Crynodeb
Grade UE07: £41,064 to £48,822 per annum
CSE / School of GeoSciences
Full-time: 35 hours per week
Fixed-term: 27 months
The Opportunity:
We seek a postdoctoral research associate (PDRA) to join an interdisciplinary team investigating how ocean acidification will lead to habitat loss in cold-water coral ecosystems. The position is for 27-months through the NERC-funded grant on “Coralporosis of cold-water coral ecosystems - in silico reefs to model habitat loss”. The post holder will conduct acidification experiments on 3D printed coral ‘mini-reefs’ at the University of Edinburgh and St Abbs Marine Station to visualise and quantify the loss of habitat integrity in a variety of scenarios. The project will incorporate this data into existing models to create an in-silico reef to predict future habitat loss of these vulnerable marine ecosystems.
This post is full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering flexible working patterns.
The salary for this post is £41,064 to £48,822 per annum.
Your skills and attributes for success:
Experience in marine experimental research
Understanding of ocean acidification impacts to calcifying organisms
Experience in image analysis
Skills in working across interdisciplinary teams
