Stony corals, and the vibrant coral reefs they support, are under threat from a multitude of anthropogenic stressors from ocean warming and ocean acidification to pollution and over-fishing. The calcium carbonate skeleton of stony corals is constructed within a micro-sized extracellular space sandwiched between the animal tissue and the existing skeleton. To go beyond our current empirical understanding and to better predict the fate of these important ecosystem engineers requires a mechanistic understanding of the biomineralization process. This is however currently lacking due to the difficulty of reliably and accurately determining the carbonate chemistry (i.e. the pH) of the space where skeleton construction occurs.

We will overcome this challenge here by i) developing a durable solid state dual O2/pH sensor, and ii) addressing the fundamental issue of positional feedback to maintain a constant position of a sensor inserted within the calcifying space of a mobile living organism, ensuring that the sensor is not destroyed during measurement through collision with the hard skeleton.
- A PhD (or equivalent) in the Physical Sciences in the general area of electrochemistry or electronics and instrumentation.
- Experience in the development of scanning probe techniques would be a strong advantage.
- Experience with electrochemical methods would also be advantageous but not essential.
- Skills in hypothesis-testing, experiment design, analysis of data sets and writing scientific manuscripts and reports.
- Demonstrate strong drive, ambition and motivation, with the capacity to deliver on challenging tasks and to meet deadlines both individually and as part of a team.
