to develop a career working alongside, and being trained by, experienced fisheries modellers. Their degree will have a strong mathematical or statistical content and preferably some biological or fisheries component.
Applications should contain a transcript of degree course grades and a record of work experience.

Announcement for a Post-doctoral Research Fellowship, Environment Canada, Dorval, Québec, Canada Project title: Assimilation of surface-sensitive radiances over land
The candidate will use the global data assimilation system of Environment Canada to evaluate the impact of assimilating infrared and/or microwave radiances over land and oceanic ice. Currently surface sensitive channels are only assimilated over open oceans. Available spectral surface emissivity information will used in that process. Quality control procedures will take into account the nature of the topography, and strict criteria to avoid cloud contamination. Infra-Red radiances will be those available from hyperspectral sounders AIRS, IASI (~13 km pixels) and CrIS when the data becomes available. The background error correlation between surface skin temperature and air temperature will be considered. The latter information is available from a research version of the assimilation system which uses a flow-dependent background error covariance matrix. The focus will be on high latitude regions, notably tundra and sea ice, where only sparse surface data are available.
Qualifications: PhD. in atmospheric sciences or related field. Experience with Fortran programming. Experience in atmospheric radiation and remote sensing represent highly desirable assets.
Applications are currently being accepted and the position will remain open until filled.
The position is available for a maximum of three years pending annual review and availability of funds.

Numerical modelling of the marine dispersion of radionuclide released during the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant and transferred to marine biota - Toulouse France
We are urgently looking for a candidate to a PhD position on the dispersion and fate of the radionuclides from Fukushima into the sea, the particulate matter and the biota. The deadline to apply is the end of October.Radioactive contamination of the marine environment due to the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant (11th March 2011) arises from several sources: radioactive deposition from atmospheric releases, direct liquid release from the nuclear power plant and future runoff from contaminated land areas.
The SIROCCO group was the first, ten
days
after the nuclear accident to publish on a website in near-real time,
modelling
results of the dispersion of radionuclides together with validations
from
measurements performed by the Japanese authorities in a 30km circle
area
around the plant.
http://sirocco.omp.obs-mip.fr/outils/Symphonie/Produits/Japan/SymphoniePreviJapan.htm
Even if the model satisfactorily explains the radionuclides dispersion observed during the few weeks after the accident, numerous questions still remain concerning the input from the contaminated watersheds, the contamination of marine sediment and its capacity to release radionuclides during the forthcoming storms, the remote transport and dilution and the transfer of contamination in the living organisms. Part of these uncertainties depends of a poorly known process that is the fraction of radionuclides transported respectively under dissolved and particulate phases. Due to the fact that large-tsunamis have strong impact on coastal ecosystems (vegetation destruction, extensive erosion on shorelines, changes both in river catchment areas and on seabed) an increase in suspended matter concentrations is expected both in rivers and marine areas. Indeed, observations made after the tsunami that occurred in December 2004 in the Indian Ocean have shown a long-lasting increase in suspended matter over a large scale. It is thus likely that in the case of Fukushima, particle reactive radionuclides will be transported over long distances. In addition, in the coastal areas, contaminated sediment by particulate reactive radionuclides could act as a delayed source term when high energetic waves occur. In the frame of this accident, transfers of radionuclide towards high trophic levels in the food chains are key elements that deserve to be studied.
In order to answer most of the above mentioned points, it will be necessary to carry out modelling, analysis of satellite images as well as environmental measurements that are starting to pile up thanks to Japanese sampling cruises and international cruises that should intensify in the forthcoming months. The student will benefit of the solid experience of the SIROCCO group with hydrodynamic and sediment transport modelling. IRSN will bring its expertise on the behaviour of radionuclides in the marine environment.
The position will be at the Laboratoire d'Aérologie, CNRS, Toulouse (South of France) with short duration stays in the Marine Radioecology Laboratory, IRSN, in La Seyne sur Mer (South of France).
Requirements The candidate should have an expertise in physical oceanography with a liking for numerical modelling.

A Post Doc grant is available for 30 months in ocean dynamics/biogeochemistry modeling starting in 2011 (as soon as possible) at IUEM (LEMAR : Laboratory of the marine sciences of the environment; LPO : Laboratory of physical oceanography) in Brest/France.Description of the position
The position is associated with the European program EURO-BASIN which aims at understanding the variability, potential impacts, and feedbacks of global change and anthropogenic forcing on the structure, function and dynamics of the North Atlantic ecosystems as well as key species influencing carbon sequestering, ecosystem functioning and marine resources. The position is associated with the modeling workpackage of the program, which is based on 1/4° basin scale simulations of the last 50 years using a General Circulation Model and an ecosystem model of medium complexity (NEMO/PISCES: see web sites www.nemo-ocean.eu and www.drakkar-ocean.eu). The major emphasis will be put on the impact of climatic forcing and ocean dynamics on the export fluxes towards the deep ocean (carbon sequestration) and the higher trophic levels (resources), associated with the role of the complexity of the ecosystem model. Coupling with "end - to - end" models is considered as well in order to analyze bottom - up (climate) and top - down (fisheries) feedback processes.
Requirements
A PhD in geophysical fluid dynamics, physical oceanography or in marine biogeochemistry/biology is required for the position. A strong background in numerical modeling and in using massively parallel computers constitutes a necessary condition. The successful candidate will work with physical oceanographers, marine biogeochemists and biologists (ecology), and will participate to shared work and intercomparisons with the European partners of EURO-BASIN (UK, IT).
