These positions, funded by the Darwin Initiative, EU FP7 and NERC, are available immediately for up to 24 months. The main research focus of the of the posts will be Biodiversity Impacts of Marine Renewable Energy in the UK (involving at sea biodiversity monitoring) although successful candidates would be expected to interface with some of the other research areas of the group including Fisheries Bycatch, Marine Acoustics, Spatial Ecology and Conservation and Molecular Ecology.
The successful applicant will be able to present information on research progress and outcomes, communicate complex information, orally, in writing and contribute to the preparation of proposals and applications to external bodies. Marine fieldwork in the UK a will be required, so experience of working at sea would be invaluable.
Applicants will possess a PhD in a relevant discipline (or an MSc and extensive experience) and be able to demonstrate sufficient knowledge in the discipline and of research methods and techniques to work within established research programmes. As the group works on international projects, languages other than English would be an asset.
We welcome applications from candidates interested in working part-time hours or job-sharing arrangements.

Interviews are expected to take place in May/June 2013.
