Research Fellow
High Resolution Global Modelling Of Ocean Tides
University of Leeds
Fixed term for 36 months, starting within six months from 1 July 2011
Applications are invited for a research fellowship funded by the Natural
Environment Research Council (NERC) on the numerical modelling of ocean
tides. The project involves the development of a new global numerical
model of ocean tides, which fully resolves the so-called internal tides of
the stratified ocean interior along with the well-known surface tides. The
focus will be on implementing the shallow-water equations and specialist
mathematical formulations for stratified flow over topography in an
efficient way, permitting fast calculations at high resolution. The model
will be used to enhance our understanding of present-day tidal energetics,
and also to make direct predictions of how tides have evolved since the
last Ice Age, in response to changes in coastal geometry and rising
sea-level. This is an interdisciplinary project, combining ideas from
applied mathematics, numerical analysis, geophysical fluid dynamics, and
climate science.
You will work in close contact with the principal investigator (PI) Dr
Stephen Griffiths, and will interact with other members of the
Astrophysical and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics group in the Department of
Applied Mathematics. The project also requires some collaboration with
ocean and climate scientists working under the direction of Prof. Dick
Peltier at the University of Toronto, Canada.
You should hold (or have submitted) a PhD in a relevant discipline (such
as applied mathematics, fluid dynamics or physical oceanography), and have
excellent programming skills. More specialist knowledge of geophysical
fluid dynamics, internal waves, finite-element modelling or parallel
programming is desirable.
University Grade 6 (?24,370 - ?29,099 p.a) or University Grade 7 (?29,972
- ?35,788 p.a.)
Closing date: 5 July 2011
Further information (and application details) are available at
using reference MAPMA0009.
Informal enquiries may be made to Dr Stephen Griffiths.

We have a vacant faculty position (Lecturer level) in the Lancaster Environment Centre at Lancaster University (www.lec.lancaster.ac.uk).
The advertised area (Ecosystem services) may look unpromising to an atmospheric scientist, but a very wide range of research expertise will be considered, including, for example, the effects of land-use change on atmospheric composition and the interactive effects of changing atmospheric composition on ecosystem functioning. Applicants with research interests in Earth system modelling are particularly encouraged.
For further information see

Informal enquiries can be made to Dr Andy Jarvis at a.jarvis@lancaster.ac.uk
