Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is dedicated to research and education to advance understanding of the ocean and its interaction with the Earth system, and to communicating this understanding for the benefit of society.

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, experienced deck hand / boatswain with a passion for the environment to join our small, friendly team supporting marine research scientists in their work, including data collection. In addition to hands-on marine deck work you will be involved in mechanical and electrical maintenance activities, you will get involved in supporting the development of innovative new marine technologies including autonomous vehicles, computer based marine systems and green energies. You will need to be physically fit spending up to 3 – 4 days a week at sea on our research vessel, the Plymouth Quest (22m) and will be required to undertake the MCA Approved Engine Certificate 1 (AEC1). Starting Salary: Level 5, starting salary in the region of £25,000 dependent on experience.

Oceana is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the world’s oceans. Oceana’s campaigns are directed at achieving measurable improvements in public policy. The Campaign Associate works as part of Oceana’s U.S. Plastics Campaign to protect the oceans from plastic pollution by reducing the production and use of unnecessary single-use plastic. The Campaign Associate conducts policy research and analysis, develops internal and external campaign materials, conducts outreach to key constituencies, plans and implements projects, and tracks campaign activities and other action on plastic pollution. The Campaign Associate also leads the planning and execution of strategic campaign events such as fly-ins. The Campaign Associate also facilitates collaboration and coordination across science, policy, communications, legal, and grassroots parts of Oceana’s campaign model. The Campaign Associate reports to the Plastics Campaign Director. The position is based in Washington, D.C. Occasional travel is required.

As a key member of the Science & Strategy team, the Fellow helps develop the scientific foundation for our work on ocean protection and climate change, collects and analyzes data, and prepares technical reports, to help achieve Oceana’s mission and drive our Save the Oceans, Feed the World initiative. Our team values diversity in backgrounds and experiences and we strive to build on and complement each other’s skills to create an inclusive and supportive team that together can fulfill a wide range of objectives and responsibilities for the organization. The ideal candidate has a master’s degree in marine science or a related field and two years’ work experience (or equivalent qualifications) and has experience working and building relationships across different cultures and/or multiple disciplines/backgrounds. The Fellow will provide technical support on fisheries, habitat protection, and climate change, write, edit, and present materials for internal and external audiences, and contribute to the development of metrics for tracking progress in ocean conservation and climate change mitigation and adaptation to support Oceana’s campaign goals.

The ocean’s biodiversity supports the livelihoods of over three billion people, providing vital services, including food and nutrient cycling. The new NECCTON project external link involves 20 partners from across Europe and will enable the European Copernicus Marine Service external link (CMEMS) to deliver novel products that inform marine biodiversity conservation and food resources management. This is achieved by fusing new data into innovative ecosystem models that integrate biological and abiotic components, habitats, and stressors of marine ecosystems. The team at Utrecht University participates in the NECCTON work package that develops new modelling capability for the simulation of marine pollutants and stressors. We are looking for a postdoc researcher to support this work. In particular, you will develop new CMEMS products to map and forecast plastic pollution in marine ecosystems. You will coordinate the integration of the pollution codes for plastic and other pollutants developed by partner organisations. Furthermore, you will work with stakeholders to co-design a case study to map the sources of pollutants transported towards Mediterranean aquaculture farm areas.

Institute of Marine Sciences (IMS) offers graduate (MSc. and PhD) degrees in the following fields: Marine Biology and Fisheries, Oceanography and Marine Geology and Geophysics. These graduate programs invite students with the backgrounds in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, statistics, or in any related engineering department. M.Sc. and Ph.D. thesis can be conducted in all areas of research at Institute of Marine Sciences, METU. M.Sc. and Ph.D. Fellowships are offered to suitably qualified candidates in all departments at the Institute of Marine Sciences, METU. National and overseas students have a high prospect of receiving a monthly fellowship through the METU-IMS participation in national and international projects.

Institute of Marine Sciences, METU, provides internship opportunities for the enthusiastic undergraduate students who would like to gain some background and experience about marine sciences. Institute of Marine Sciences is a graduate school under Middle East Technical University, conducts research under three major areas; i) marine biology and fisheries, ii) marine geology and geophysics, and iii) oceanography. In each area of research, METU-IMS researches different properties of the marine environment. The scientific research is supported by national and international project fundings. Research is held through theoretical and practical studies, both in the laboratory environment and on the scientific research vessel possessed by the institute.

The Mário Ruivo Memorial Lecture is an initiative endorsed by UN Ocean Decade and promoted by IOC-UNESCO, EurOcean and the Portuguese Government, which intends to stimulate and recognise early career ocean researchers, seriously contributing to United Nations’ 2030 Agenda – Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 14 and to the objectives of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. This initiative is a homage to Professor Mário Ruivo’s long-life commitment to ocean science and the sustainability of the ocean, and his significant contributions to the work of IOC, most notably ocean knowledge, governance, capacity development, literacy, and international cooperation. A distinguished early career ocean researcher will do this tribute during the IOC-UNESCO Assembly in 2023. The early career ocean professional will be chosen through a public application process.

Black Sea Trade & Development Bank (BSTDB) is looking for motivated students and graduates to join their team.

Black Sea ‘2022 is a follow-up of the traditional events regularly held in Varna on the problems of marine science and technologies. Black Sea ‘2022 is expected to provide the opportunity for the exchange of knowledge and ideas between researchers from different scientific areas and from different countries in Europe, as well as meeting people of science with people from industry and shipping.
