The posting

Do you have a sharp eye for marine species and want to put your taxonomic skills to work in both research and national monitoring? The Department of Ecoscience at Aarhus University, Denmark, invites applications for a 2-year position as research assistant in marine taxonomy, focusing on phytoplankton, macroalgae and benthic fauna. The place of work is Aarhus, and the position starts on 1 January 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter.

Expected start date and duration of employment This is a 2-year fixed-term position from 1 January 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Job description Taxonomic expertise is the foundation of reliable knowledge about marine biodiversity, and of the monitoring that Danish authorities use to assess the state of the marine environment. You will help maintain and develop the department's taxonomic expertise and link it to new methods such as eDNA, ROV-based surveys and model-ling. Your tasks will include:

  • Identification and quantification of phytoplankton, macroalgae and benthic fauna in samples from field surveys and monitoring programmes
  • Data management, quality assurance and reporting as part of the department's advisory work for the Danish Environmental Protection Agency
  • Contributing to research projects on marine biodiversity, e.g. in cultivated seaweed

You will work in close collaboration with experienced taxonomists and researchers at the Department of Ecoscience.

Your profile Applicants should hold a Master's degree in biology, marine biology or a related field. We expect that you have:

  • Documented experience in identifying marine organisms, preferably within phytoplankton, macroalgae and/or benthic fauna
  • Experience with marine field work
  • Experience with laboratory work and good laboratory practice
  • Experience with data handling, quality assurance and reporting
  • Good English skills, written and oral
  • A structured and careful approach to your work and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team

It will be an advantage if you have:

  • Experience with national monitoring programmes, e.g. NOVANA
  • Experience with molecular methods such as eDNA, or with ROV or other image-based survey methods
  • Skills in data analysis, e.g. in R
  • An interest in research-based advice to authorities

Who we are The Department of Ecoscience conducts national and international research and advisory projects covering all major subdisciplines within marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecology. The department is a recognised authority in research-based advice to Danish authorities and is responsible for large parts of the national monitoring of the marine environment. We are currently about 340 employees.

You will join the Section for Marine Ecology. Read more at AU Ecoscience - Research in marine ecology. For more information on the department, see https://ecos.au.dk/en/.

What we offer The department offers:

  • the opportunity to work with experienced taxonomists and to develop your skills within both classic and new methods
  • a combination of field work, laboratory work, research and advice to authorities
  • a well-developed research infrastructure, laboratories and access to shared equipment
  • a work environment with close working relationships, networking and social activities
  • a workplace characterised by professionalism, equality and a healthy work-life balance.
