An exciting opportunity is
available for a motivated candidate to support the work of the Sediment Ecology
Research Group (SERG) as part of a major multinational, interdisciplinary
research consortium.
We are seeking a versatile
and computer literate candidate with good field and laboratory skills relevant
to benthic ecology. We expect to attract a motivated worker with the initiative
to handle fieldwork and accepting some travel and the unsociable hours (tidal
cycles) that are occasionally required. The candidate will be based in the
Sediment Ecology Research Group (SERG) at the University of St Andrews under
the main supervision of Dr Adam Wyness and Prof. David M. Paterson. The main
purpose of the role is to support the work of
the laboratory and the design and running of experiments using laboratory
benthic mesocosms, flume system and fieldwork. Incubation of bacteria, diatoms
and handling of benthic infauna will be required but training can be given.
One year position starting as
soon as possible.
Informal enquiries to: Prof
David M. Paterson (
d.paterson@st-andrews.ac.uk).
