Dear friends and colleagues,

I'd be very grateful if you could circulate the advert below to any
finishing PhD students or postdocs.

Many thanks,

Two Researchers in Physical Oceanography

We are seeking physical oceanographers to work with us on two NERC-funded
research projects studying processes in the Southern Ocean close to
Antarctica. You will play a key role in data analysis, interpretation and
publication.

Post 1  Ref: RA421
The first post is to continue analysis of the ADELIE data set collected in
2007 (see http://www.uea.ac.uk/~wvj06ssu/ADELIE.html for more details). You
are likely to focus on the links between the physics and the biology, using
acoustic data as well as drifter and hydrographic data sets. Analysis of
high resolution model output is also expected. This post is available for up
to two years. The start date is to be mutually agreed and could be
immediate.

Post 2 Ref: RA422
The second post is to work on the UK SASSI project (see
http://woceatlas.tamu.edu/sassi/sassi.html for the international context).
This will involve a one year deployment of a moored array on the continental
shelf and slope of the Weddell Sea. You are likely to focus on analysis of
the currents and water masses. This post is available for up to three years
and can start at a mutually agreed date between 1 July 2008 and 31 December
2008.

Applicants for both posts should ideally have a PhD in Physical
Oceanography, with experience of computing in Matlab and Unix. We will
consider applicants with other numerate/dynamical backgrounds who have some
knowledge of physical oceanography and relevant research experience. Please
state whether you wish to be considered for both posts and whether you have
a preference.

Closing date for both posts: 31 October 2007.
Interviews for both posts will be held at the end of November 2007.

Further particulars and an application form can be obtained from the
University's web page at: http://www.uea.ac.uk/hr/jobs/ or by e-mail at:
hr at uea.ac.uk or by calling the answerphone on 01603 593493 or by mail to the
