Coastal Systems (COS)

Job description

The Department of Coastal Systems (COS) at the Royal Netherlands Institute of Sea Research (NIOZ) is looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join a research team exploring the deep-sea predatory interactions between cetaceans and their prey. You will be part of the team working with Dr. Fleur Visser on the NWO-Vidi project "Tracing top predator-prey interactions into the deep sea". The PhD will be employed and based at NIOZ (Texel Island, the Netherlands).
THE INSTITUTE
NWO-NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research is the Dutch national oceanographic institute and principally performs academically excellent multidisciplinary, fundamental, and frontier applied marine research addressing important scientific and societal questions pertinent to the functioning of the ocean and seas. NIOZ includes the National Marine research Facilities (NMF) department that operates a fleet of research vessels and the national pool of large seagoing equipment, and supports excellence in multidisciplinary marine research, education, and policy development. The work of this PhD will also be linked to the Freshwater and Marine Ecology at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics, University of Amsterdam (IBED-FAME).
THE DEPARTEMENT
The department of COS is one of the 4 research departments of NIOZ. The COS department integrates state-of-the art laboratory, field, and modelling studies in the dynamics of marine species and food webs. COS examines how physical, chemical, and biological processes interact to determine the distribution, composition, and productivity of marine species across the food web, in marine habitats from the coast to pelagic environments.
THE PROJECT
The deep sea, Earth's largest ecosystem, plays a vital role in global biosphere functioning and holds the largest biomass and biodiversity reservoirs on our planet. It also remains severely data deficient. Key ecological processes, such as the interactions between deep-sea top predators and their prey, forming pivotal roles in system function, remain unobserved. This critically limits not only our fundamental understanding of deep-sea ecology. Ocean systems are degrading rapidly under increasing stress from human activities. Although there is wide consensus that these processes should be halted and reversed, conservation of the deep sea, and its vulnerable and protected top predators, is strongly limited by the absence of knowledge on their fundamental interactions. In the Vidi project, we investigate the interactions between toothed whale top predators, their deep-sea cephalopod and fish prey and the deep-sea environment, develop novel approaches for multi-trophic deep-sea research, and indicators for deep ocean conservation. The project applies a host of techniques to enable joint sampling of predator and prey in the deep sea. Sampling will occur across multiple pelagic deep-sea systems in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, focused on two toothed whale top predators. The PhD will focus on the interaction between predator behaviour and prey dynamics within a larger comparative framework encompassing environmental dynamics.
YOUR ROLE
As PhD student in the Vidi project, you will apply a combination of sea-going research (research cruises on oceanographic research vessels and day-trips on small vessels) and laboratory analysis, to investigate the dynamics between toothed whale deep sea foraging behaviour and the composition and dynamics of their prey fields in the deep sea. You will apply a range of methods, including on-animal biologgers, unpiloted aerial systems, echo sounders, hydrophones, cameras and environmental DNA-analysis, in a balanced study design across multiple research sites.

You will be part of a collaborative team at NIOZ/UvA, and a larger international consortium, calling for an open and sharing team effort including the active exchange of data and results, regular team meetings, and integrative analyses. You will present the data from field and lab efforts within the departments, at project meetings, and at scientific conferences. You will prepare scientific articles and publish your results in international scientific journals. Lastly, you aim to complete the PhD thesis within the official appointment duration of four years.

You will be supervised by a team of scientists from the NIOZ and the University of Amsterdam (IBED/UvA). Training and courses during the PhD trajectory will be offered by NIOZ, and via the UvA by the Graduate School for Production Ecology & Resource Conservation (PE&RC).

Job requirements
