Lecturer in Marine Science

Salary on appointment will be £48,149 per annum, with an annual increment up to £55,755 per annum. 

The University of East Anglia invites applications for a Lectureship in Marine Science based in the School of Environmental Sciences. You will have developed strong expertise in an area of marine science research and will be excited by the opportunity to develop your research interests in the rich interdisciplinary environment the School offers.

This joint post is part of a strategic alliance between the University of East Anglia and the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas; https://www.cefas.co.uk/), the primary research agency responsible for advising government on marine environmental and fisheries management.

The post will involve developing research and teaching in the area of marine and/or coastal ecosystem services, plus enhancing the UEA-Cefas link through an active participation in the Collaborative Centre for Sustainable Use of the Seas (CCSUS; https://www.uea.ac.uk/groups-and-centres/ccsus).

You will be based at UEA in Norwich, but will be expected to spend part of your time at the Cefas laboratory in Lowestoft (Suffolk), where you will have access to key facilities (including the research vessel Cefas Endeavour), and benefit from interactions with teams of government scientists.

You must have a PhD in Marine Science (or equivalent qualification) or a related discipline and will be able to fulfil all essential elements of the person specification.

This full-time post is available from 1 August 2025 on an indefinite basis.
