Job description

Overview

Coastal Ocean Hydrodynamic – Biogeochemical Modeller – National Oceanography Centre

We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic scientist with experience in modelling the coastal-ocean to join the Marine Systems Modelling Group at the National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool, UK. The successful candidate will have research experience, and ideally a publication record, in coastal-ocean modelling of hydrodynamic and/or biogeochemical processes.

You will apply the NEMO-ERSEM coupled hydrodynamic-biogeochemical model in coastal-ocean regions around the world, and analyse these simulations in both present day and future climate contexts to produce societally relevant outputs and scientific publications. Specific regions of focus include South and South East Asia, and East Africa. The scientific goal is to explore the impacts of climate change and human inputs on coastal-ocean biogeochemical cycles (particularly phytoplankton and nutrients), in relation to transport and mixing processes.

You will be expected to collaborate widely across the UK and internationally, and to publish in high impact scientific journals. Stakeholder engagement also forms an important element of this work.

Responsibilities

• Apply and analyze ocean hydrodynamic and/or biogeochemical models in relation to ocean observations using the NEMO-ERSEM framework.
• Analyse simulations for present-day and future climate contexts and produce outputs suitable for scientific publications and stakeholders.
• Collaborate across the UK and internationally and contribute to high impact journal publications.
• Engage with stakeholders as part of the research activities.

About You

• Experience applying and analysing ocean hydrodynamic and/or biogeochemical models in relation to ocean observations.
• Proficiency with scientific analysis software; experience in model development is desirable.
• A strong first degree in a numerate scientific or mathematical discipline and PhD in a numerate environmental science discipline, or equivalent research experience.
• Excellent communication skills, including strong written, oral, and presentation abilities.

About Us

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is a national research organisation, delivering integrated marine science and technology from the coast to the deep ocean and is one of the top five institutions of its kind in the world.
