This an exciting opportunity for an ambitious marine biologist/ecologist to join our well-established marine science research and teaching community. You will be expected to conduct world-leading research and to deliver research-led teaching in the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences (SNES).
We welcome applications from any area of marine biology/ecology. Example areas including, but are not limited to: marine zoology, fish biology/ecology, conservation and biodiversity, molecular biology/ecology. Newcastle University has a rich heritage in undertaking marine science research and is one of the few UK universities with its own marine station (Dove Marine Laboratory).
You will be joining an ambitious and collegiate group of marine scientists, as well as interacting with colleagues from a wide range of disciplines within SNES.
The School is involved in a number of DTPs and CDTs (e.g. NERC One Planet, IAPETUS2) in these research areas ensuring ready access to PhD studentships and external partners (e.g. British Antarctic Survey).
Alongside your research you will be expected to contribute to our Marine Biology/Zoology and Biological Sciences undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programmes. We are a world class research-led teaching university and are particularly keen to appoint candidates with modern and innovative teaching approaches, which will inspire, engage and equip our students to tackle the grand challenges our planet faces.
