The ECOSPHERE Research Group of the Department of Biology in the Faculty of Science is looking for a **full-time (100%) postdoc research associate in the field of quantifying and modelling marine and coastal ecosystem services.**
**Context**
ECOSPHERE is a research group of the Department of Biology at the University of Antwerp. ECOSPHERE’s research concentrates on the ecology of aquatic ecosystems and wetlands and the processes in the land-water interaction along the whole river continuum and the river-coastal sea interaction.
The concept of ecosystem services has gained attention since the publications of Costanza et al. (1997) in Nature and the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment in 2005. The concept received increasing attention ever since, both from science and policy. The strong integrative and multidisciplinary character allows to make the link between ecology, economy and society, creating opportunities for better underpinned nature and environmental policy. Major advances have been made for the quantification and modelling of terrestrial ecosystem services but for the marine and coastal environment research is still in its infancy. At the same time, the intensity of use of our marine space is accelerating (e.g. offshore wind parks, sand extraction,). Innovative nature-based solutions to protect against climate change effects are increasingly gaining attention. Coastal Nature based solutions such as beach nourishments, artificial islands and seaward dune development (dune in front of dike) protect coastal areas from flooding, and also provide other ecosystem services such as recreation, increased biodiversity, less sand nuisance behind the dunes, etcBut coastal NbS often require a lot of sand, while the sand resources in the North Sea are being depleted at a rapid pace. The sand extraction itself also has significant impact on the marine ecosystem. The use of alternative sand sources in NbS may be a solution, but may also impact ecosystem functions and servicesFor a sustainable future of our seas, it is of utmost importance to understand how these activities impact on the system and to scientifically underpin their capacity to provide ecosystem services. Research is needed on the sustainability and feasibility of coastal NbS, bringing together aspects of NbS-design and sand extraction practices. The findings can ultimately contribute to the development of a long-term strategy for the sustainable use of sand in nature-based solutions.
Therefore ECOSPHERE is looking for a research associate (postdoc level) to develop methods to quantify and model the impact of human activities on marine and coastal ecosystem functioning and the thereof dependent human well-being (ecosystem services).
**Your position**
- You are the project coordinator (scientifical and administrative) of a multi-year research project on coastal Nature based Solutions involving multiple partner institutes;
- You develop models to quantify ecosystem services. You do this by integrating knowledge, models, model results and equations of ecosystem processes into an integrative modelling software (e.g. petri nets, system dynamics models, Bayesian network models) and link them to the socio-economic demand for ecosystem services. You will use the models to study impacts of human activities on ecosystem services, optimise the design of nature-based solutions and draw decision-supportive conclusions from this;
- To achieve this, you work in close collaboration with the involved research institutes and the members of the stakeholder board (industries and governments);
- You supervise PhD students in the field of marine and coastal ecosystem services;
- You write or help to write new project proposals to attract external funding;
- You disseminate your work via scientific articles and presentations at (inter)national conferences and gatherings.
**Your profile**
- You hold a PhD degree in the field of oceanography, ecology, biology, geography, bio-engineering or related discipline;
- ‘You have a good understanding of hydrodynamic, morphodynamic, b
