<tbody><tr><td align="left"><p><strong>Physical oceanography job for post-PhD, with observational experience</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>About the role:<br></strong>Applications are invited for a Southern Ocean Marine Physicist with a focus on circulation and climate. The post will contribute to two ongoing projects. The first is the 20-year time series of repeat hydrography in Drake Passage <a href="http://noc.ac.uk/drake-passage" target="_blank">http://noc.ac.uk/drake-passage</a> that monitors the changing climate in the Southern Ocean and contributes to the UK’s sustained observing system and National Capability in Repeat Hydrography. The second project is a NERC grant to investigate the physical processes underpinning the oceanic delivery of heat to the rapidly melting ice shelves of West Antarctica. The position will focus on the analysis of a range of novel observations of oceanic processes and ice-ocean interaction collected near Pine Island Glacier in the Amundsen Sea Embayment, within the NERC iSTAR (Ice Sheet Stability; <a href="http://blog.antarctica.ac.uk/istar/" target="_blank">http://blog.antarctica.ac.uk/istar/</a>) programme.</p>
<p>The successful candidate will join the Ocean Circulation and Processes group, home to the UK’s National Capability in Argo and Repeat hydrography and the RAPID-MOC array. You will work closely with the team examining the physical processes relevant to the dynamics of the Southern Ocean circulation. The group includes an active sea-going team, numerical modellers and theoreticians. You will collaborate with other UK and international scientists where appropriate. Both projects have fieldwork components in which you will be expected to participate.</p>
<p>This post is offered on NERC terms and conditions and is available for up to 4 years.</p><p><strong>Salary:<br></strong>This post is offered on NERC terms and conditions, with indicative salaries at Band 6 (Staff Scientist) being £26,450 to £29,710 per annum and Band 5 (Senior Staff Scientist) being £31,020 to £37,500 per annum (depending upon experience).</p>
<p><strong>About you:<br></strong>You should have a PhD, or equivalent research experience, in Physical Oceanography and experience of analysis of in situ oceanographic data and have led or shown the potential to lead research projects. <br>
You will have a good knowledge of ocean dynamics and strong quantitative and communication skills, and the ability to conduct innovative research leading to high-impact publications in international refereed journals.</p>
