Postdoctoral Position – The Nucleo Milenio Center for Marine Conservation of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile The Marine Conservation Center is a scientific program focused on understanding the ecology and oceanography of coastal marine communities and their interaction with the heterogeneous artisanal management and social landscape. The center is based at the Estación Costera de Investigaciones Marinas in Las Cruces and is formed by an interdisciplinary team of leading research ecologists, oceanographers and social biologists from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. PI's and senior researchers of the center include: C.A. Aiken B. Broitman J.C. Castilla S. Faugueron M. Fernández S. Gelcich S.A. Navarrete C. Rodríguez E.A. Wieters The center was established to examine the effect of spatial heterogeneity in human activities (e.g., protected, dedicated and open areas)



on coastal ecosystems across a mosaic of oceanographic and biological conditions and aims to provide a sound scientific foundation for the development of compatible exploitation and conservation plans for the coast of central Chile. Position Overview This is a full‑time, 18‑month Postdoctoral Research Fellow position. The successful candidate will lead research into the processes driving temporal and spatial variation in the abundance of marine benthic organisms on the Chilean coast, with emphasis on marine reserves. The candidate will have the freedom to focus these broad research questions according to their own interest and experience and will collaborate closely with coastal oceanographers, mathematical ecologists and social scientists.
