Cold-water Coral Ecosystem Restoration Postdoctoral Research Associate

4 months ago


Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom The University of Edinburgh Full time

Postdoctoral researcher sought to work across industry, government and academia on the REDRESS project restoring cold-water coral habitats.

The Opportunity:

Fixed term until 31st January 2028.

This post is full-time (35 hours per week) with work taking place between the Changing Oceans Group (School of GeoSciences) and Conservation Genetics Group (Roslin Institute).

Your skills and attributes for success:

  • Working with industry, government and other partners to source corals from North Sea platforms and plan their transport, husbandry and deployment in restoration sites.
  • Working with REDRESS project partners to align work and maximise efficiencies e.g. for use of artificial reef modules and to optimise restoration site selection.
  • Work with REDRESS project partners to understand resilience of restoration areas to climate change and future human uses.
  • Ensure sufficient coral populations are sampled to allow regional analysis of population genetics in North Sea and NE Atlantic margin. Complete the population genetics analysis and interpret considering pan-Atlantic analyses arising from published literature and results from recent projects.
  • Understand and contribute to the evolution of marine policy and governance regimes that ultimately regulate deep-sea ecosystem restoration.
