About this position
Bournemouth University is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Assistant for the RESCUE project, investigating migratory fish ecology in the River Severn.
The project focuses on the ecology, distribution and movements of European shads, sea lamprey and European eel. The researcher will contribute to a multidisciplinary programme involving Bournemouth University, the University of Southampton’s School of Geography and Environmental Science, Natural England and other partner organisations.
The role combines fieldwork with acoustic telemetry, stable isotope analysis and contributions to environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys. It also offers opportunities to mentor PhD researchers and develop independent research interests within fish ecology, freshwater ecology and fish conservation.
The post is full-time and fixed-term until 31 March 2029, providing a research environment that connects university-based ecology with conservation organisations and applied freshwater research.
