Our most important assets are all the individuals > whose curiosity and dedication make Uppsala University one of Sweden’s > most exciting workplaces. Uppsala University has over 45,000 students, > more than 7,000 employees and a turnover of around SEK 7 billion. > > Department of Ecology and Genetics is looking for two enthusiastic PhD > students to work within project ReCod in Program of Animal Ecology.

Campus Gotland is an integrated part of Uppsala University. You > will have the opportunity to take advantage of the courses organized by > the new graduate school in sustainable development. For more information, > see www.campusgotland.uu.se. > > Project description: Cod is one of the most important fish species in > the Baltic Sea, but the Baltic cod population has collapsed during the > last decade. One of the main reasons for the population collapse is > high mortality at egg stage. Project ReCod, a collaboration between > Uppsala University and BalticWaters2030 (https://ift.tt/387hjJv), > aims to develop the methodology to push the cod population through the > vulnerable egg stage by releasing hatchery-reared yolk-sac larvae at > carefully selected sites. This will be done by producing large number of > yolk-sac larvae under optimal conditions in the hatchery. The ultimate > goal is to strengthen and rebuild populations of the top fish predator > in the Baltic sea. The project is led by Prof Anssi Laurila (scientific > leader) and Prof Gunilla Rosenqvist (head of Research station Ar) in > collaboration with the project leader from BalticWaters2030. > > Position 1: Rebuilding the Baltic cod populations by large-scale release > of yolk-sac larvae. The thesis focuses on the methodology of producing, > raising and releasing cod eggs and larvae as well as on the success > of the releases. You will conduct exploratory fishing and environmental > surveys at the release sites to assess factors affecting the establishment > success. You will also conduct experimental studies to assess factor > affecting establishment success. > > Position 2: Phenotypic and genetic variation in early life history of the > Baltic cod. The thesis focuses on the role of environmental variation in > the performance of cod eggs and larvae and its potential on increasing > survival through these stages. Another topic is phenotypic and genetic > variation within the eastern population of the Baltic cod. You will > use laboratory and field experiments to disentangle how environment and > genetics affect survival and performance of early life stages in cod. > > duties: You will work together with several persons to develop a > well-adapted methodology for rearing and releasing cod larvae. These > will be combined with detailed studies on cod biology to find a > well-functioning methodology to rebuild cod populations. You will also > participate in teaching at undergraduate level. > > Requirements: A master degree (or equivalent) in ecology, marine biology, > fisheries biology or a relevant field. We are looking for enthusiastic, > highly motivated and independent candidates who must be able to express > themselves fluently in spoken and written English. Driving license is > required for work in Research station Ar. > > Additional qualifications: Good knowledge on statistics (programming > in R), experience on aquatic field work and on fish or other aquatic > organisms is advantageous. > > Application: The application should include 1) a letter of intent > describing yourself, your research interests, motivation of why you > want to do a PhD, if one of the theses interests you more, and why you > are suitable for the position, 2) your CV, 3) a short description of > your education, 4) a copy of your master degree, your course grades > and a copy of your master thesis, 5) the names and contact information > to at least two reference persons, and 6) publications produced, The > application should be written in English.  Starting date: 01-05-2021 or > as otherwise agreed. > > For further information about the position please contact: Prof Anssi > Laurila, Anssi.Laurila@ebc.uu.se, +46 18 471 64 93. > > Please submit your application by 8 March 2021, UFV-PA 2021/432. > > More information at: > https://ift.tt/3e7jO26 > > > > > > > När du har kontakt med oss på Uppsala universitet med e-post > så innebär det att vi behandlar dina personuppgifter.
