Full job description

School of Social Sciences and Humanities

Full-time and fixed term for 12-months, starting as soon as possible

Join us and be part of a vibrant community at Loughborough University.

Here’s more about the role and what we’re looking for:

This post provides an exciting opportunity for someone with a strong ecological and environmental science background to work on the 3-year NERC funded Pushing the Frontiers Project “The impact of cohesive material on critical shear stress in gravel bed rivers”.

This post will be based in the Department of Geography and Environment, but the successful applicant will spend the majority of their time working at Manchester Metropolitan University.

The post-holder is integral to the success of the project and will require high-level macroinvertebrate and sediment-process knowledge, with significant experience in fieldwork and physical experiments. The post holder will have a scientific degree or equivalent experience and a PhD in a relevant research area.

The Research Associate will undertake the specific tasks outlined in the project (see duties), assisted by the project investigator and will have access to an established researcher-development programme in which the RA will participate in terms of their personal development.

About the University

Universities are one of this country’s greatest assets. We’re educators, employers, innovators and pioneers. We shape culture and society.

At Loughborough, we strive for better, think differently, challenge convention and take action. We are passionate about finding solutions to the major problems faced by society and the planet, and we create opportunities for those with the drive, the ambition, and the determination to apply themselves in the pursuit of better.

About the Department

Geography and Environment is consistently ranked within the top 10 of UK university rankings, and has a thriving, inclusive, research community and culture. The facilities and technical expertise are world class with scientists who have strong track records of pioneering new ways of working. The department hosts cutting-edge equipment and facilities in the world class ‘River Science’, ‘Sediments and Soils’ and ‘Ecology’ laboratories.

The department is a multi-disciplinary unit with strong international reputation in river science and aquatic ecology. The School of Social Sciences and Humanities is a diverse and inclusive School delivering excellence in learning and teaching, research, and enterprise across the Social Sciences and Humanities.

About You

You should have current or recent work experience at postgraduate level involving fieldwork and physical experiments associated with macroinvertebrate habitat and ecology.
You should have excellent working knowledge of UK freshwater macroinvertebrate sampling and species level identification.
You should be able to work away from home to complete fieldwork campaigns lasting several days, with overnight stays.

Staff from under-represented groups in higher education and the discipline, including those from racialised minorities, who have a physical or invisible disability, or are neurodivergent, are particularly encouraged to apply. The University is a Disability Confident employer, a member of the Stonewall Diversity Champion Scheme and holds Race Equality Charter and Athena SWAN bronze awards.

Why should you Apply?

With huge amount of variety in the role, there is an opportunity for you to develop and continually grow.

If this sounds like the right place, team and role for you please do get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.

Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr Bobby Houseago, via email to [email protected]

For more information refer to the Job Description and Person Specification.

Application Process

For further support with your application, please refer to our application guidance, which includes some top tips to help you when completing your application.

The Research Associate will work in collaboration with other team members based at Durham University and Manchester Metropolitan University. As this is a dual/multi-institutional project, team members from this/these institutions may be involved in all stages of selection.

We are happy to consider any reasonable adjustments that candidates may need during the recruitment process. If there are additional adjustments, you’d like to request please contact [email protected]. We also offer reasonable adjustments on the job.

Closing Date: 17 June 2026
