## About the Role

This role offers the chance to build and analyse geospatial datasets for research directly relevant to global fisheries issues, within a professional yet informal work environment alongside a team of enthusiastic scientists. This 12-month fixed-term opportunity is best suited as a postdoctoral position or for a candidate with equivalent independent research experience.

We're looking for a data scientist experienced in geospatial software (e.g., QGIS), ready to take a leading role in analysing geospatial data, quality-assuring the MSC spatial database, and disseminating research to internal and external audiences.

You'll bring hands-on experience with geo-referenced spatial data and software platforms, strong quantitative analysis skills, and a track record of leading or contributing to writing peer-reviewed papers.

Familiarity with the MSC certification process, fisheries management, or marine fish stocks would be a bonus. Strong organisational skills, the ability to work independently, and good communication skills in a multi-national, multi-disciplinary team round out what we're looking for.
