New CPR Survey Project Team – iCPR (4 Positions)
Following significant international investment, the Continuous Plankton
Recorder (CPR) Survey has a unique opportunity to build a fully funded research
team as part of a major project to further the instrumentation programme of the
CPR (iCPR). We plan to expand the use of modern sensing technology and
introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) across our existing global-ocean
plankton observation network. We will apply machine-learning techniques (AI) on
digital imaging technology, environmental sensors and biological records. This
will allow us to rapidly identify plankton taxa, better understand their
spatio- temporal distribution and predict potential changes in plankton
communities to help us forecast the health of the ocean. Candidates must hold a
PhD in a relevant subject area (or suitable degree-level qualification for the
software engineer post) and ideally have exceptional numerical and analytical
skills. The work location will be the MBA in Plymouth, UK. Salary is
commensurate with experience, and based on the UCEA scale. The four positions
include a Senior Scientist (Hardy Fellow) to lead the group (£41,526 – 49,553),
2 x Post-Doctoral Research Assistants (£27,511 – £33,979), and a Software
Engineer (£20,675 - £26,715). Application details on our website:
