ARAMACC is a collaboration between nine internationally-recognized research teams (in UK, Germany, Norway, Croatia, France, Netherlands and Portugal) and two industrial partners (in UK and Norway), each with complementary expertise in a wide range of marine sciences.

Description
You will be working with shells of long-lived bivalve molluscs collected from waters off the NW coast of Scotland, from the Irish Sea and from the North Sea.
You will construct chronologies using the annual increments preserved in the shells and you will then compare them with (a) instrumental measurements, (b) shell-based chronologies built by other ESRs working in the ARAMACC ITN, and (c) other natural archives for the same region in order to build up a detailed picture of the history of marine change in the NE Atlantic sector over the past few hundred years (possibly as much as a thousand years).
ESR1 will work on shells from northwest Scotland shelf and coastal waters, and ESR2 will work on Holocene shells from the North Sea and Irish Sea.
As part of the ARAMACC training programme, you will participate with other ARAMACC ESRs from across Europe in a research cruise, three summer schools and two workshops delivered by ARAMACC partners and designed to train the ESRs in a wide range of generic and specific skills.
You will develop multidisciplinary research skills involving:
- field collection of bivalves and shells for use in chronology construction
- preparation and analysis of acetate peels of bivalve shells
- chronology construction using annual increments embedded in the shells
- geochemical analysis of selected shells from climatically sensitive periods
- statistical analysis of sclerochronological data, including comparisons with climate measurements
Your character and achievements should include:
- A good first degree and/or masters’ degree in any branch of marine or environmental science
- High level of spoken and written English and good communication skills
- Positive attitude toward field and laboratory work
- Ability to organize and prioritize their own research within the project schedule
- Positive approach to working in a team
- Computer literacy and good numerical, statistical and analytical skills
- Previous international experience and a positive approach to multinational working
How to apply:
To apply, please send a covering letter describing your interest in and suitability for the position with a detailed CV and two recommendations to support your application by email to Dr Paul Butler (p.g.butler@bangor.ac.uk) by December 20th, 2013.
