We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher in NOC’s Marine Physics and Ocean Climate (MPOC) group to investigate large-scale ocean uptake and heat and carbon. The successful candidate will undertake targeted research tasks to contribute to large research projects and support the communication and management of these projects.
Responsibilities
- Analyse observations and observational products to quantify variability of ocean properties and ocean circulation and identify the impacts of that variability on the oceans role in the climate system.
- Focus initially on the South Atlantic, including analysis of data from Argo floats to identify the importance of Indian Ocean waters in setting the properties of the upper 1000 m.
- Contribute to communicating research tasks and achievements within the projects (AtlantOS and SMURPHS) through publications and presentations.
- Support the communication and delivery of NERC-funded projects, TICTOC and ABC-fluxes. Work with Principal Investigator Elaine McDonagh to ensure delivery of these projects and communicate achievements to investigators and other stakeholders.
- Collaborate with the MPOC group and broader research network to advance project goals and scientific outputs.
