冰川退缩背景下的北极峡湾食物网博士奖学金——丹麦技术大学 Aqua 项目

该博士项目通过在格陵兰努克附近的不同峡湾系统中开展野外生态学研究、实验室分析及生态系统建模，探讨冰川退缩对北极峡湾食物网结构与功能的影响。申请者应拥有海洋生物学或生态学硕士学位，并具备数据分析与编程技能。

Job description: Greenland Institute of Natural Resources (GINR), the Greenland Climate Research Centre (GCRC) and DTU Aqua invite applications for a joint PhD position investigating how glacial retreat affect the structure, functioning, and stability of Arctic fjord food webs. The position offers an excellent opportunity to combine Arctic field ecology, laboratory analyses, quantitative trophic ecology, and ecosystem modelling while working in Greenland and Denmark. You will become part of an interdisciplinary research environment spanning GINR, DTU Aqua, and the wider EDGE project. The PhD project focuses on two contrasting fjord systems near Nuuk, Greenland, which differ in their degree of glacial influence. It is part of the Independent Research Fund Denmark project “Fjords on the EDGE: Resilience of Greenland Coastal Food Webs in a Warming Arctic”. The overall aim is to understand how changes at the glacier–ocean interface propagates through the coastal ecosystem, from primary production to benthic communities, fish, and marine mammals. In particular, you will investigate the relative importance of benthic and pelagic energy pathways for key consumers using stable isotope analyses and stomach-content data. These observations will be integrated into an ecosystem model to explore how deglaciation tipping points may alter food-web structure and ecosystem functioning. The position is jointly hosted by GINR in Nuuk and DTU Aqua in Lyngby. You will be based in Nuuk during the first two years and at DTU Aqua in Lyngby during the final year. Fieldwork, courses, project meetings, and collaborations will take place at additional locations throughout the PhD. You will be enrolled as a PhD student at DTU Aqua and work closely with researchers at both institutions and with collaborators in the EDGE project. Responsibilities and qualifications Your primary responsibilities will be to: Conduct fieldwork in Nuup Kangerlua and Ameralik during 2027, collecting benthic and pelagic samples. Prepare and analyse samples for stable isotope analysis and use isotope mixing models to quantify the relative contribution of benthic and pelagic food sources to key consumers. Conduct fish stomach-content analyses to characterise diets and trophic interactions. Integrate new observations with existing datasets to develop and parameterise an ecosystem model based on the StratE2E framework. Use the model to investigate how glacial retreat and associated changes in pelagic production may affect fjord food-web structure, functioning, and stability. Publish results in international peer-reviewed journals and present findings at scientific conferences and to relevant local stakeholders. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a strong interest in Arctic marine ecosystems and interdisciplinary research. You should have: A two-year master’s degree (120 ECTS) in marine biology, marine ecology, fisheries science, ecosystem modelling, or a related field, with good academic results. A strong interest in fieldwork and laboratory-based research, including the ability to work effectively on ocean-going research vessels in Arctic environments. Demonstrated experience with quantitative data analysis and scientific programming in R, Python, or MATLAB. Knowledge of marine ecosystem dynamics and trophic or food-web ecology. Strong analytical and scientific communication skills. Fluency in written and spoken English. The following qualifications are considered an advantage: Experience with ecological or ecosystem modelling, including StratE2E or similar frameworks. Experience with stable isotope ecology and/or mixing models. Experience identifying benthic organisms. Experience with fish diet or stomach-content analyses. Experience with Arctic marine ecosystems. A published or submitted peer-reviewed scientific publication. Fluency in Danish and Greenlandic. We recognise that candidates may bring different combinations of these skills and do not expect applicants to have prior experience in all components of the project. Particular emphasis will be placed on scientific potential. You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
