IMPORTANT: This Advertiser has requested that applicants MUST be National Residents / Valid Work Permit-holders. Other applicants need not apply.
APEM is Europe’s largest specialist aquatic science consultancy, offering our clients an integrated approach to every aspect of the scientific study and management of freshwater and marine habitats. We have more than 20 years’ experience of the analysis of aquatic biological samples and one of the leading aquatic biological laboratory facilities in Europe. With the advent of the EU Water Framework Directive, and its accent on assessing ecological status, it’s crucial to be able to accurately identify the taxonomic groups sampled from the aquatic environment. As a result of APEM’s continued growth we are currently seeking high-calibre and motivated aquatic scientists to join our growing teams, based at our four laboratories.
For the Laboratory Scientist grade, you will be qualified to at least BSc level in a relevant subject and will have at least 1-2 year’s experience in the analysis of samples to species level. Your taxonomic skills should be excellent and you will be able to work efficiently under a strict internal Analytic Quality Control system, ensuring the timely delivery of the highest quality data to our clients. You will help develop APEM’s ongoing participation in external quality control schemes and to this end a thorough understanding of the operation and implementation of industry-standard AQC protocols is highly desirable. Although primarily laboratory based, you will also be expected to undertake fieldwork from time to time, involving travel around the UK and potentially working away from home for several days. Experience of deploying standard sampling methods is desirable. We would encourage employees to undertake data analysis; therefore, expertise in statistical analysis and/or the application of biotic indices is desirable, as is the ability to write and communicate effectively.
