Maryland Sea Grant offers students the opportunity to conduct marine research on the Chesapeake Bay. During the 12-week program, each student works with a mentor on an individual research project. It’s a special opportunity to develop your research skills and interests by working with top science mentors studying America’s largest estuary.

The Division of Marine Science of the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) invites applicants for a Ph.D. study in internal gravity waves (Physical Oceanography) starting in summer/fall 2024. Internal waves are generated by tides and wind and propagate through the world’s oceans. Their turbulent dissipation contributes to water mass mixing, which is relevant for the overturning circulation, global climate, and the dispersal of sediments, nutrients, and chemicals. We seek a skilled and motivated individual to work on the National Science Foundation funded project “Collaborative Research: Probing internal gravity wave dynamics and dissipation using global observations and numerical simulations” (OCE 2319143).

A position as an Assistant Project Scientist is available in the Earth Research Institute and the Department of Geography at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The successful candidate will participate in a research project led by Professor Leila Carvalho (http://clivac.eri.ucsb.edu). The successful candidate needs to have expertise in the following fields: a) boundary layer in mountain areas in coastal environments, b) downslope windstorms, c) regional modeling in complex terrain using Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, and d) experience in organizing and managing field collection datasets. Experience in maintenance of meteorological flux towers is highly desired.

NTNU Department of Biology is looking for a candidate who can create synergies with other sections from the Department of Biology. In addition, the new faculty member is expected to take an active part in the development of cross disciplinary research at NTNU. Collaboration with colleagues at the Departments of Marine Technology, Engineering Cybernetics, Chemistry and Marine Archaeology is also expected.

Magnus Group is the organiser of the “4th Edition of World Aquaculture and Fisheries Conference” (WAC 2024) which is going to take place during June 24-26, 2024 as a Hybrid Event having both online and in-person versions at Paris, France. The congress will be centred on the theme “Revolutionizing Aquaculture and Fisheries: A Novel Outlook.” WAC conference was established as a knowledge-sharing platform to highlight the possibility and distinctiveness of small-scale artisanal fisheries and aquaculture, as well as the advantage that can be gained by fostering collaborations and cooperation with fish farmers and workers, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

WMU’s MSc programme emphasizes the practical application of expertise. It offers both an overview of the complex, inter-related maritime and ocean fields, as well as the opportunity to specialize. The programme is designed to respond directly to the real needs of the maritime industry, and to equip graduates with the skills needed today and in the future. It is academically challenging and professionally oriented, and is designed for ambitious, mid-career maritime professionals. It provides a particularly strong foundation for those intending to move into either a national or an international career.

The Marine and Freshwater Research Centre (MFRC) of the Atlantic Technological University (ATU) are seeking 4 Ph.D. candidates to a variety of projects from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAVs) to Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and from Salmon health to Water quality.
