Who are we?

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

The post holder will work with engineers and scientists across the wider OTEG team to optimise prototype _in situ _systems and the analytical techniques they employ. They will disseminate this work internally and externally through training, documentation, peer reviewed publications, patents and licensing agreements with companies. This person will support others in the group through training, analytical support, fieldwork, administrative functions and supervision of students and junior staff as required.

The Ocean Technology and Engineering Group (OTEG) is team of forty scientists, engineers and graduate students who work together to invent, develop and test oceanographic sensors and ocean sampling equipment. Most of the group’s projects are international collaborations and our sensors are deployed globally. We actively seek to commercialise our sensors so that they can be used more widely. We are equipped with world class fabrication, testing and design facilities together with instrumentation and analytical laboratories and access to sea going and polar research logistics.
