Research Assistant in Marine Ecology

Full time, fixed term contract for 18 months

We are seeking to recruit a Research Assistant to work as part of the Capturing our Coast (CoCoast) research project for the University of Portsmouth Southern regional hub. CoCoast is a national marine citizen science programme addressing questions on anthropogenic threats to intertidal community structure and biodiversity by engaging a unique network of volunteers (citizen scientists) to collect and analyse data. The post holder will provide day-to-day field and laboratory support to the Portsmouth-based Senior Research Associate, and will be directly line managed by Dr Gordon Watson (PI).

Working with instruction from the Senior Research Associate, the Research Assistant will assist with research, analysing data, information delivery to stakeholders and volunteer training. The successful candidate will have an appropriate undergraduate degree qualification as well as knowledge and experience of coastal intertidal ecology and research (collection, presenting and analysing data). The Research Assistant will also benefit from a tailored Professional Development programme of marine-focused skills and training that aims to prepare the post-holder for employment in the marine sector after completion of the project.

This post is funded by Heritage Lottery Fund with a start date in September 2015. If you are interested in being considered for any of the six similar posts in this project (at the other hubs) you are strongly advised to apply to the other institutions separately. A driving licence valid for the UK and willingness to work flexible hours (weekends and evenings) are essential.

The Southern regional hub post is based at the Institute of Marine Sciences which is an internationally renowned marine centre providing research and teaching, supporting over 200 staff, undergraduates and postgraduates, but with strong interdisciplinary links across the University, including the University of Portsmouth Environmental Network and the School of Biological Sciences. Portsmouth is a dynamic and innovative place to work and study and the University is committed to delivering an excellent student experience in conjunction with world-class research.
