What: Marine Mammal Scientist (pinnipeds) Where: Falkland Islands Duration: 2.5 years Salary: starting at £38,288 Closing date: 22 August SAERI is hiring a Marine Mammal Scientist based in the Falkland Islands. The Falkland Islands is a wildlife wonderspot, which offers a fantastic lifestyle and a low cost of living. The Marine Mammal Scientist role is wide ranging, but includes modelling factors that could help predict seal bycatch, tracking seals to understand how and when they overlap with fishing effort, stable isotope analysis to understand trends dietary over time, and building trophodynamic models - all to better understand seal-fishery interactions. While the Marine Mammal Scientists might have expertise in one or more of these areas, they will also have the support of existing staff. The project is in partnership with Falkland Islands Government (DNR-Fisheries) and industry (FIFCA - Falkland Islands Fishing Companies Association). The start date is negotiable, but ideally October 2022. SAERI offers a dynamic working environment with opportunities to develop exciting research and collaborations locally and internationally, in what is considered to be a scientific ‘frontier’ region.
