We are looking for a statistical consultant to support both the Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling (CREEM) and SMRU Consulting (SMRUC).  The two groups have a history of successfully collaborating on applied projects that require statistical expertise, particularly in relation to the activities of industry and potential impact on marine fauna (e.g. marine mammals and seabirds).  We require additional personnel to support this collaboration and allow us to be more agile in our responses to funding opportunities with short deadlines, which are quite common in calls from NGOs, industry, and some government agencies.  In particular we would like to be more responsive to the increasing number of opportunities to engage with marine renewable energy initiatives.
