Fully Funded PhD: Antarctic Meltwater & Ocean Circulation

University of East Anglia; Norwich; On-site; GBP 20,000 - 24,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

Fully funded studentship

Maintenance stipend £21,805 p.a.

UKRI ARIES funding

Job summary

University of East Anglia invites applications for a fully funded ARIES studentship in physical oceanography. You will analyse meltwater pathways in the Bellingshausen Sea using ship, float, and glider data, and investigate how processes change with time using state-of-the-art ocean models.

You will gain training in physical oceanography, ice-ocean interactions and Big-Data science, with opportunities for sea-going experience and collaboration on the NERC-funded BELLISSIMO project.

Qualifications

• You will have strong numerical and computational skills.
• Experience with data analysis and oceanographic datasets is a plus.
• A background in oceanography or environmental sciences is desirable.

Responsibilities

• Analyse new and historical measurements to detect and quantify meltwater flows.
• Develop oceanographic understanding using model output to study process changes over years/decades.
