| 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 conformed by an interdisciplinary team of leading research ecologists, oceanographers and social biologists from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. The PI's and senior researchers of the center are 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 of 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 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 successful candidate will have freedom to focus these broad research questions according to his own interest and experience. Close collaboration with coastal oceanographers, mathematical ecologists and social scientists is expected. This is a full-time, 18-month 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 successful candidate will show a strong background in subtidal ecology or fisheries, hold strong statistical/analytical skills and have demonstrated experience in leading subtidal field campaigns. He/she must be interested in conducting research at the interface among fisheries, ecology and oceanography and actively interact with a collaborative team studying the main processes affecting coastal biodiversity and population abundance across a mosaic of human impact.
