Internship – Nuclear Insights into Ocean Alkalinity

Overview

The internship aims to develop and conduct laboratory studies investigating the impact of Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement on marine organisms using radiotracer techniques. The intern will contribute to applied research assessing how environmental shifts and chemical stressors influence coastal ecosystems and associated biota.

Key Responsibilities

• Support in the development of experimental protocols using nuclear techniques to evaluate the impacts of Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement on marine biota.
• Assist in conducting controlled laboratory experiments to monitor the bioaccumulation of metals associated with alkaline materials.
• Contribute to the assessment of physiological changes in marine organisms resulting from variations in seawater alkalinity.
• Help maintain accurate records of experimental data and laboratory observations under the supervision of the lead researchers.

Required Experience

Knowledge in marine biology, ability to conduct experiments using aquaria and marine organisms. Ability to work with marine organisms and aquaria. Good knowledge of Environmental changes, Radioecology, Marine Biology. Chemistry or Biochemistry. Experience in handling datasets and generating graphic data analysis products is an asset. Strong analytical skills: ability to articulate, conceptualize, plan and execute ideas is an asset.

Qualifications

University Degree in Marine Biology, Environmental sciences, Radioecology, Ecology or a related field.
