Research careers in marine and ocean sciences

On marinephd.com we keep vacancy types separate on purpose:

• Open PhD Positions — doctoral roles with a project, supervisor, and usually a stipend or employment contract.
• Postdoctoral Fellowships — fixed-term research roles after the PhD, often with a host lab and fellowship funding.
• Jobs for Researchers — scientific staff, technicians, research engineers, and other institute roles that are not PhD studentships.

Institute scholarship programmes (browse under PhD Scholarships) describe ongoing doctoral training at a university or institute; they are not the same as a single open vacancy with a deadline.

Start with the comparison and “how to read an ad” pages if you are unsure which role type fits you. Then jump into the matching hub and filter by country or discipline. Keep a deadline calendar — missing a call by a day usually means waiting for the next round. Always confirm eligibility and deadlines on the official institute page before you apply.

Funded doctoral money models (stipend vs salary) are covered in the funded PhD pillar; this pillar is about career-stage catalogs.
