The project will be led by Michelle Portman, head of the MarCoast Lab, from the Technion’s Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning. The fellow will be responsible for applying empirical social-science research methods to determine how principles of planning and ecosystem-based management are synthesized and operationalized in local, regional, national and trans-boundary marine spatial plans from different areas across the globe. The MarCoast Lab is located within the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning, at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology Haifa, Israel. Candidates are expected to move to Israel upon acceptance and to devote full-time to research. They will also be expected to be a full and active member of the lab. Additional teaching and mentoring opportunities may be available in parallel.What is offered:
The selected researcher will have a fellowship stipend for a conditional period of 12 months, and, if successful, another 12 months extension. During this period, the fellow is entitled to a monthly stipend of NIS 8000 with the possibility to receive an excellence stipend added during the second year. The fellow will have a travel budget for the purposes of collecting data and presenting research outputs at international venues. There is also the possibility of housing on the Technion’s campus, which is home to a diverse student population.
Selection criteria – Candidates must have all or most of the following criteria:
● A PhD.
● A past degree in at least one of the following disciplines: marine biology/marine
conservation, political economy, oceanography, natural resources studies, geography
(physical), marine or coastal ecology, marine/coastal geology or adjacent field.
● A passion for marine conservation and ocean protection
● Experience using GIS and/or R/STATA/SPSS
● Proficiency designing and delivering academic presentations
● Proficiency writing academic papers and/or professional reports
● Full proficiency in English (or be a native speaker) plus excellent English writing skills.
How to apply:
