MARE - Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre (Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisboa) is looking for a scientific researcher with a MSc degree, within the scope of Project "ReefNets- Using ecological networks to predict marine ecosystem responses to human threats" (PTDC/BIA-ECO/28687/2017). We seek a motivated individual with interests and experience in ecology of invertebrates assemblages, particularly with experience in the identification of invertebrate species (marine and/or estuarine environments).
Call is open: from 1st to 15th September 2019.

Fellowship with a duration of 18 months starting October 1st 2019. Project funded by FCT ("Fundação para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia", from October 2018 to September 2021).
Project team: Sofia Henriques (PI from MARE - Portugal); Rita Vasconcelos (Co-PI from IPMA and MARE); Miguel Pais, Susanne Tanner and Henrique Cabral (MARE / FCUL - Portugal); Emanuel Gonçalves, Gonçalo Silva, Diana Rodrigues and Henrique Folhas (MARE/ISPA- Portugal); Marta Coll (ICM-CSIC- Spain); Hilmar Hinz (IMEDEA, Spain); Manuel Hidalgo (IEO- Spain); Ferenc Jordan (MTA Centre for Ecological Reserach- Hungary).
Project summary: Understanding mechanisms of ecological resilience in a changing world is crucial to reach sustainable development and to prioritize conservation efforts. ReefNets will use an ecological network modelling approach (based on multiple communities, their interactions and functional traits) to improve the current knowledge on biodiversity response to human impacts on rocky reefs. To achieve this aim, ReefNets will assess functional trait-environment relationships and redundancy among multiple taxonomic groups and the ecological processes driving the coexistence of species. Network models will be then used to predict changes in marine communities under different scenarios of anthropogenic impacts (e.g. climate change, fishing, pollution), while investigating how ecological resilience is affected by the complexity of the network. Based on these results, ReefNets will ultimately define suitable ecological indicators useful to further monitor status and impacts on rocky reef habitats.
