Are you looking for a job which would allow you to play an important role in tackling the climate change emergency by helping to enable the sustainable development of offshore wind in Scotland?
The Marine Directorate of the Scottish Government are looking for someone who is passionate about applying and communicating the best available science in policy and decision making, has expertise in acoustic telemetry and fieldwork and is enthusiastic about applying their analytical skills to improve the understanding of the effect of human activities on the marine environment. If this is you, then we would like to hear from you.
In January 2022, Crown Estate Scotland announced the successful applicants to the ScotWind offshore wind leasing round. This phase of offshore wind leasing in Scottish waters will help Scotland meet its Net Zero targets, become carbon neutral by 2045 and tackle the climate emergency. The Scottish Government is responsible for identifying where the ScotWind projects will be located, administering the related offshore planning consents, and ensuring that projects are delivered in an environmentally sustainable manner. The Renewables and Ecology Team (R&E) in the Marine Directorate provide specialist scientific advice to regulators and policy makers throughout the process of reaching our renewable targets.
The R&E team currently has approximately 25 staff who provide advice within government on the potential environmental impacts of marine energy on key receptors including birds, marine mammals, fish and fisheries, benthic habitats, and diadromous fish. Our specialist advisors also provide advice on other Scottish Government policy priorities, such as marine protected area management and the regulation of other non-renewable marine activities.
You will be expected to be at sea on fieldwork for at least 45 days per annum, supporting research projects collecting data on tagged fish within the marine environment, preparing equipment, deploying and recovering equipment at sea and downloading data. A key part of the role is to manage that data in a secure and objective way so that it is easily accessible and available for analysis.
This is a 2 year Fixed Term Appointment with no possibility of extension.
