The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to an interdisciplinary project investigating the ecological and socioeconomic cumulative impacts of offshore wind farm (OWF) development in marine systems. The project aims to assess how expanding OWFs influence marine ecosystems and socioeconomic sectors by integrating ecological food-web effects with economic impact pathways. The overall ambition is to support adaptive management and policy development for sustainable offshore wind expansion and marine multi-use.
The position will focus on the socioeconomic dimensions of cumulative OWF development, including interactions with marine sectors such as fisheries and aquaculture, and their long-term implications under future development scenarios. The successful candidate will contribute to the assessment of cumulative impacts and trade-offs associated with offshore wind expansion, while contributing to the development of integrated ecological–economic perspectives in close collaboration with project partners across disciplines.
The work will involve analysing and evaluating key socioeconomic interactions and impacts linked to offshore wind development, considering both direct and indirect effects as well as broader links to ecosystem services and marine resource use. The project combines synthesis of existing knowledge, analytical assessment, and engagement with relevant stakeholders and policy contexts.
The project outcomes are expected to contribute to regional research and policy processes related to offshore wind farm development and marine sustainability and to support evidence-based approaches for balancing renewable energy development with marine ecosystem and socioeconomic sustainability.
