Marine Climatologist: Air-sea interaction
National Oceanography Centre, Southampton
Salary: £29,181 – £33,558 (Band 6)
Full Time (37 hours per week)
Permanent

About the role:

We are looking for an independently-minded scientist to carry out world-leading research into the drivers of air-sea exchanges of heat and momentum and their uncertainty. The main focus initially will be on quantifying uncertainty in air-sea exchange in the challenging environment of the Southern Ocean. This new post contributes to the strategic research programme of the NOC Marine Physics and Ocean Climate Research Group and will contribute to the delivery of science for projects, including ORCHESTRA (Ocean Regulation of Climate by Heat and Carbon Sequestration and Transports, https://orchestra.ac.uk/) and CLASS (UK Climate Linked Atlantic Sector Science Programme, http://prj.noc.ac.uk/class/) at NOC within the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).

This is an opportunity to develop a career in marine climate science and to develop your own research within an area of science that contributes to our objectives.

About you:

You will have a PhD or equivalent experience, ideally in atmospheric or oceanographic sciences and be skilled in using and developing data analysis software. You will be able to demonstrate the mathematical ability to handle theoretical aspects of air-sea interaction research. You will be highly motivated and able to work independently and as part of a team. You will have excellent communication, oral, written and presentation skills.

Other information:

The starting salary for this position will be between £29,181 and £33,558 per annum (Band 6). Depending upon skills and experience, additional allowances may be available for exceptional candidates between £500 and £2,000. Additional allowances will be evidenced against scientific track record, including publications, experience in related projects and relevant postdoctoral research experience.

We welcome applications from all qualified candidates including those from outside of the EU for this position.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Nonlinear Waves and Ocean Modelling

Applications are invited for a full-time Research Fellow position to work on the project “Stirring at the Walls – A dynamical boundary model for the ocean”. This work forms part of a joint NERC-NSF funded project between Professor Ted Johnson at University College London and Professor William Dewar of Florida State University on boundary models for the ocean. The project will investigate the hypothesis that there is a gap between the very high spatial and temporal resolution required in global ocean models to accurately resolve the flow near ocean boundaries and the lower resolution in both space and time required to resolve the motion of the ocean interior. The aim is to produce a dynamical boundary model that can exploit this gap to allow more accurate simulations at lower computational cost while simultaneously increasing our knowledge of boundary mixing processes.
