Many thanks

================================
The Arctic is arguably the most rapidly changing environment on the
planet and changes in sea ice are modifying critical biological and
biogeochemical processes. These challenges are being addressed through
the NERC Research Program /"The Changing Arctic Ocean"/. SAMS is leading
the Arctic PRIZE project <http://www.sams.ac.uk/arctic-prize/> (Arctic
Productivity in the Seasonal Ice Zone) in collaboration with 5 other UK
institutes and numerous world-leading international partners. We are
seeking a highly-motivated and dynamic postdoctoral researcher to
support the delivery of the physical oceanographic component of Arctic
PRIZE.
The successful applicant will hold a PhD and have a background in
physical oceanography with an interest in how physical processes impact
on biological and biogeochemical systems. They will ideally have
experience of using autonomous vehicles (gliders and/or AUVs) to make
sustained measurements in shelf seas and an understanding of arctic
oceanography. Ideally they will have a track record of working within a
multi-disciplinary project environment.
The main duties are 1) Contribute to the preparation, planning and
execution of Arctic PRIZE research cruises 2) Contribute to the delivery
of the robotics program in Arctic PRIZE 3) Lead and publish high quality
peer-reviewed research to meet SAMS research objectives. 4) Form and
maintain national and international relationships and collaborations for
arctic research 5) Travel to national and international meetings to
present research findings.
For general enquiries about the position please contact Dr Finlo Cottier
