PURPOSE OF THE ROLE
A unique and exciting opportunity in a pan-European and multi-institutional setting; we are seeking a candidate to work on a multi-species marine telemetry project (DTOTrack) combining studies on migratory and marine fish species, cetaceans and seals in the seas around Ireland, Northern Ireland and Europe. As part of this ambitious project the Scientific Officer (SO) - Field Telemetry will establish a series of marine acoustic telemetry arrays and take a leading role in delivering a number of marine telemetry studies. Working closely with DTOTrack Project Partners and other members of the Loughs Agency team, the post holder will be part of a team that will coordinate the installation of an acoustic receiver network and fish tagging programme across the target area.
The role will also require the post holder to work with other project staff as necessary to ensure agreed project targets and outputs are met. The post holder will also be required to disseminate results to a variety of stakeholders in the form of reports, policy briefings and presentations as necessary.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The ocean is a notoriously challenging area to conduct scientific research. Marine fish evolve in an environment that is not readily accessible to researchers, leading to fragmented and sometimes non-existent knowledge of species distribution, behaviour and ecology. The concept of generating digital twins of the ocean is borne from the necessity of having tools and methodologies available to support research and management activities on Europe’s seas.
In the DTOTrack Project, seven North Sea Member States (Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden) and two periphery states (Ireland and Canada) will collaborate to deploy regional infrastructure (transmitters and receivers) and leverage existing physical (STRAITS and NorTrack arrays) and digital infrastructure (LifeWatch, European Tracking Network database) to develop a digital twin of the North Sea’s fauna. The main objectives of DTOTrack are:
• Coordinate tracking efforts for highly mobile and migratory species to understand drivers of inter-basin movements in the North Sea;
• Map the movements of species and ocean developments (e.g., oil rigs, wind farms, fish farms) in the North Sea;
• Develop tools and methods to operationalise animal movement in the North Sea as a digital twin.
As the Lead Partner and the only Irish partner in the consortium, Loughs Agency will support the consortium through its project management and animal tracking programme in the Foyle and Carlingford catchments as well as “Europe’s largest fish counter” in the North Channel.
The project is funded through the EU’s Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (SBEP) Programme with national funding from Marine Institute (MI) Ireland.
Essential Criteria
Applicants must demonstrate that they possess the following criteria, by the closing date for applications. Each essential criteria will be applied.
1. A degree in an environmental area AND minimum two years’ relevant research experience.
2. A minimum one year’s experience of managing resources and formal reporting in a scientific research project environment.
3. Evidence of the skills and experience of working in demanding field environments.
4. Excellent communication skills (oral and written), including public presentations and ability to communicate complex data / concepts clearly and concisely.
Desirable Criteria
Some or all of the following criteria MAY be used in the event of a large number of suitably qualified applications.
1. Postgraduate qualification in an environmental area.
2. Specific knowledge and demonstrable experience of the use of practical field telemetry for animal tracking.
3. Demonstrable experience setting up and using acoustic arrays in marine and/or freshwater environments.
4. Experience with surgical implantation of tags in marine organisms.
