The Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) is one of the oldest
oceanographic organizations in the world, with a complex history; a core
mission embedding research, education, and expert advice; and a diverse
engagement across the disciplinary boundaries of marine science. The
Association has approximately 600 external members and is a
Collaborative Centre of the UK Natural Environment Research Council
(http://www.nerc.ac.uk), hosting its National Facility for Scientific
Diving and the Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa.
The Association is currently accepting applications for the following
professor/reader positions:
Deep Sea Biology (Reference: ARC/SAMS/RP01) Applicants should have an
international profile within the broad field of deep sea biology and
should be an authority on ecosystem function and dynamics,
phylogeography using molecular biology or statistics, and/or
environmental impacts.Sediment Biogeochemistry (Reference: ARC/SAMS/RP02) Applicants should
have an international profile within the broad field of sediment
biogeochemistry and should be considered an authority on diagenetic
modelling, sediment microbiology, or biomarkers/natural products
chemistry.Ecosystem Modelling (Reference: ARC/SAMS/RP03) Applicants should have
an international profile within the broad field of ecosystem modelling,
with an emphasis on the coupling of physical and biological models
applied to either pelagic or benthic realms.
Informal enquiries about the above reader/professor positions should be
directed to:
Professor Graham Shimmield
