Summary

CSE / Geosciences
Full-time (35 hours per week )
Fixed-term until 31 January 2028
Postdoctoral researcher sought to work across industry, government and academia on the REDRESS project restoring cold-water coral habitats.
The Opportunity:
Fixed term until 31 January 2028.
This post is full-time (35 hours per week) with work taking place between the Changing Oceans Group (School of GeoSciences) and Conservation Genetics Group (Roslin Institute).
Your skills and attributes for success:
Working with industry, government and other partners to source corals from North Sea platforms and plan their transport, husbandry and deployment in restoration sites.
Working with REDRESS project partners to align work and maximise efficiencies e.g. for use of artificial reef modules and to optimise restoration site selection.
Work with REDRESS project partners to understand resilience of restoration areas to climate change and future human uses.
Ensure sufficient coral populations are sampled to allow regional analysis of population genetics in North Sea and NE Atlantic margin. Complete the population genetics analysis and interpret considering pan-Atlantic analyses arising from published literature and results from recent projects.
Understand and contribute to the evolution of marine policy and governance regimes that ultimately regulate deep-sea ecosystem restoration.
