The Environmental Research Institute (ERI) is part of UHI North Highland. Located in Thurso, on the north coast of Scotland, the ERI is close to many outstanding marine resources with excellent proximity to marine energy sites for research and innovation opportunities. Sustainable use of these wind, wave and tidal stream resources is key to achieving ambitious Scottish and international renewable energy targets.
We are recruiting for a Research Fellow to develop activities in marine sensing. The researcher will benefit from the purpose-built ‘Centre for Energy and the Environment’ in Thurso, comprising modern offices, instrumentation and electronics laboratories, workshops, and access to the Pentland Firth via ERI’s research boat ‘Aurora’.
The candidate will support design, development, upgrade and deployment of autonomous marine multi-sensor platforms to investigate the environmental effects of large-scale offshore and marine renewable energy. This will include:
Previous multi-sensor platforms include FLOWBEC-4D with various applications. Recent technological advances now provide an opportunity to develop next-generation sensor platforms, ultimately informing future distributed, scalable and coordinated ocean sensing.
Applicants should have a PhD or equivalent experience. A background in Electronic Engineering, Oceanography, Ocean Technology, Physics or similar discipline is desirable.
Research interests in some of the following areas are an advantage:
Multi-disciplinary experience, knowledge of programming languages such as MATLAB or Python, and a full driving licence are desirable. Experience preparing equipment for marine surveys is a benefit.
Experience can be exemplified by:
Informal enquires can be made to Dr Benjamin Williamson, leader of the ERI’s ‘Energy’ research group: benjamin.williamson@uhi.ac.uk
Appointment will be initially for 2 years (subject to probationary period) with prospect to extend or transition to an open-ended position.
Closing date for applications Friday 3 February 2023. Interviews are planned for 15 February 2023 onwards.
Full details are available in the Recruitment Pack.
The ERI’s Strategic Plan is provided as an attachment.
