A Marie Curie Development Postdoctoral Fellowship is available at the
Cavanilles Institute of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology of the
University of Valencia, Spain. The position is offered for 2 years. The
successful candidate will develop and optimise methods to establish
legally indisputable evidence for the harvest location of marine fish
based on statistical analysis of parasite assemblages. Besides, he/she
is expected to contribute to develop and consolidate new research lines

hold a doctoral degree or have at least 4 years of full-time research
experience at postgraduate level and be competent in identification,
