Closing date : 28 November 2024
Number of positions : One
Length of term : Three years with potential for extension

The Natural Environment Research Council’s (NERC) FMRI programme is seeking a new lead scientist to shape the UK’s next major investment in its national marine research infrastructure.

You will ensure FMRI supports the ambitions of the UK science community into the next decade. This includes leading the FMRI Science Requirements Framework (SRF) for science-led decisions throughout the FMRI programme.

This can be a part-time role to allow individuals to continue research activities or management responsibilities with a minimum of 0.5 FTE in the Lead Scientist role.

We are looking for someone who can connect with scientists and engineers to help define the best strategies for exploiting new technologies. Someone who is excited about new opportunities for marine research and can think across the big challenges. Someone who can peer over the horizon and imagine a different way of doing things.

We will fund at least 50% of your time to work as part of the programme leadership team. In this role we will ask you to engage with the marine science community to understand their future requirements, bring that knowledge to bear on the decisions that we will make, and maintain that dialogue as we move forward.
