The NERC Directorate of Science and Technology at the NOC contains five research groups. Our science has high socio-economic impact and tackles many of the major environmental issues of immediate concern to both Government and public.
We are now looking to recruit two high-quality candidates to open-ended posts to strengthen and expand our research in the Marine Geoscience group. http://noc.ac.uk/science-technology/research-groups/mg

Successful candidates will be expected to develop and implement a novel, imaginative and world-class research programme, supported by external funding.
