PhD position, University College Dublin, Mathematical Sciences
This PhD thesis will be conducted within a project co-funded by Ireland
(SFI), the US (NSF) and Northern Ireland (DELNI). The PhD student will
be based in the School of Mathematical Sciences of University College
Dublin. The wave group has an international reputation in the study of
waves and computational fluid mechanics. See www.ercmultiwave.eu
High-energy coastal waves cause massive infrastructural damage, and the
bigger the storm the greater the effect. There is evidence that both
frequency and intensity of coastal storms are increasing, raising
questions about sustainability of coastal settlements and
infrastructure. At the same time, investment in such infrastructure is
rising, both for coastal protection and development of marine renewable
energy sources. To develop risk assessment models for coastal storm
damage, and to understand the magnitude of forces likely to act on
structures deployed along the coast and in the shallow ocean, we need to
be able to quantify the upper limits for storm wave power.
Surprisingly, we lack data putting upper limits on forces exerted by
storm waves impacting the coast. There is no consensus about masses that
can be transported by storm waves, which means that it has not been
possible to fully model or predict the effects of storm waves on coasts.
The present project will change that situation decisively, and is made
possible in large part by data collected on the Aran Islands, Ireland
after the 2013/2014 winter?s storms.
The PhD student will model wave amplification across uneven submarine
topography with a combined global- and local-scale approach. The
modelling will be computationally intensive. The PhD student will be in
close contact with Queen?s University Belfast, where experiments will be
performed.
The applicant must have a strong background in Ocean Waves, Numerical
Methods, Mathematics, and Fluid Mechanics.
The start date of the three-year project is September 2015. The position
covers the student's tuition and fees and it also includes a stipend of
?18,000/year.
Interested applicants are encouraged to email the following information
to Professor Frederic Dias at frederic.dias@ucd.ie ASAP: 1-Complete
resume in PDF format
2-Names and email address of three references
3-A short motivation letter
Contact: Professor Frederic Dias (frederic.dias@ucd.ie)

Marine Earth Observation Scientist / Developer
Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Plymouth, UK
Starting Salary Range: ?29,228 - ?36,378
Full time - Open Ended Appointment
Job Purpose:
To undertake research and development on Ocean Colour projects at PML funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the European Commission and the European Space Agency
If successful you will undertake the following tasks:
1) Lead development and implementation of systems for processing and analysis of Sentinel-3 ocean and land colour imager (OLCI) data for near-real time and archived observation of ocean colour around the UK, N Atlantic and globally.
2) Contribute to product development and to support data requests, e.g. providing advice on use of data sets.
3) Analyse and publish results from the ocean colour systems.
4) Assist with improvement and maintenance of existing ocean colour data processing systems for NASA MODIS, NOAA VIIRS and former sensors, including organising large-scale reprocessing. Maintain necessary external codebases in our existing ocean colour data processing systems, such as NASA's SeaDAS, exploring other packages as needed.
Experience & Eligibility Requirements:
You will either have a PhD or 3+ years post-graduate experience in a numerate or scientific discipline, ideally with experience in Earth Observation data processing and handling. You must have proven experience and skills in computer programming (e.g. C, Python, Java, IDL), preferably in a Linux environment. You will be required to work as part of a team, with responsibilities for managing your priorities, although there are no direct staff management responsibilities.
Application online at: http://www.pml.ac.uk/Working-with-us
Closing date: 12:00hrs (GMT+1hr) on Friday 14th August 2015.
