Introduction

The Marine Biological Association (MBA) is a Learned Society of scientists and members in over 40 countries, across 5 continents. Its in-depth scientific research into the interconnected marine environment is carried out from its prestigious laboratory HQ in Plymouth, UK (Britain’s Ocean City).

We have a Royal Charter that recognises our world-leading status in marine biology. Since 1884 and now in our 140th year, we work as a voice for the ocean and in the interests of the global marine biological community. Over our history our advanced knowledge has contributed to the work of 13 Nobel Laureates and over 170 Fellows of The Royal Society.

Over the last 3 years, we have invested £5-Million in our research facilities to expand our research programme, and have plans to invest a future £4-Million, which will improve our teaching and education facilities, accessibility and sustainability at our iconic building in Plymouth.
This is a fantastic time to join the team as we strive to create a world-class facility that is not only a career destination but a key part of both Plymouth and the world’s marine science excellence rooted in the MBA’s eminent spirit of scientific discovery.
