Posted on Tuesday, March 5, 2024

Location: Glasgow
Salary: £39,347 to £44,263 per annum (Grade 7)
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 23rd August 2024
Closes: 19th September 2024
Job Ref: 153729

We are looking for an ambitious and motivated Research Associate to make a leading contribution to an exciting new project on data-driven Sustainable Aquaculture working with Prof Martin Llewellyn, Dr. Sofie Spatharis and Dr. Simon Babayan.

The successful candidate will join a consortium of Aquaculture Industry partners from UK, Norway and Sweden to work towards developing quantitative tools that will boost the sustainability of salmon and seaweed sectors. These projects involve the deployment of state of the art mobile marine aquaria and close integration with colleagues from the aquaculture industry as well as leading UK universities working in marine systems – Plymouth, SAMS, Stirling, Aberdeen and the Roslin Institute, Edinburgh.

Salmon and seaweed marine aquaculture are facing existential challenges that originate from the plankton. Specifically, salmon gill pathology and seaweed biofouling are driving important financial losses to the industry, both mainly caused by species originating from the zooplankton and phytoplankton. The successful candidate will contribute to the generation and compilation of diverse data streams from this project (eDNA, biotic, abiotic, transcriptomic) and undertake quantitative analyses using Machine Learning approaches to drive forward our understanding of factors affecting fish gill health and seaweed biofouling. Daily interactions with diverse industry and academic colleagues alongside skills development and training will provide a perfect platform to launch a career in data-driven marine biology and aquaculture.

Project partners are world leaders in coastal ecology, marine biodiversity and eDNA metabarcoding. The post will involve a mix of dry and wet-lab work and the candidate will join an exciting, friendly and experienced research team with opportunities for secondment across UK, Norway and Sweden.

This post is full time and has funding until 1^st April 2027.
