Do you want to use your scientific and research expertise to play an important role in decisions made on the sustainable delivery of marine renewables and the marine environment?
The Marine Renewables and Ecology Team (MRE) in the Marine Directorate provides specialist scientific advice to stakeholders, regulators and policy makers. The MRE team currently has around 25 staff who provide advice within government on the potential environmental impacts of marine renewable energy on key receptors including birds, marine mammals, fish and fisheries, benthic habitats, and diadromous fish.
A key environmental receptor group in relation to marine renewable energy are seabirds, and we are looking to build our team of scientists by recruiting an additional marine ornithologist.
As a Marine Ornithologist, you will provide scientific advice within Scottish Government on marine birds, including on regulatory, planning, and policy workstreams related to marine renewable energy development. You will contribute to both internal (the Scottish Marine Energy Research (ScotMER) Programme) and external (e.g. Offshore Renewables Joint Industry Partnership (ORJIP), Offshore Wind Evidence and Change (OWEC) Programme) renewables research initiatives.
