About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Research Scientist to join our dynamic team at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC). As a key member of our research team, you will be responsible for undertaking research on automated plankton and particle sampling, quantification, and identification.

Key responsibilities include preparing and deploying a range of in situ camera systems, plankton nets, and water sampling systems, such as the Marine Snow Catcher. In the lab, you will analyze samples using FlowCam, microscopy, and other relevant systems. You will also develop workflows for data quality control, image processing, and analyses, working in close collaboration with engineers, researchers, and data centers.

Additionally, you will work with computer vision experts to evaluate machine-learning algorithms for near-real-time plankton monitoring. You will be a key member of versatile projects that span engineering, biogeochemistry, image analysis, and mathematically describing the pelagic ecosystem.

About You

We are looking for a highly motivated and independent individual who is proficient in programming languages (e.g., R, Python) and has experience working with large volumes of data. You should be comfortable with a job that includes sea-going work, laboratory work, and computer work.

As a member of our team, you will have access to a range of benefits, including 30 days contractual annual leave, plus 3.5 extra closure days and bank holidays. You will also have access to our Employee Assistance Programme, offering free and anonymous support on mental, physical, emotional, health, and financial issues.

Location

This position will be based in Southampton, with the NOC having a hybrid working approach where staff can work from home up to 2 days per week. We can support visa applications where required and may be able to offer financial support for applicants who will need to relocate for this position.
