Postdoctoral Research Officer

Applications are invited for a fixed-term, full-time Research Officer position in the School of Ocean Sciences in a role funded by the Natural Environment Research Council as part of the joint USA-UK QUICCHE project' Quantifying interocean fluxes across the Cape Cauldron hotspot of eddy kinetic energy'.

The Research Officer will investigate the role of vertical fluxes in the export of Indian Ocean water into the South Atlantic across the Cape Basin.

Candidates should possess a PhD (or be near-completion) or equivalent in Physical Oceanography or a related field (i.e a PhD with a numerical component such as meteorology, maths, geography, or physics) and have previous experience in using structure function techniques for the estimation of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate from ADCP data.

The successful candidate will be expected to commence on 1 January 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter and the post is available to 31 March 2026.

Please submit a 2-page CV in addition to the completed application form.

Informal enquiries about the post may be made to Prof Yueng-Djern Lenn (y.lenn@bangor.ac.uk).

This role will be located on campus at Menai Bridge, Anglesey. Through our Dynamic Working framework, there will also be the option to spend some time working remotely (although remaining in the UK) to support work life balance, which will be discussed further with candidates at interview.

Applications will also be considered to carry out this role on a part-time or job share basis.
