Job title Fully Funded MSc Researcher - Optimizing Nori Biomass Production for Yield, Quality and Value. Company University of Galway (Ireland), in collaboration with University of Aveiro (Portugal) and Bantry Marine Research Station (Ireland). Description of the job This fully funded studentship is part of an Industry-led project focusing on the production nori from Irish Porphyra species. Nori species are edible red seaweeds with a high commercial value. The Marine Institute-funded NORI project aims to develop nori production based on Irish species. Contributing to this broader goal, objectives of this particular MSc project are to assess the chemical composition and nutritional value of nori biomass (conchocelis and blade phases) produced under different culture conditions. Favourable growth conditions will be identified by quantification of pigments, Mycosporine-like Amino Acids (MAAs) and fatty acid profiles of different strains from a range of environmental...

Job title Researcher in the subject of Biology with experience in Marine Biology and Ecology. Company University of the Aegean (UoA) – Research Unit. Description of the job The Research Unit of the University of the Aegean seeks a First Stage Researcher (R1-MSc) in the subject of Biology with experience in Marine Biology and Ecology to join the LIFE-PinnaCare project, which focuses on implementing conservation actions for the critically endangered Pinna nobilis across key sites in Greece. The successful candidate will join an active marine research group and contribute to fieldwork (including scientific diving), population assessments, monitoring, and the application of conservation interventions. The role also involves collaboration with national and international partners across the PinnaCare consortium.

Job title PhD Studentship - Living Sensors: Harnessing Mussel Behaviour and Machine Learning for Coastal Water Quality Monitoring. Company University of Exeter - Department of Biosciences. Description of the job The University of Exeter offers a fully funded EPSRC Doctoral Landscape Award studentship for a PhD project developing next-generation environmental biosensors using mussels as living sensors for coastal water quality monitoring. The health of marine ecosystems is increasingly threatened by pollution, eutrophication, and harmful algal blooms (HABs), which have profound ecological and socio-economic impacts. This PhD project aims to transform an existing prototype technology into a deployable environmental monitoring solution. Building on recent innovation at Exeter, the project will translate a novel discrete gape-sensor unit into a fully integrated system for real-world deployment, where rapid detection of water quality deterioration is critical. The...
