The Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) invites applications for a Research Assistant (RA) position to work on a new project as part of the Marine Climate Change Science (MCCS) Programme with the National Parks Board Singapore. This 4-year project hosted by EOS aims to quantify historical, modern and future sedimentation in Singapore's coastal habitats and involves a variety of field, laboratory and desk-based analyses to achieve the project deliverables.
The successful applicant will be supporting the project team in a sediment monitoring programme to provide empirical measurements of vertical accretion from selected sites including mangrove forests, intertidal mudflats and seagrass meadows. Candidates with experience researching coastal environmental change involving field, laboratory and desk-based analyses are welcome to apply and demonstrate how their experience is relevant to the project.
The successful applicant will work collectively within a multi-disciplinary team of scientists at EOS and colleagues at NTU helping to produce scientific output for reports, publications, and conference presentations. This project will also work closely with an industry partner in Singapore. The position is initially available for one year with the possibility of extension based on performance.
