Socio-oceanography Workshop sets sights on key climate and ocean challenges

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is calling on scientists and researchers to participate in its fourth annual Socio-Oceanography Workshop, hosted in collaboration with the Marine Social Science Network.

This international event, set to take place at NOC’s Southampton site 26-28 February 2025, will gather experts across natural and social sciences to tackle the pressing issues linking people and the changing ocean.
This year’s workshop will focus on four key themes, including the impact of climate change-driven shifts in marine species distribution and how these changes will affect the way the UK marine environment is perceived, valued, and managed.

Other topics include integrating digital humans into environmental digital twins, addressing biases in research related to marine carbon dioxide removal, and exploring how local communities can engage in participatory environmental monitoring.

FMRI Lead Scientist Opportunity

The FMRI programme is now recruiting for a new Lead Scientist. This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in helping to shape the UK’s future marine research capability.

The team are looking for someone who can connect with scientists and engineers to help define the best strategies for exploiting new technologies. Someone who is excited about new opportunities for marine research and can think across the big challenges. Someone who can peer over the horizon and imagine a different way of doing things.

FMRI is seeking to fund at least 50% of the Lead Scientist’s time to work as a key member of the programme leadership team.

I would be grateful if you could forward the attached flyer to your networks and encourage potential candidates to apply for this important role.

For an informal discussion, please contact the team via: info@fmri.ac.uk 

For more information or to apply, please visit: www.fmri.ac.uk/recruit/lead-scientist 

Applications close: 28th November, 2024
