The MaREI Centre is looking for an experienced Senior Post Doctoral Researcher to help deliver a Horizon Europe funded project, Marine SABRES (Marine Systems Approaches for Biodiversity Resilience and Ecosystem Sustainability). The main goal of this project is to conserve and protect biodiversity by integrating sustainable ecosystems and a resilient blue economy.  Co-ordinated by the Centre and composing of 22 partners, Marine SABRES recognises that marine biodiversity loss is continuing to decline despite current conservation efforts. Reversing the decline in biodiversity requires rapid roll out of effective conservation measures that can also enable a sustainable and resilient blue economy. The project focusses on the use of Social-ecological systems-thinking and Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM), which are globally recognized tools to enable balanced marine development and conservation. Marine SABRES has co-designed a Simple Social Ecological Systems approach (the Simple SES) to rapidly enable and accelerate EBM across Europe and abroad. The work of the project is now focussing on upscaling this approach, working with stakeholders to deliver user-friendly, fit for purpose outputs to set European marine management on a course to reverse biodiversity decline. It aims to do this through a process of integrating sustainable ecosystems and a resilient blue economy; enabling managers to make sustainable decisions; empowering citizens to engage with marine biodiversity conservation and promoting sustainable development in coastal and marine sectors. In addition, the successful candidate will be expected to contribute to other Horizon Europe Funded Projects – notably Danube4All (Restoration of the Danube River Basin Waters for Ecosystems and People from Mountains to Coast) which aims to development a comprehensive Restoration Action Plan for the Danube River basin, co-created with stakeholders, that will promote the improvement of ecological status, biodiversity and ecosystem connectivity.

This position offers the opportunity for an ambitious marine ecologist with proven expertise in Ecosystem Services/Nature Based Solutions/ Nature Restoration to join the Centre and make a meaningful contribution to projects direction and delivery. As such, the successful candidate should have a strong publication record, excellent team-working skills, experience of working with a range of stakeholders as well as the ability to pro-actively drive the projects’ work. They will need to provide leadership and show initiative within a dynamic team environment to ensure the successful delivery of Marine SABRES and Danube4ALL, whilst also having the confidence to work independently with the co-ordination teams. They should also have experience of working on EU funded projects and of delivering high quality in collaboration with other researchers and with project consortia.
