>         Laboratory, UK
>
> The Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) Earth Observation Science group 
> has a world-class reputation in fundamental research on climate change 
> and biogeochemical pools and cycles in aquatic systems; aquatic 
> ecosystem and human health; and sustainable development issues in 
> ocean, coastal and inland water environments. The group is one of the 
> largest of its kind, with 30 open-ended (tenured) staff, and many 
> international visitors and research students, creating a vibrant and 
> dynamic working environment, comprising experts in ocean, coastal and 
> inland water remote sensing, meteorology, in situ optics, biology, 
> biogeochemistry and physics, Biogeochemical-Argo data, software 
> engineering and computing. The group works with a variety of satellite 
> sensors (ocean colour, altimeter, synthetic aperture radar, 
> sea-surface temperature) and is engaged in processing of large amounts 
> of data at European and global scales, developing novel algorithms and 
> innovative applications. The group works closely with a number of 
> outside collaborators from UK, Europe and the rest of the world.
>
> The group has its own state-of-the-art data processing facilities, 
> including a new £1M GPU-cluster to support artificial intelligence / 
> machine learning, a 600 node processing grid, over 5 petabytes of data 
> storage and complete global archives of key satellite sensors. The 
> group also benefits from a newly completed suite of optical 
> laboratories, instrumentation and access to the annual Atlantic 
> Meridional Transect between the UK and the south Atlantic and local 
> research vessels and moorings. With a global Earth observation 
> processing capability, PML leads international projects, such as for 
> the European Space Agency, and is facilitating capacity building in 
> developing countries. The group is highly successful at earning 
> research projects with funding from ESA, UK Research and Innovation 
> (UKRI), EC Horizon 2020, Copernicus, foundations (e.g. Simons 
> Foundation) and international entities (e.g. KAUST).
> The EO group is seeking to employ*up to ten (10) new open-ended 
> posts*at either*Scientist*(post-doctoral or equivalent experience - 
> salary up to £37,281) or*Senior Scientist*grade (salary up to £44,958).
>
> Scientist grade posts will work in a variety of UK and international 
> projects including:
> ·research in the Red Sea and western Indian Ocean;
> ·optical water-type classification in coastal and transitional waters;
> ·monitoring the Carbon cycle from space;
> ·investigating marine ecosystems and human health;
> ·climate data records on ocean colour and lake colour.
>
> Scientist-level applicants would have a PhD or equivalent experience 
> in a relevant numerate discipline and will undertake and support 
> high-quality research, data analysis and software development, with 
> some flexibility in their weighting dependent on interests. You need 
> to be highly motivated, capable of working independently as well as 
> collaboratively with a multi-disciplinary team, and possess effective 
> time management skills, to perform effectively in this busy and 
> successful group.  Furthermore, over time Scientist-grades would be 
> given the opportunity in time to develop their own ideas into research 
> proposals.
> Senior scientists are expected to have demonstrated success in 
> supporting their own research with funding in EO of marine or 
> freshwater science complementary to existing EOSA areas. They will 
> also take leading roles in new or ongoing projects, and manage and 
> mentor scientists working in related areas.
> Finally, we would consider applications from candidates who do not 
> hold a PhD or equivalent but who have demonstrated EO experience at 
> undergraduate or postgraduate level and strong numerical and/or 
> programming ability (at*Junior Scientist*level up to £28,652) who may 
> wish to develop their career in Earth Observation within the group.
