People
Our team is made up of a diverse range of people from early career scientists to those with decades of experience and accolades, students, apprentices and visiting researchers. Our operations staff also play a crucial part in supporting our science and facilities. If you would like to be part of PML please visit our vacancies page or follow us on Twitter to be kept up-to-date with new opportunities.
PML’s scientists are working tirelessly to explore and unlock the ocean’s secrets. My role is to help access the data that drives this work while maximising the impact of emerging data to provide insights, accelerate collaboration and improve decision making.
