Eoin O'Gorman
@ejogorman
Lecturer at the University of Essex, studying impacts of global change on ecosystem structure and stability.
We have three great opportunities for undergraduate summer bursaries in @EssexLifeSci at University of Essex, funded under the @ARIES_DTP Research Excellence Placement scheme. More details here, including other opportunities at UEA, Plymouth, and Kent: aries-dtp.ac.uk/reps/
We have completed the first field work for the #webDNA project founded by the @LeverhulmeTrust. We were in Italy, Orbetello, hosted by the Tor Vergata collaborators. Now it's time to start the lab work! @DaniaAlbini @ejogorman #foodweb
Check out our postdoc @DaniaAlbini's latest paper in @CommsBio: "Warming alters plankton body-size distributions in a large field experiment" 💧🦠🌡. Learn more on our lab website: ecosagelab.wordpress.com/2025/03/07/new…
📢✨ Join us for this year #BESAG2025 annual meeting! We are going to host the conference at #ZSL, in London (UK) @LondonZoo3 , on the 15th-16th of September. Save the date and link to registration coming soon! @BritishEcolSoc 💧🧪🌍🌊🕸🐟🦈🦭🪼🦑
Last day to apply for this exciting PhD project on nature-based solutions with fieldwork in rivers throughout the Cantabrian Mountains in Northern Spain.
Fantastic postdoc opportunity on food web ecology, based in Helsinki.

Super proud of @PolarPaddy, my first PhD student to completion since joining @Uni_of_Essex five years ago. Two great papers already (nature.com/articles/s4146…; frontiersin.org/journals/marin…), @DefraGovUK lucky to have him for now, and a very promising career ahead. Congrats Paddy! 👏 👏
Congrats Dr @PolarPaddy for acing his viva! Loved discussing his amazing research w/ him & @MEecoprof. Great mentoring by @ejogorman, @Dr_MTaylor, @Hollyman_Phil & Simeon Hill. And lovely to see a @SeaUnicorn2020 STSM with @lu_pez_lopez lead to a @NatureComms paper. Bravo! 🐳🐟🦐
Exciting 3-y postdoc opportunity @helsinkiuni ‼️ I am seeking a postdoc with expertise in molecular and/or experimental food web ecology to study coastal food web responses to marine heatwaves ➡️Postdoc: jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Tv%C3%A4rm… Please share this post‼️
Here we go again: ecoevojobs 2024-25 is now open! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
In high sediment contamination concentration near oil and gas platforms, we showed a general decline in total species richness while pollution-resilient species dominant. Loss of larger predators and dietary specialists showed a degraded but more connected food web structure.
North Sea fossil fuel can cause pollution to spike 10k% Researchers from @EssexLifeSci , @NHM_London and @CefasGovUK also found species fell by 30% near platforms. @DrNatalieHicks 🔉 "These platforms are leaving a potentially concerning legacy." essex.ac.uk/news/2024/07/3…
