The postdoc candidate will join and interact with a team of young dynamic researchers studying phytoplankton remote sensing and ecology at Nantes University. The work will be done in collaboration with plankton ecologists from other labs in France. The main objective will be to study the ecology and biodiversity of phytoplankton red tides using satellite remote sensing.

The conference is the annual gathering of the Black Sea maritime community. Here you can get and exchange on the latest concerning investment, innovation, and environmental protection in the Black Sea sustainable blue economy.

The Global Ocean Observing System is a program of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, working to coordinate an integrated and responsive ocean observing system. The Biology and Ecosystems Expert Panel (BioEco Panel) is one of three panels providing scientific advice and expertise to GOOS on sustained observations of ocean variables across physics, biogeochemistry and marine life. To support ocean observing coordination, GOOS has identified a series of physical, biogeochemical, biological and ecosystem measurements known as Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs). The EOVs have been identified by the ocean community as essential for establishing the state of the global ocean and how it is changing through time. They are designed to support the delivery of information and tools that support science-based decision-making. The Biology and Ecosystems expert panel coordinates 12 BioEco EOVs focused on monitoring key taxa and habitat groups and a cross-disciplinary EOV focused on ocean sound. To fulfil the Panel’s responsibilities and commitments, two expert members take on voluntary leadership roles within the Panel in relation to each BioEco EOV.

The European Polar Board (EPB) is an independent organisation that focuses on major scientific, policy, and strategic priorities in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The Executive Secretary works with the EPB Chair, the Executive Committee, and the broad EPB membership, to advance coordination in polar research effectively, foster multilateral collaboration and knowledge sharing. The Executive Secretary should initiate and maintain links with national and international organisations as required and will represent the EPB externally in major ongoing activities such as the IPY, ICARP IV, and other polar initiatives as deemed necessary.

The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO as lead sponsor of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) Programme collaborates closely with the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) as co-sponsor, together with United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Science Council (ISC). GOOS is the major ocean observing programmatic element of the IOC Medium-term Strategy 2022-2029 and the WMO-IOC Collaborative Strategy. The position is for a ‘Co-Design Programme Support Officer’ and will focus on contributing to the development of the co-design approach in areas relevant across WMO and IOC, and to link to the WMO Rolling Review of Requirements (RRR) process, as well as areas contributing to supporting the Ocean Observing Co-Design programme in general and GOOS’s activities in the Ocean Decade.
