Dear Sian,
See below.
Please, distribute to your networks and suitable candidates.
Carol Robinson and I are advertising two senior research associates for CHALKY at UEA.
Both positions include participation in the CHALKY research cruise to the North Atlantic Ocean in May/June 2024 (Southampton 18 May – Aberdeen 30 June), subject to sea survival and an ENG-1 medical.

CHALKY is part of BIO-Carbon.
Senior Research Associate on Marine Biogeochemistry RA2173 (with Carol Robinson)
https://vacancies.uea.ac.uk/vacancies/579/senior-research-associate-ra2173.html
14 months, from 1 May 2024
Application deadline on 11 March 2024.
Role: We are looking for a Senior Research Associate (SRA) in marine biological research to work on a project investigating the role of coccolithophores in marine carbon cycling and how this might change in a warmer ocean. The post is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) as part of its BIO-carbon program, which aims to better understand carbon cycling and the biological carbon pump in the North Atlantic. The project is looking specifically at Challenge 1 of BIO-carbon, and how the respiration of coccolithophores and bacteria influence carbon cycling and air-sea fluxes of carbon dioxide. The SRA will be responsible for at-sea measurements of the respiration of different size classes of the plankton using standard and novel techniques. The post holder will be expected to participate in a field campaign planned for May-June 2024 onboard one of NERCs state-of-the-art research ships. During the field campaign and on return to the laboratory, the SRA will be responsible for working with the wider BIO-carbon team and close collaborators to process samples and analyse and write up the data.
Senior Research Associate on Marine Carbonate Chemistry RA2204 (with Dorothee Bakker)
12 months, from 1 May 2024
Application deadline on 11 March 2024.
Project, activities and skills: You will be associated with the BIO-Carbon CHALKY (Coccolithophore controls on ocean alkalinity) project. Activities will include shipboard field work, laboratory work and data interpretation to determine marine carbonate chemistry and CO2 air-sea fluxes. Advanced skills in carbonate chemistry analysis and air-sea CO2 quantification are desirable, as is competence in Python, Matlab, R or similar software.
By all means send candidates with questions in my direction.
Kind regards,
Dorothee.
