Postdoctoral Research Fellow

University of Stirling

Postdoctoral Research Fellow Apply Post Details

Full time Fixed term for 24 months

The closing date for applications is midnight on Sunday 22 January 2023. Interviews are expected to take place week commencing Monday 06 February 2023.

There is an expectation that work will be undertaken in the UK.

For the purposes of sponsorship, this is a postdoctoral role under SOC code 2119.

The University of Stirling recognises that a diverse workforce benefits and enriches the work, learning and research experiences of the entire campus and greater community. We are committed to removing barriers and welcome applications from those who would contribute to further diversification of our staff and ensure that equality, diversity and inclusion is woven into the substance of the role. We strongly encourage applications from people from diverse backgrounds including gender, identity, race, age, class, and ethnicity.

The Post

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position to work on a new interdisciplinary research project “Addressing the ability of marine aquaculture to respond to climate change using systems thinking and precision- based frameworks”, funded through the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship (FLF) Programme. The post will be based in Stirling and the successful candidate will become part of a wider team, working with project partners and key stakeholders in the UK and internationally.

The overall research aim of this £1.5 million project is to deliver a rigorous scientific framework for assessing impact of climate change on marine aquaculture using systems thinking and precision-based information. The project is highly interdisciplinary, covering aspects of climate, environmental, biological, and social science, including historical data, research trials, farmers experience and future projections. The research will generate new knowledge, methodologies, models, and tools that will benefit academics, industry, and policymakers in the UK and internationally.

This Postdoctoral Research Fellow position has an interdisciplinary focus and concerns the adaptive capacity of the salmon sector to climate change. The emphasis will be Scotland and Norway, although other salmon producing countries will also be included in some analyses. The successful candidate will work alongside other members of the project team to use industry data (complex datasets of biological, environment, production, economic factors), stakeholder consultation (interviews, workshops etc) and analysis of literature to establish a knowledge base of industry trends and implications for adaptive capacity. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will lead the development and use of new modelling approaches to analyse the trade-offs between different approaches to adaptation, to understand how farming conditions may change with changing climate and to evaluate the potential for climate change adaptation in Scottish and Norwegian salmon aquaculture.

Informal inquiries are welcome and should be directed to Dr Lynne Falconer, Institute of Aquaculture, Faculty of Natural Sciences (lynne.falconer1@stir.ac.uk).

Description of Duties

This position will focus on the potential impacts of climate change on salmon aquaculture, and the potential adaptation responses that are, or could be, available.

The main responsibilities of the post holder will be:

Lead a PESTLE analysis for salmon aquaculture

Lead the development and use of models (e.g., probabilistic graphical models, Bayesian networks) to explore potential climate change adaptation decisions in salmon aquaculture

Lead the development of a model to investigate trade-offs between decisions on adaptation strategies

Work with the project team and partners in Scotland and internationally to collect, collate, process, and analyse a wide range of complex data from diverse sources

Write and contribute to publications and disseminate research findings using other appropriate media

Deliver presentations at conferences, project meetings, stakeholder engagement workshops, and other relevant events

Co-supervise undergraduate and postgraduate student research projects

Support organisation of project meetings and stakeholder engagement events

Undertake other appropriate project-related duties as required

Essential Criteria

A PhD in Aquaculture, marine science, or a related field

Experience modelling complex systems and trade-offs (e.g. using probabilistic graphical models or other approaches)

Expertise in use of modelling programmes and software (e.g. HUGIN, or equivalent)

Experience in data acquisition and processing, analysis, and interpretation of complex datasets

Evidence of working in an interdisciplinary environment

Evidence of self-motivation and the ability to work independently

Evidence of being able to work as part of a team

Excellent time management skills including ability to prioritise workload

Desirable Criteria

Experience in salmon aquaculture

Experience in climate change research

Experience working with a range of stakeholders (interviews, surveys, workshops etc)
