About the position
We are looking for an experienced researcher to the department of Aquatic resources, SLU Aqua, Institute of coastal research. You will contribute to our work of advising the management and developing knowledge about sustainable use of ecosystems in coastal and marine areas. In particular, you will contribute to the development of ecosystem services analysis, ecosystem modelling and ecosystem-based spatial data analysis
Your profile
Specify the formal requirements an applicant must meet and what is meritorious for the position. A bulleted list can be a good way to make that clear.
When advertising a postdoctoral position, a similar sentence should be used: As postdoctoral appointments are career-developing positions for junior researchers, we are primarily looking for candidates with a doctoral degree that is three years old at most.

Your tasks include collaborating with colleagues and stakeholders for the design of tools, performing data and literature analysis independently and together with colleagues, and contributing to scientific reports and publications. The tasks can change over time according to needs within projects.
Qualifications
You have a strong interest in the marine environment and quantitative analyses. As a person, you are responsible and good at communicating. You enjoy working in a group, but you are also comfortable working independently. You demonstrate capacity for learning new things, working systematically and showing flexibility where required.
