The position is funded by the Horizon Europe project ArcSolution, but will also include related activities in other projects. Specifically, the candidate will work with the identification and quantification of the origins of plastic pollution in the Arctic and its distribution in marine ecosystems.<\/p><p>The project will be grounded in field observations and will also examine the impacts of plastics on the marine environment, focusing on interactions between marine animals and plastic debris. These activities will also include a citizen science component to gain a broader data foundation and raise awareness of the issue.<\/p><p>The results will support management measures and policy initiatives to reduce plastic pollution. The position opens to a wide field of collaboration with research institutions, competent authorities, and other stakeholders ensures a comprehensive approach. The goal is to develop a better understanding of plastics in the northern environment that can be used to protect marine ecosystems and mitigate the harmful effects of plastic pollution.<\/p><p>The ArcSolution project has established an early career scientist network that the candidate would be a part of and that encourages networking and scientific exchange and will also expose the candidate to the strong scientific community of 14 partners in ArcSolution.<\/p><p>The candidate\u2019s main tasks will be:<\/p><ul><li>participation in litter identification in the Arctic<\/li><li>analysing data and reporting citizen science activities in this context<\/li><li>presenting results at scientific meetings and publishing in international
