Chercheur en écologie benthique (H/F) [IFREMER: benthic ecologist]

Job profile :
Les écosystèmes marins profonds recèlent une forte diversité biologique liée à la variabilité des environnements benthiques. La biodiversité et la dynamique de ces écosystèmes à l’état naturel sont encore bien mal connues ; pourtant ils font l’objet d’un intérêt croissant pour l’exploitation des ressources naturelles qu’ils abritent. C’est pourquoi l’Unité Etudes des Ecosystèmes Profonds développe des projets de recherche destinés à acquérir des connaissances sur la biodiversité et le fonctionnement de ces écosystèmes afin de contribuer à proposer des solutions pour une exploitation responsable des ressources qu’ils abritent...
