<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "CMR12", serif, "EmojiFont";">The Department of Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Sciences at the University of British Columbia invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of coupled biologi- cal/chemical/physical
ocean modelling. The successful applicant will conduct research as part of a group developing SalishSeaCast, a coupled numerical model, based on the NEMO model, of the Salish Sea. The physical model is fully coupled to a biological model (SMELT) and a carbon
model (SKOG). This post-doctoral fellow will focus on oxygen, including eval- uation of the model, dynamics of oxygen within the Salish Sea and impact of anthropogenic nutrient sources on oxygen.

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "CMR12", serif, "EmojiFont";">The position is for one-year, renewable for a second and third year and preferred start dates are Sep-Oct 2022. The application deadline is Jul 16, 2022 but will be extended if a suitable
candidate has not been found. <br>

within the Puget Sound Region. The candidate will confirm the oxygen formulation within SalishSeaCast and evaluate the oxygen results against available Canadian and US observations. They will update the nutrient fluxes, particularly the nitrate flux, from
the rivers and add those appropriate for the municipal outfalls. The next step of the project will be to investigate the main controls of oxygen in the system and compare to previous analyses, including those for nitrate and carbon. Sensitivity to the parameters/parameterizations
of the major controls will be estimated. The applied component of the project will include nutrient manipulations from rivers and municipal outfalls to determine the impact of these loadings on the system. In collaboration with the larger group at UBC, an
investigation of the past and future oxygen cycling will be possible.: </span></p>
