ΤΟ ΠΑΝΕΠΙΣΤΗΜΙΟ ΚΡΗΤΗΣ ΖΗΤΑ ΕΡΕΥΝΗΤΗ

The object of the researcher to be employed is to design experiments in order to test fish behavior (in controlled laboratory conditions). The final goal of this position is to produce 2 reports: a) behavior of nocturnal species b) behavior of trapped species Expertise in aquaculture and especially in fish maintenance in open and closed recirculating systems is required. Expertise in fish monitoring and behavior. The candidate should have also published scientific articles and have documented ability of designing and executing scientific experiments. 

The project is co-financed by the European Union (European Social Fund - ESF) and Greek national funds through the Operational Programme «Competitiveness and Entrepreneurship» (OPCE ΙΙ). 
Duration: 3 months 
Net monthly amount: 1.355,01€ 
Description The object of the entire project is to design devices that will help protect the juveniles of various species in the Greek seas. In order to do so, two kinds of devices will be produced: 1.Fish aggregating devices: smart devices that could be used to protect juvenile fish in the most vulnerable phase of their life in order to increase the fish population in a natural way through the decrease of the natural mortality. 2.Trapping devices: highly selective devices that can attract and trap mature fish, when it has almost concluded its life cycle. The object of the researcher to be employed is to design experiments in order to test fish behavior (in controlled laboratory conditions) with respect to the 2 devices mentioned above. Expertise in aquaculture and especially in fish maintenance in open and closed recirculating systems. Expertise in fish monitoring and behavior. The candidate should have also published scientific articles and have documented ability of designing and executing scientific experiments.
