If you are based in the Netherlands, and keen to work internationally on technically challenging projects that really make a difference to marine and climate science, then MARIS has the ideal job for you!
We are looking for preferably a Master of Science in a technical study, who is looking for the next career step after working for several years (e.g. 3-7 years). You ideally have a solid technical basis, excellent communication skills, both orally and in writing, developing management skills, and a broad scientific interest.
The health of the oceans and seas, together with the changes in the climate, offer challenges for finding solutions to which MARIS with its (inter)national partners is contributing by developing and operating marine environmental data management infrastructures and related services. These infrastructures and services support scientists, but also aim to inform citizens and policy makers about the status and changes of the sea and climate. With your knowledge and effort you will strengthen our team for these interesting challenges, while at the same time you will develop yourself into an all-round project engineer, and develop your project management skills. Our work domain is international: Various projects are being undertaken with (co)financing from the EU, matching the Marine Knowledge, Blue Economy and Green Deal agendas.
