3x PhD Student Positions to Research Cod Growth Chronologies at the University of Iceland

The Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Iceland invites applications for three PhD student positions to reconstruct the long-term growth chronology of cod in the Northeast Atlantic.
We are looking for three PhD students to join an international multidisciplinary team investigating the long-term, century-scale population dynamics of cod around Iceland and/or Norway. The research of two students would investigate otolith-based growth chronologies, while the second student would investigate temperature reconstructions based on otolith oxygen isotopes.  A University degree (Master of Science or equivalent) and excellent communication skills in written English are mandatory. Good quantitative skills and familiarity with fish biology and otoliths are of advantage. We expect the candidates to show outstanding motivation and initiative.
Two of the PhD positions will be based out of the University of Iceland in Reykjavik, while the third position will be based in Bergen, Norway. The positions will be funded for three years with a start-date as soon as possible. Annual PhD salaries are currently 4,380,000 ISK.
