DESCRIPTION

Oban, Scotland
Fixed term appointment for 3 years
£27,285-£30,688 per annum

One pre-eminent scientific challenge of the 21st Century is to understand the drivers of Earth’s climate. The North Atlantic subpolar ocean is closely coupled to Arctic, European and tropical regions through the atmosphere, and is strongly linked to decadal climate variability.

We seek a Post Doctoral Research Associate to help further develop SAMS expertise in basin scale ocean observation and analysis for climate, with aspirations to become a future leader in the field by contributing to our high-profile international research programmes. The post holder will join an observationally focused team (moorings and gliders) researching the topic of ocean salinity and the hydrological cycle, funded by the £25M UKRI CLASS programme. These observational activities feed directly into the scientific objectives of two EU H2020 programmes: Blue Action (focused on lower latitude drivers of Arctic weather and climate); and ATLAS (understanding physical controls on Atlantic cold water coral ecosystems).

As part of the Physical Oceanography team at SAMS working on the North Atlantic and sub-Arctic oceans you will be well supported within a structured international research environment, and yet with scope to develop your own ideas. 

The main duties are:

1. Contribute to the preparation, planning and execution of research cruises and glider programme.
2. Contribute to the delivery of scientific programme objectives.
3. Lead and publish high quality peer-reviewed research.
4. Form and maintain national and international relationships and collaborations.
5. Travel to national and international meetings to present research findings.

 For general enquiries about the position please contact:

Prof. Stuart Cunningham at Stuart.Cunningham@sams.ac.uk or Prof Mark Inall on Mark.Inall@sams.ac.uk

A full-time postdoctoral position in atmospheric physics is available at Laboratoire d’Océanographie Physique et Spatiale (LOPS) in Plouzané – Brest, France, to work on the development of parametrization of turbulent fluxes at the air-sea interface in atmospheric numerical models in conditions of strong to cyclonic winds.

Supervisors: Jean-Luc Redelsperger (jlredels@ifremer.fr) and Marie-Noelle Bouin (marie-noelle.bouin@meteo.fr)

The required qualifications include:
1) A Ph. D. in atmospheric sciences or fluid mechanics obtained before the starting date of the contract.
2) An expertise in representing turbulent surface fluxes, in physics of the turbulence, or in atmospheric boundary-layer processes.
3) An expertise in Fortran and Linux, and an experience in high computing.

Job Summary

The Cooperative Institute of Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to lead research related to the development, testing, and deployment of hydrodynamic and wave models of the Lake Champlain-Richelieu River basin to support development of a real-time hydrodynamics and flood forecast modeling system. Objectives of the project include calibration and verification of an FVCOM-based hydrodynamic lake model and wind-wave model based on the WAVEWATCH III model. Lake model forcings are based on the output of operational atmospheric High-Resolution Rapid Refresh model (HRRR) and of Weather Research and Forecasting-Hydrologic distributed model (WRF-Hydro).  The fellow will be given the intellectual freedom to pursue additional ideas of their own that contribute to the broader goals of hydrodynamic modeling in Lake Champlain and the Great Lakes basins.

RESEARCH POSITIONS AT SCRIPPS INSTITUTION OF OCEANOGRAPHY, UCSD
OCEANS & ATMOSPHERE SECTION

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) at the University of California San Diego (http://scripps.ucsd.edu) invites applications for one or more full-time Researcher positions to be funded by extramural research grants and contracts in any of the research areas listed below. The Researcher series at SIO parallels the Professor series in terms of research and service, but it carries no teaching requirements. Researchers receive nine-month appointments with 25% salary support from institutional sources. Researchers are expected to establish an externally funded research program that provides the remainder of their salary support, including an opportunity for summer salary. Researchers at SIO often obtain lecturer appointments in the SIO department and serve as graduate student advisors.

We seek motivated, broad-thinking scientists to develop vigorous research groups and provide intellectual leadership in their fields while complementing existing expertise in the Oceans and Atmosphere Section. We are interested in candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in research as well as service toward building an equitable and diverse scholarly environment. We anticipate hiring at the Assistant Researcher level, but exceptionally well-qualified candidates may be considered for the Associate Researcher or Full Researcher levels.

Observational Ocean Acoustics: We seek outstanding candidates with expertise in passive and/or active ocean acoustics, bio-acoustics, acoustic sensing technology development, acoustic signal processing, environmental parameter inversions, or other closely related fields. 

Observational Oceanography: We seek outstanding candidates with expertise in observing the ocean on local, regional, basin, or global scales involving sea-going oceanography, sustained ocean observations, observational air-sea interactions, satellite oceanography, coastal oceanography, nearshore processes, natural hazards, or other closely related fields. 

The positions require a PhD in a relevant field at time of application and candidates should have a competitive record of publication, as well as evidence of the ability to conduct and fund an active research program consistent with career level. Salary will depend on the experience of the successful applicants and will be based on the UCSD pay scales.

For full consideration, please apply by the 7/1/19 deadline at:

SIO is a world-renowned center of marine research with approximately 200 principal investigators leading research programs on all aspects of earth, ocean, biological and atmospheric sciences. We are committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body.

UCSD is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer with a strong institutional commitment to excellence and diversity (http://diversity.ucsd.edu).

Researcher

Research Fellow – Characterising and predicting compound flooding in the past, present and future for Viet Nam

Physical Oceanography

Location:  National Oceanography Centre Southampton
Salary:   £30,395 per annum
Full Time – Fixed Term until 31/12/2021
Closing Date:  Wednesday 06 March 2019
Interview Date:   To be confirmed
Reference:  1107219HN

This post is being advertised as part of the CompFlood (Characterising and predicting compound flooding in the past, present and future for Viet Nam) project. Viet Nam is a rapidly developing country and, with 70% of its population living in coastal areas, it is highly exposed to flooding from coastal, fluvial and surface runoff sources. Densely populated communities in low-lying regions of the Mekong delta are especially vulnerable to flooding. This project brings together UK and Vietnamese expertise to map and characterise present and predict future flood risk, from coastal, fluvial, and surface sources and, uniquely, to assess the risk of compound (i.e. them in combination) flooding across the Mekong delta.  Read more ›
