I am seeking a highly motivated and skilled full-time research assistant to join my group working on marine invertebrates at the Department of Biology, UCPH.

Job description
The research assistant will be the daily leader and administrator of a 3 year EHFAF project that will test a new, potentially sustainable, hydraulic fishery of the invasive american razor clam ( Ensis leei ). We will assess the impact of this fishery on macro- and meiobenthos, advice stakeholders, and potentially provide an ecological and economical sustainable management plan. The research assistant will design and execute the research project in collaboration with private partners and consultants as well as students and other researchers involved. The job will also involve administrative and logistic tasks related to the project and the lab.
Qualifications
This is a 2,7 year marine biology position with options of extension. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to conduct excellent research in marine biodiversity and benthic ecology with the potential for rapid translation into management and legislation of fishery.
