Offer Description A competition is open for the attribution of a research grant as part of the project REMORA - warm Robotics for Aquatic Resource Enhancement and Observation, with reference COMPETE-FEDER-**, financed by the EU and Portugal ** through the program COMPETE, at the Research Unit - Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research, according to the following conditions:
1.Scientific Area Physical Oceanography, Ocean Dynamics, Ocean Engineering or related field.
2. Admission Requirements
Bachelor in a relevant scientific area
Experience in multidisciplinary data analysis
Knowledge of the Portuguese language at the user level
Proficiency in the English language
Immediate availability
Enrolled in a master program, aiming at consolidating their scientific training through the development of research work leading to the achievement of the respective academic degree, or in a non-academic degree courses integrated in the educational project of a higher education institution developed in association or cooperation with one or more R&D units, at the time of the contract signature.
*Students who are enrolled in non-degree-granting courses may only be awarded if they do not exceed, with the signing of the grant contract in question, including possible renewals, an accumulated period of two years in that type of grant, whether consecutive or intermittent. Proof of enrolment must be submitted at the time of contracting. These grants are intended for the performance of R&D activities by students aiming at the consolidation of their scientific training through the development of research work leading to the attainment of the respective academic degree, integrated into R&D projects.
3. Admission Preferential Criteria

Proven participation in scientific projects in the area.
Experience at working within multidisciplinary teams.
Capacity for initiative and responsibility.
4. Work Plan The REMORA project – Swarm Robotics for Aquatic Resource Enhancement and Observation – aims to transform the monitoring and management of aquatic ecosystems through a cyber-physical architecture that integrates swarm robotics, digital twins (DTs), and human-swarm interaction into a single operational cycle. This innovative solution will be demonstrated in two aquatic systems: a marina and a fish farm. The selected candidate will support the multidisciplinary data measurement and analysis obtained from the two aquatic systems, helping in the calibration and validation of the sensors on board of the swam robots. Additionally, the selected candidate will assist the consortium's Digital Twin developers with the integration of the measured components and validation of multi-sensory data.
5. Legislation and official rules The competition is governed by the Research Fellow Statute (Estatuto do Bolseiro de Investigação Científica), approved by Law no. *, of August 18, in its current wording, and by the Regulation for Research Grants of the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P. (FCT, I.P. Regulation no. **, as amended).
6. Work place The selected candidate will be integrated into the LOAI research group and work at CIIMAR – Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research, at Terminal de Cruzeiros do Porto de Leixões, Avenida Norton de Matos, s/n, ** Matosinhos, Portugal. The selected candidate will have to make periodic visits to the two aquatic systems (a marina and an aquaculture) during the period of the contract for monitoring the systems.
7. Duration of the contract 12 months, eventually renewal up to legal terms.
8. Monthly Stipend The monthly maintenance allowance is € *,98 in agreement with the monthly maintenance stipend table of the grants directly attributed by FCT, I.P. within the country by bank transfer payment.
