only available to UK citizens and other EU citizens meeting the RCUK
residence requirements. The studentships cover fees, training, research
expenses, conference attendance and a tax free maintenance grant.
SCENARIO seeks to attract high-quality graduates from science,
mathematics and engineering degrees.
See below for the list of new projects.
For a full list of available PhD projects and details on how to apply,
please visit our website: http://www.reading.ac.uk/nercdtp/available
The deadline for applications is January 25, 2016.

Research Position in Ocean Dynamics
The Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences, Johns Hopkins University, invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate or assistant research scientist. The successful candidate will join a team that is investigating sea-surface temperature and salinity dynamics using satellite data and coupled models. The research aims to diagnose, quantify, and understand the mechanisms controlling the propagation of ocean surface anomalies in these properties, among others. It will also develop metrics for ocean models and coupled climate models involved in prediction. Other opportunities in dynamical oceanography may also be available. Further information about relevant research may be found at: http://pages.jh.edu/~thaine1/
An ideal candidate will be a creative, independent thinker with a Ph.D. in dynamical or physical oceanography, but applicants in related fields will also be closely considered. Knowledge in one or more of the following areas is advantageous: ocean circulation and dynamics, ocean remote sensing, numerical ocean models, and coupled climate dynamics. The start date is negotiable, but completion of the Ph.D. is required. The appointment may extend up to three years. Appointees will receive a competitive salary and benefits and will be eligible to participate in Johns Hopkins University health plans.
Applications should be submitted electronically through Interfolio at http://apply.interfolio.com/33551 by 15 February 2016 to receive full consideration. They should include a cover letter, your curriculum vitae plus the names and email addresses of three or more academic referees.
Johns Hopkins University is an equal opportunities/affirmative action employer. Minorities and women are particularly encouraged to apply.

CASE PhD Studentship in the Centre for Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics at the University of Exeter and the UK MetOffice
Understanding and improving the path of the Gulf Stream extension in moderate resolution climate models
The Gulf Stream plays an important role in the prediction of weather and climate throughout northern Europe. Coarse resolution ocean models misrepresent the path of the Gulf Stream which leads to poor predictions for northern Europe. This project aims to improve the understanding of the dynamics of the Gulf Stream. This understanding will then be applied to develop new mathematical and numerical methods with the goal of improving the representation of the Gulf Stream in Nemo.
The first step in the PhD project will be to calculate dynamical diagnostics of the Gulf Stream path using models of in 1°, 1/4°, and 1/12° resolution. Depending on the results and the interests of the student, the PhD could develop in the following directions: in-depth investigation and interpretation of aspects of the vorticity dynamics, the theory and dynamics of western boundary currents in the presence of sloping bathymetry, assessment of the impact of alternative representations of momentum advection or physical parameterisations of eddy fluxes on the Gulf Stream path. The student will be encouraged to formulate and experiment with novel ideas in numerics, diagnostics, and theory for ocean physics and dynamics. Research questions to be addressed include: 1) What processes control the dynamics in the Gulf Stream extension? 2) What are the roles of mesoscale fluctuations in western boundary currents? 3) How do mesoscale fluctuations strengthen the interactions with bathymetry?
Applications are due by 1 February 2016. Follow the instructions at: http://www.exeter.ac.uk/studying/funding/award/?id=2030 <http://www.exeter.ac.uk/studying/funding/award/?id=2030>.
Querries to Prof. Beth Wingate b.wingate@exeter.ac.uk <mailto:b.wingate@exeter.ac.uk> and Dr. Mike Bell mike.bell@metoffice.gov <mailto:mike.bell@metoffice.gov>.uk
