Helmholtz-Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity is hiring!

8 postdoc positions, 1 junior research group leader position and 1PhD position have been announced, these will be the first scientists to be hired in the new Helmholtz-Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity (HIFMB) that will be established on the campus of the University of Oldenburg as a collaborative effort of the University Oldenburg and the Alfred-Wegener-Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research. With these positions, HIFMB initiates first projects during the startup phase of the new institute, aiming at empirical, statistical and theoretical ecology to address the functional role of biodiversity in marine ecosystems and understanding the general principles constraining this role.
