Dear Colleagues,
I would be grateful if you could bring the following postdoctoral
research position opportunity to the attention of anyone who may be
interested. Apologies for any multiple postings of this notice.
Best regards,
Emily Shuckburgh
Postdoctoral Research position at the British Antarctic Survey -
Physical Oceanographer - based in Cambridge, UK
Full details and application:
http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/employment/vacancies/job.php?tab=5&JobID=702
Closing date: 29 April 2012
The British Antarctic Survey is inviting applications for a 3-year
postdoctoral research position to undertake data analysis to investigate
dynamical processes in the polar oceans, with a particular focus on the
Arctic Ocean.
This position will contribute to a project funded by the Natural
Environment Research Council (NERC): TEA-COSI (The Environment of the
Arctic: Climate, Ocean and Sea Ice). The Arctic Ocean is predicted to be
seasonally ice-free by the end of the century, and it will change
radically as a consequence. Changes in the Arctic have the potential to
affect remote climates, including the UK, by changing the nature of the
thermohaline circulation, offering the risk of regional cooling against
a background of global warming. The key is to quantify (for the present)
and understand (for the future) the Arctic ocean?s import of heat,
export of freshwater, and storage of both. Direct exposure of the ocean
surface to wind forcing will increase the efficiency of momentum
transfer, so the ocean will spin up on seasonal, and possibly longer,
timescales. The ocean?s turbulent mixing will strengthen, and dense
water formation rates will change. We do not know enough about the role
of these processes in the present-day ocean and sea ice system to be
able to predict with confidence what the future holds. The TEA-COSI
project will provide a new and quantitative understanding these
processes and their impacts on a future Arctic climate.
The postdoctoral researcher will focus on studying eddy properties,
investigating eddy generation mechanisms and calculating eddy
diffusivities for the Arctic Ocean. A variety of datasets will be
available for analysis including temperature and salinity from
ice-tethered profilers, historic velocity and hydrographic data,
satellite altimetry data and velocity data output from an ocean-sea-ice
general circulation model. There will be significant opportunity to
collaborate with the other partners of the TEA-COSI project. The
successful applicant will also be be expected to assist with polar ocean
fieldwork relevant to the Open Oceans programme at the British Antarctic
Survey as required.
Informal requests for further information may be addressed to Dr Emily
Shuckburgh (emily.shuckburgh@bas.ac.uk).

Research Associate in Earth Observation/Atmospheric Physics
Space and Atmospheric Physics Group, Imperial College London
A research associate position is available to join the Space and Atmospheric Physics Group at Imperial College London (http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/spat).
The successful candidate will join an experienced team working in support of the NASA-led Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) project (see http://clarreo.larc.nasa.gov/). This US Decadal Survey Tier 1 mission has the ultimate aim of providing high absolute accuracy spectrally resolved measurements of the Earth's emitted infrared and reflected shortwave radiation for use in the detection and attribution of climate change, and for the inter-calibration of other space based sensors.
Further details concerning the post can be found in the attached document.
Informal inquiries can be addressed to Dr. Helen Brindley (h.brindley@imperial.ac.uk<mailto:h.brindley@imperial.ac.uk> ).
Closing Date: 12th April 2012.
