Ocean Career: Habitat Mapping Specialist at the National Oceanography Centre

ECO Posted On May 24, 2022

We are the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) - the UK's centre of excellence for oceanographic sciences. We are a national research organisation, delivering integrated marine science and technology from the coast to the deep ocean.

We are made up of a dynamic and vibrant community whose focus is on improving the world in which we live. Our work is balanced by our strong sense of purpose, values and behaviours and an unwavering commitment to a ‘one NOC’ approach.

We have a rich history dating back to 1949, and our future has never looked more exciting as we aim to be the world’s most innovative oceanographic institution.

About the role

NOC is opening a position in the Seafloor & Habitat Mapping team, part of the Seafloor Ecosystems subgroup in the Ocean BioGeosciences Group, for an expert in marine habitat mapping, to contribute to and drive habitat mapping research, particularly in deep-water environments (e.g. submarine canyons, cold-water coral reefs, seamounts, hydrothermal vents).

The role will combine both the development of new research (i.e. writing proposals, leading new projects), including the development of new (quantitative/AI) habitat mapping techniques in addition to topics related to the interest and expertise of the successful candidate, with contributions to existing research projects (e.g. the NERC-funded CLASS programme, the EU H2020 funded project iAtlantic), including research coordination, development and delivery through research expeditions at sea, high-quality publications, stakeholder communication, student supervision and wider outreach activities.

About you

We are looking for candidates with a PhD in earth sciences, environmental/marine sciences or engineering, who have a number of years of post-PhD research experience, preferably in the study of deep-sea environments. You are ready to take on project and team leadership, and to develop your own research projects, to progress your research portfolio. You have strong numerical and GIS skills, particularly applied to spatial problems in the marine environment. You will preferably have experience with the use of new technologies and marine robotic systems for deep-water sampling and surveying, in addition to a good knowledge of acoustic mapping techniques.

The vision of the team is to develop an integrated approach to the study of deep-water environments, combining multiple disciplines to increase understanding. We therefore are looking for candidates who can demonstrate a keen interest in multidisciplinary research. Experience in leading research activities, coordinating small teams and/or supervision will be a plus. You will also have a track record in scientific publishing and attracting funding, appropriate for your career stage.

Why the NOC?

We offer a generous set of benefits including 28 days annual leave, plus 3.5 local closure days and 8 public bank holidays, and a contributory Group Personal Pension Plan.

We are committed to flexible working, trusting our staff to get the job done. We offer an inclusive and supportive environment where our people can meet their full potential.

Southampton: The centre is well connected by public transport and has ample cycle parking in addition to free onsite car-parking. We support opportunities for further training and development.

Salary : £45,586
Contract type : Full-time / Fixed term appointment (3 years, potential to become permanent)
Location : Southampton
Application Deadline : June 17, 2022
