The Norwegian College of Fishery Science in the Department of Aquatic
BioSciences, at the University of Tromso, seeks applicants for a
research position in marine plankton modelling. The position is
contingent upon the European Union's approval of the FP7 project "Arctic
Tipping Points."
A doctoral degree in marine biology is a prerequisite for appointment to
the position. The applicant must be able to document scientific
knowledge in marine plankton ecology, preferentially in modelling and
the Arctic.
The successful applicant must be willing to engage himself/herself in
the ongoing development of his/her discipline and the university as a

within the contract term. The plan shall also state who is responsible
for providing academic supervision. The person responsible for providing
academic supervision and the employee both have a duty to report to the
employer in case of inadequate implementation of the plan. To obtain the
"Arctic Tipping Points" project description, please contact Dr.
Elisabeth Halvorsen (elisabeth.halvorsen [at] nfh.uit.no).
An expert committee, whose emphasis will be placed on assessment of the

popularization/publication, administration, work related to disciplinary
development and experience from fieldwork.
