Opportunity to work on a an SEUPB Acclimatise project, a project supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) that seeks to study plankton-climate interactions in Irish shelf sea systems. SAMS currently operates two automated plankton counters (Imaging Flowcytobots - IFCBs) for the real time collection, enumeration and reporting of phytoplankton data.

Opportunity to join a dynamic marine biotechnology team focused on the ‘up-cycling’ of marine waste streams into high value metabolites and products (such as lipids and pigments). This research will focus on developing novel cultivation strategies for marine heterotrophic protists grown on different waste streams, optimising growth and metabolite production.

Opportunity to join the SAMS Macroalgal Cultivation Team to deliver research as part of the International Bioeconomy Macroalgal Centre (IBMC). This exciting and stimulating post will see you spearhead development of population genomics of two kelp species with the goal to leverage this data to support biodiversity conservation, biobanking and kelp farming in the UK and beyond.
