The Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies in Portugal (CESAM) is involved in the 2024 Doctoral INPhINIT fellowships programme, funded by the "La Caixa" Foundation. Currently a total of 10 projects are available under the scope of the INPhINIT programme at CESAM. This programme supports talent and promotes research at the best universities and research centres in Spain and Portugal. CESAM is one of the host institutions of the INPhINIT Incoming Doctoral fellowships in Portugal. To apply for a Doctoral INPhINIT fellowship for a CESAM project, candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Portugal for more than twelve months in the three years immediately preceding the closing date of the call. Candidates must also have an advanced level of English (B2 or higher).

This course will train scientists to write statistical models that are useful for the assessment of fish stocks and to interpret the results correctly. The focus and main examples will be on state-space age-structured assessment models, but different formulations will also be presented and compared.

University of East Anglia (UEA) is looking for a PhD candidate for a project on 'Carbon uptake by seasonally ice-covered waters'. This project goals are to quantify ocean CO2 uptake by Antarctic waters, and determine the role of sea ice and other drivers in this uptake and in carbon transfer to depth.

As part of a new MBIE funded project, the Institute of Marine Science and life at the University of Auckland, are offering two funded PhD research projects. These project will provide the necessary measurements, models and tools to assess how seafloor disturbance increases carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and the potential for habitat restoration or changes in fishing practices to limit these emissions.
