About the role:

We seek a dynamic and pro-active early career researcher to support the Seafloor & Habitat Mapping team in the delivery of a series of habitat mapping projects. The role will mainly involve participation in projects in the sphere of overseas development, and will include data acquisition (through expeditions at sea, or from overseas coastal states), processing, interpretation and communication under the form of research publications, reports, and presentations to scientific and non-scientific audiences. You will also have the chance to develop your own research ideas as part of the habitat mapping team.
