The successful candidate will investigate the role of internal waves,
mesoscale eddies, and transverse circulation on entrainment and mixing
of the dense overflow plume downstream of the Faroe Bank Channel. The
research will be based on observations from a ship survey, underwater
gliders, and moored instruments. The research requires extensive
analysis of data from common modern shipboard and moored oceanographic
instrumentation as well as microstructure measurement systems including
those installed on gliders and moorings.
Applicants must have achieved a PhD or equivalent education in physical
oceanography, physics, applied mathematics, or related disciplines, or
have presented the dissertation for assessment by the closing date for
the application. The ideal candidate will have a thorough understanding
of ocean mixing processes; a good, relevant publication record; strong
programming skills; and experience in microstructure measurement systems
and turbulence data processing. Experience with glider deployment and
glider data analysis is an asset.
Application Deadline: Tuesday, 1 March 2011.
