This position is an externally-funded PDRA position, supporting the NERC project “Developing paper ‘origami’ eDNA sensors for real-time public surveillance of invasive species”.

This role focuses on: (a) experimental testing of the eDNA sensor in the lab and field, compared to traditional monitoring methods, (b) working with stakeholders to understand potential use of the sensor in a range of contexts and (c) to review and quantify the challenges and costs of existing monitoring methods. This work will mainly be conducted in Lincolnshire and require travelling to field sites across the County.
