Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Lecturer to join the School of Environmental Sciences. The successful candidate will have research interests in shelf sea oceanography, including the physics of shelf seas and the shelf break, as well as estuarine and/or coastal oceans. You will join the Centre for Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) within the School of Environmental Sciences.

You will be expected to develop international-calibre research programmes complementary to existing strengths in ocean science at UEA and be open to our growing research activities in coastal science. Research that exploits the ocean glider fleet owned and operated by UEA is encouraged. You will be expected to supervise and mentor postdoctoral and PhD researchers, contribute to undergraduate and/or postgraduate teaching in environmental sciences and/or data science, and carry out associated administrative duties.

This full-time post is available from 1 September 2026 on an indefinite basis.
