**Research Assistant in Marine Quantitative Tropicalisation Research**:
**Are you an early career researcher looking for your first challenge? Do you have a background in quantitative (marine) ecology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?**

We offer an exciting role to conduct research on a new project to improve our ability to manage the complex changes in temperate, subtropical and tropical reef communities due to tropicalisation, _i.e._, multi-taxon poleward range shifts, within existing marine protected area systems in our case study country Japan. The role involves mostly quantitative ecological and conservation science research on a collaborative project with Japanese and UK collaborators on a project that aims to satisfy the objectives of quantifying tropicalisation footprints, _i.e._, spatiotemporal change in communities and connecting managers of protected areas along a range-shifting latitudinal gradient to also facilitate a marine climate change management agenda in Japan.

For this role, you should have a first degree/Masters in quantitative ecology, ideally with some marine background or a closely allied discipline. You should also have experience in modelling and quantitative analysis in R, using ecological and/ or eDNA datasets and environmental/ climate datasets.
