PhD: Southern Ocean Eddy Dynamics & Fieldwork

University of Exeter; Devon and Torbay; On-site; GBP 18,000 - 22,000; Full time

Job summary

University of Exeter invites applications for a PhD studentship focusing on energy transfers in the Southern Ocean. The project uses numerical simulations developed at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UK partners, and BAS observations.

The student will identify dominant interaction processes and compare findings with satellite altimetry and BAS in-situ data, with opportunities to apply AI to optimise observations coverage and resolution.

Qualifications

• The student will learn and apply state-of-the-art ocean modelling techniques.

Responsibilities

• identify dominant interaction processes using numerical simulations
• ground findings against satellite altimetry and BAS in-situ observations
