English
Job
Deadline for application: 19.09.2024
University of Glasgow – College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences – School of Biodiversity, One Health & Veterinary Medicine
The successful candidate will join a consortium of Aquaculture Industry partners from UK, Norway and Sweden to work towards developing quantitative tools that will boost the sustainability of salmon and seaweed sectors. Salmon and seaweed marine aquaculture are facing existential challenges that originate from the plankton. Specifically, salmon gill pathology and seaweed biofouling are driving important financial losses to the industry, both mainly caused by species originating from the zooplankton and phytoplankton. The research associate will contribute to the generation and compilation of diverse data streams from this project (eDNA, biotic, abiotic, transcriptomic) and undertake quantitative analyses using Machine Learning approaches to drive forward our understanding of factors affecting fish gill health and seaweed biofouling. Daily interactions with diverse industry and academic colleagues alongside skills development and training will provide a perfect platform to launch a career in data-driven marine biology and aquaculture. Project partners are world leaders in coastal ecology, marine biodiversity and eDNA metabarcoding. The post will involve a mix of dry and wet-lab work and the candidate will join an exciting, friendly and experienced research team with opportunities for secondment across UK, Norway and Sweden.
