About the Role

The Institut de Ciències del Mar (CSIC) - Barcelona is seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join the INDICiOS project team. As a key member of the team, you will contribute to the development of a groundbreaking eco-evolutionary model that will revolutionize our understanding of marine biodiversity.

Key Responsibilities
  • Refine existing eco-evolutionary models by incorporating speciation and extinction rates and implementing Bayesian calibration techniques.
  • Reconstruct the history of the diversification of marine invertebrates, mapping the emergence, evolution, and demise of biodiversity hotspots.
  • Test hypotheses about the mechanisms underlying the origins and dynamics of the latitudinal biodiversity gradient and biodiversity hotspots.
  • Contribute to scientific publications, presentations, and the development of a web application to visualize and share the project's findings.
Requirements
  • Master's degree (completed or in progress) in mathematics, physics, biology, marine sciences, or related disciplines.
  • Programming skills (e.g., R, Matlab, Python) will be an asset.
  • Fluent in English (both written and spoken).
About the Project

INDICiOS will build upon our previous INDITEK model, a spatially explicit eco-evolutionary model. We will use state-of-the-art reconstructions of Earth's paleogeography, along with simulations of ocean environmental conditions to track the evolution of marine invertebrate diversity through hundreds of millions of years of Earth's history.

By integrating high-resolution paleogeographic reconstructions, detailed simulations of ocean environmental conditions, and sophisticated eco-evolutionary modelling, INDICiOS will generate a Phanerozoic history of the marine latitudinal biodiversity gradient and biodiversity hotspots. This unprecedented view of the past will reveal how the forces of geology and evolution have shaped the diversity of life in the oceans, providing a deeper understanding of where, when, and how animal life flourished, and crucial insights for conservation efforts.

What We Offer
  • A four-year contract to carry out a PhD thesis.
  • An estimated annual gross salary of €20,000 - €25,000, depending on the year of contract, and consistent with CSIC pay scales.
  • A full-time contract with flexible working hours and the possibility of teleworking up to 3 days a week.
