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 PhD Studentship: Developing and Evaluating Design Criteria to End Microplastic Pollution (End-Microplastic). Company University of Plymouth – Marine Institute, International Marine Litter Research Unit. Description of the job Applications are invited for a 3.5 year PhD studentship with the Marine Institute at the University of Plymouth, due to start on 1 October 2026. Plymouth has been at the forefront of global marine research for more than a century, and today it is home to the largest concentration of marine researchers in the UK. Textile fibres and tyre wear particles are among the most ubiquitous types of microplastic contaminating habitats from the poles to the equator and from the deepest oceans to the top of Mt Everest. Toxicological effects have been shown for both types of microplastic. This studentship will identify approaches to reduce emissions and make emissions safer, guiding the way towards safer and more sustainable production of...

Job title PhD in Impact of Grounded Icebergs. Company University of Southampton. Description of the job The University of Southampton is seeking a PhD researcher for a competition-funded project titled 'Impact of grounded icebergs on the oceanography and ecosystem of a sub-Antarctic island'. This opportunity is part of the IGNITE Doctoral Landscape Award and involves a world-class collaboration with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute (SAERI). The project will use numerical modelling tools to investigate the impact of grounded icebergs on the physical oceanography of the South Georgia (Southern Ocean) shelf and explore the consequences for the transport of Antarctic krill, a key prey item for local colonies of higher predators. As the climate warms, the number of icebergs reaching South Georgia is likely to increase; this project addresses a pressing need to better understand the consequences for the local...

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...

Job title PhD Opportunity: Rogue Waves and Non-Stationary Sea States. Company University of Manchester - Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. Description of the job The University of Manchester seeks a PhD candidate to explore how rapidly changing ocean conditions can be captured through a new description of the wave spectrum. This fully funded PhD position is offered as part of the FSE Bicentenary PhD programme. Although the spectrum has been the cornerstone of offshore engineering and oceanography for decades, traditional approaches assume sea states remain stationary, smoothing out the fast and often violent evolution of waves generated by atmospheric storms and masking the conditions under which rogue waves emerge. Building on recent advances in machine learning and data-driven modelling, the project will develop a dynamic, non-stationary spectrum that tracks the ocean in real time. You will design and test new machine learning-based methods,...
