4. Proven ability to prepare manuscripts for publication and to communicate the results of research studies to the scientific community;
5. Skills in the design, conduct and interpretation of filed and laboratory experiments;
6. Knowledge of statistical methods for assessment and interpretation of scientific data.
Responsibilities include:
• The management, coordination and supervision of field work for research experiments in the sponge mariculture studies;
• The isolation and characterization of organic compounds in marine invertebrates using basic spectroscopic techniques;
• The provision of leadership to postgraduate and undergraduate students on the project and in the research group.
Application letter along with curriculum vitae giving full particulars of qualifications, experience, nationality, names and address of three referees and copies of degrees should be sent by electronic mail to: hrmd.sed@uwimona.edu.jm.
