Research Assistant (Fishing Industry)

Reducing the catch of unwanted species is a major goal for fisheries globally. The challenge is acute in Scottish waters because of the mixed fish community and legislation banning the discarding of commercial species at sea. Avoidance of endangered wildlife such as marine mammals and seabirds is also a key priority for the Scottish fishing industry.

Real-time reporting (RTR) is the term used for the rapid, semi-automated collation, processing and sharing of catch data to avoid locations associated with high catches of unwanted species. RTR requires skippers to share catch and location information of high catches of unwanted species or sizes of fish. While the development of RTR software is technically straightforward, implementation can be impeded by the reluctance of fishermen to voluntarily share their data.

Working as part of an experienced team that includes IT specialists, fisheries researchers and industry scientists, the post holder will contribute to all three parts of the project (described above) over a two-year period. The post can be based either at the University of Aberdeen or at the office of an industry partner (e.g. Scottish Fisherman’s Organisation based in Edinburgh), depending on practicalities. The post could also accommodate someone who is permanently based near the west coast of Scotland.

Salary will be at the appropriate point on Grade 5, £30,619 - £34,314 with placement according to qualifications and experience.
