The 3rd phase for the 12nd edition of the Master program in Integrated Studies of the Oceans (MEIO) is open until the 29th september! There are still two positions to fill in case you are interested.
In the meantime, here are some photos from the students of the 10th edition of this master during some field trip they did on 3rd May 2018 to two lagoons by the sea (Santo Cristo and Cubres) in São Island. This field trip was carried out under the scope of this discipline: Sea and Laboratory Operational Methods II. Enjoy the views of the Azores! :-)

official opening below:

Until the 3rd of September, the 3rd phase of applications for master's degrees from the University of the Azores is open, for the purpose of occupying vacant places not occupied in the previous phases.

3-year PhD position in multidisciplinary Oceanography

The international project “Ocean Front CHANGE” (OFC), supported by the Belmont Forum over 2020-
2023, gathers natural and social scientists from 4 countries (United States of America, France, Germany
and Kenya) to study and manage ocean fronts.
In this framework, we are looking for a bright, inventive, motivated and dedicated student with strong
communication and interpersonal skills. Student with a solid background in Marine Sciences, good
computing skills and showing interests in working with this interdisciplinary team will be preferred.
Applications of candidates with a master degree in Oceanography (major) with minors such as
Dynamical systems, Computer sciences, Applied Mathematics and Statistics, Marine Biology, Theoretical
Ecology or Computational Biology would be ideal. Student with a degree in related disciplines and/or
with subsets of these skills are also encouraged to apply.
The main objective of this PhD project is to study the formation, occurrence and variability of ocean
fronts both in contemporary and future climates, and how they contribute to the structuring of marine
life. It focuses on the Mozambique Channel (extending from 12°S to 25°S between Madagascar and the
African mainland), a highly turbulent oceanic region housing diverse coastal and pelagic ecosystems that
support crucial socio-economical activities (fisheries, tourism, etc…). This topic falls within the UN
Sustainable Development Goals #13 and #14. Full description of the PhD project and context can be
found here: https://nuage.osupytheas.fr/s/aWRsd6Nozc3PRoa
The position is fully funded during three years, ideally starting in January 2021 (no later than April 1,
2021). There is no nationality restriction; gross salary is about 1800€/month; the 3-years contract
provides full social security coverage.
The PhD student will be joining a dynamic team of researchers working at the interface between Physical
and Biological Oceanography, and will be interacting more widely with all natural and social scientists
involved in OFC. The position is based at the MIO laboratory (Marseille, France) and will involve national
and international business trips to work with close collaborators and to present his/her research at
national/international conferences as well as at project meetings.
To apply, please prepare the following:
 a cover letter outlining your interests and expertise suitable for this position;
 your complete and up‐to‐date CV;
 the contact details of 1 to 3 referees.
Apply via email (to [email protected] and [email protected]; subject:
OFC-PHD) no later than 28 October 2020. Short-listed candidates will be contacted for remote
interviews in November 2020.
