Announcement for a grant on GIS methodologies and ecological modelling
The research activity will be carried out within the ABIOMMED project, whose full title is:
SUPPORT COHERENT AND COORDINATED ASSESSMENT OF BIODIVERSITY AND MEASURES ACROSS MEDITERRANEAN FOR THE NEXT 6-YEAR CYCLE OF MSFD IMPLEMENTATION (“EASME – DG ENV”).
The project focuses on benthic habitats subject to anthropogenic impacts and on regional measures for the protection and conservation of the seabed, with particular attention to the biological component (species, communities, habitats).
The research will be devoted to benthic habitats affected by anthropogenic impacts and to regional measures for their protection and conservation, assessing the potential of different technologies and approaches and quantifying the returns in terms of ecosystem services and their socio-economic implications.

Announcement for a grant on experiments in marine restoration
The research activity will be carried out within the framework of the project Marine Ecosystem Restoration in Changing European Seas (MERCES). The project is focused on the restoration of different degraded marine habitats, with the aim of assessing the potential of different technologies and approaches and quantifying the returns in terms of ecosystem services and their socio-economic impacts (see www.merces-project.eu for further details).
Specific aims of the grant will be subject to anthropogenic impacts and on regional measures for the protection and conservation of the seabed:
- Conducting pilot restoration experiments to improve existing and develop new restoration actions on degraded subtidal rocky assemblages, through a combination of field and mesocosm experiments.
- Contributing to the assessment of the effects of restoration on ecosystem services by collaborative efforts with partners involved within the project.
Requirements: PhD in Biology, Ecology, Marine Ecology, Marine Biology, Environmental Sciences or similar. Scientific background in marine ecology. Documented experience within the framework of descriptive / manipulative experiments dealing with coastal-marine habitats. Scuba-diving certification. Good knowledge of the English language.
Geographical area which will host the research: Mediterranean Sea – Apulia (Italy).
Contract timing: Feb. 15, 2017 – Aug. 15, 20018.
Contract amount: 43.424,00 euros.
Notes: Please, send the CV (.pdf file) by January 31, 2017, to prof. Simonetta Fraschetti referring to “experiments in marine restoration”. After a first selection, a Skype/phone interview might be necessary for addressing specific details. Requests for further information should be also directed to Simonetta Fraschetti.
The research grant “Experiments in marine restoration” has been awarded to Dr Laura Tamburello.

Announcement for a grant on citizen science in marine restoration
The research activity will be carried out within the framework of the project MERCES (http://www.merces-project.eu/).
The MERCES project is focused on the restoration of different degraded marine habitats, with the aim of:
- assessing the potential of different technologies and approaches;
- quantifying the returns in terms of ecosystem services and their socio-economic impacts;
- defining the legal-policy and governance frameworks needed to optimise the effectiveness of the different restoration approaches.
- to disseminate MERCES outcomes to the scientific and non-specialist audience for an effective and integrated restoration strategy (specific focus on water column habitats);
- to raise awareness on restoration activities through citizen-science campaigns;
- to encourage different stakeholder groups to share knowledge and identify the best practices for restoration.
Requirements: PhD in Biology, Ecology, Marine Ecology, Marine Biology, Environmental Sciences or similar. Background in marine ecology. Experience in citizen-science campaigns.
Geographical area which will host the work: Apulia (Italy).
Contract timing: Feb. 01, 2017 – Jan. 31, 2018.
Contract amount: 26.398,00 euros.
