13. Coastal Processes Scientist, Centre for Environment, Fisheries and
Aquaculture Science
Lowestoft, UK
This is a Non Reserved post under the Civil Service Nationality Rules
and is therefore open to UK, Commonwealth and European Economic Area
(EEA) Nationals and certain non EEA members.
The purpose of this post is to deliver key aspects of the coastal
oceanography and geomorphology programme relevant to Cefas’ nuclear
portfolio. The focus of the work is to develop and deliver a science
programme specific to sites of proposed nuclear power stations and to
conduct research to assess potential station impacts and to establish
the role of coastal processes for the station construction/design and
operation over its lifetime.
MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Cefas is seeking a highly-motivated coastal scientist to conduct
research for our nuclear portfolio, the science base of which underpins
applications to build and operate new nuclear power stations around the
coast of the United Kingdom. It is an integrated programme of marine
physical, chemical and biological science addressing issues ranging from
the effects of construction, cooling water abstraction and
thermo-chemical discharges on the marine environment, to advice on the
siting of infrastructure and environmentally-derived operational risks.
The coastal geomorphology and oceanography component of the portfolio
considers how developments and associated coastal defences will impact
the nearshore zone, including potential impacts on ecology, sediment
transport and coastal configuration. It also examines changes to coastal
processes and coastal morphology, including extreme events, over the
station life-time (> 100 years) in order to inform both design and the
regulatory process.
