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.
