Environmental Research Institute
Recruitment
The waters round Scotland are estimated to hold 10% of the European wave and 25% of the European tidal energy resource. While marine renewable technologies are advancing well, major environmental questions present on-going challenges to the development of the sector.
The Environmental Research Institute (ERI) of the North Highland College in Thurso and the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) in Oban are partners in the UHI Millennium Institute (UHI); the ‘emergent university of the Highlands and Islands’. Together we have secured £4 M funding for a unique multi-disciplinary research programme to develop applied and fundamental research that supports the development of marine renewable energy in Scotland. The MaREE programme aims to address issues of ‘Resource and Risk’, ‘Environmental Impacts’ and ‘Sustainability’.
We now seek to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic and self-motivated individual to oversee the leadership and management of the MaREE programme:

Environmental Research Scientists: Marine Renewable Energy
- PDRA £23,228 - 26,864
- Fellow £26,864 - 34,767
- Senior Fellow £36,321 - 37,651
We now seek to appoint dynamic, enthusiastic and well-motivated research scientists to address environmental research priorities in the following areas:
- Climatology, physical oceanography and remote sensing (ERI):
Specialities of particular interest are tides (modelling & measurement), waves (modelling, measurement & climate), marine meteorology (e.g. weather windowing) and interactions of currents, waves, bathymetry and structures. - Marine ecology and environmental impacts (SAMS & ERI):
Particularly physical or bio-physical modelling, marine predator distribution and interaction (mammals & seabirds), ecological study design; ecological change (e.g. through currents & sedimentation); marine aggregation & disaggregation; benthic & pelagic community observation. - Sustainable development (ERI):
Integrating social, economic & environmental aspects of marine renewables.
