Dear Colleagues, (with apologies for cross posting)
*The MSCA Doctoral Network SEASOUNDS* (Innovative marine soundscape
characterization to effectively mitigate ocean and sea noise pollution,
GA no. 101119769) *will soon be recruiting 10 highly motivated PhD
students.*We would appreciate your assistance in advertising within your
channels of communication and helping us find highly motivated students.
SEASOUNDS aims to *better characterize and predict marine soundscapes,
in order to provide recommendations for appropriate and proportionate
underwater noise mitigation solutions*, for improved know-how,
decision-making and standards setting for a sustainable Blue Growth
limiting the impact on marine wildlife. The project addresses important
knowledge gaps related to understanding, characterization and modeling
of the entire noise transfer chain, from the noise source (e.g. offshore
foundation installation, UXO disposal, shipping) to the receiver
(whether a technological tool or an animal). SEASOUNDS’ methodological
approach incorporates concepts, models, and tools from a variety of
disciplines including *underwater acoustics, seismology, mechanics,
bioacoustics, and marine biology**.* Thus, SEASOUNDS will train 10 PhD
students with high multidisciplinary, inter-sectoral, and transverse
skills, who will comprehend noise pollution issues in a holistic way.
The Network gathers 15 partners from France, Spain, Italy, The
Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Monaco and USA (see
https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101119769
<https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101119769>), and will run for 4
years from January 2024.
The PhD positions will have staggered _starting dates between
September-December 2024_ for a duration of 3 or 4 years, depending on
the host institution’s rule. The 10 individual projects are :
* *PhD position 1 at TU Delft (The Netherlands) - Environmental
vibrations and acoustic emissions from offshore foundation installation*
* *PhD position 2 at CNRS-Géoazur (France) - Imagery of seabed
sediments and sub-surface properties by Distributed acoustic sensing
(DAS) measurement*
* *PhD position 3 at CNRS-LMA (France) - Noise pollution generated by
historical Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) disposal in shallow waters*
* *PhD position 4 at NTNU Trondheim (Norway) - Modeling of shipping
noise in arctic fjords*
* *PhD position 5 at CNRS-LMA (France) - Uncertainties in the source
and environment description: influence on noise impact assessment*
* *PhD position 6 at Università degli studi di Padova (Italy) - Impact
of anthropogenic activities on underwater noise pollution in the
Venetian Lagoon*
* *PhD position 7 at Università degli studi di Padova (Italy) -
Natural and Anthropogenic Dynamics of Marine Soundscapes*
* *PhD position 8 at NTNU Trondheim (Norway) - Marine mammal
monitoring using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS)*
* *PhD position 9 at Aarhus University (Denmark) - Moving animals in a
variable soundscape*
* *PhD position 10 at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya –
BarcelonaTech (Spain) – Impact of underwater noise pollution on
marine invertebrates and plants*
Each position includes secondment opportunities.
