You should possess good interactive web development skills to manage databases using JavaScript (AJAX) and PHP/Python in an Apache/Linux environment.

You will work on electronic tagging data coming from experiments dedicated to the understanding of gregarious fish behaviours under FADs (Fish Aggregating Device). Spatial data with high resolution acquired by different telemetry methods are already available.

You will contribute to purchase and consolidate the studies by confront the results coming from field data analyses to model outputs.

Knowledge in marine biology and telemetry are suitable.

You should have to participate to tagging experiment in the open-field.
You need obviously good verbal and written presentation and communication skills in English, good working knowledge of Word and Excel and databases and proven ability to work as part of an interdisciplinary team.
