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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:140%'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><br>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).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:140%'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>The EO group is seeking to employ <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>up to ten (10) new open-ended posts</span></strong> at either <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Scientist</span></strong> (post-doctoral or equivalent experience - salary up to £37,281) or <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Senior Scientist</span></strong> grade (salary up to £44,958).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:140%'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>Scientist grade posts will work in a variety of UK and international projects including:<o:p></o:p></span></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;margin-bottom:5.25pt;line-height:140%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>research in the Red Sea and western Indian Ocean;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;margin-bottom:5.25pt;line-height:140%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>optical water-type classification in coastal and transitional waters;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;margin-bottom:5.25pt;line-height:140%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>monitoring the Carbon cycle from space;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;margin-bottom:5.25pt;line-height:140%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>investigating marine ecosystems and human health;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;margin-bottom:5.25pt;line-height:140%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>climate data records on ocean colour and lake colour.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:140%'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>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.
