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.
Being a scientific researcher is not about knowing all the answers, it’s about knowing how to try to find the answer. This is what motivates me, the fact we don’t know everything yet; that what we are researching could help improve our interaction with the oceans, could lead us to sustainable solutions, or new innovations.
