>Title: Research Fellow - Physical Oceanographer 
>(Southern Ocean Circulation and Mixing)
>
>Location: School of Ocean and Earth Science, 
>National Oceanography Centre, Southampton
>
>Description: The National Oceanography Centre, 
>Southampton (NOCS) is seeking to recruit a 
>scientist in physical oceanography to pursue 
>research aimed at understanding the role of 
>sub-mesoscale physical processes in the dynamics 
>of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and 
>the overturning circulation of the Southern 
>Ocean. The project will focus on the analysis of 
>the first dedicated measurements of internal 
>waves and turbulence in the ACC. These will be 
>conducted during a cruise to the ACC’s 
>stationary meander around the Kerguelen Plateau 
>in late 2008 and will involve a suite of 
>instrumentation and techniques, including 
>full-depth observations of oceanic 
>microstructure and profiling measurements from moorings and floats.
>
>The successful applicant will work as part of a 
>team examining the physical processes relevant 
>to Southern Ocean circulation. The group 
>includes an active sea-going team, numerical 
>modellers, theoreticians and remote sensing 
>scientists. The NOCS Southern Ocean project team 
>will work closely with scientists at project 
>partner institutions both in the UK and internationally.
>
>The post holder will have a PhD in physical 
>oceanography (or a related field) with 
>experience in the interpretation of 
>oceanographic observations. He/she will have 
>good knowledge of ocean dynamics and strong 
>quantitative and communication skills, and will 
>be expected to conduct innovative research 
>leading to high-impact publications in international refereed journals.
>
>The post is fixed term (3 years) and the salary 
>is in the range of £25,134 to £30,913 per annum.

>physical and biogeochemical exchanges between 
>the Weddell gyre and the rest of the world 
>ocean. These will be conducted during a cruise 
>along the gyre’s outer rim in early 2009 and 
>will involve a range of instrumentation and 
>techniques, including measurements of 
>hydrography and currents, ventilation tracers, 
>freshwater tracers and carbon system parameters.
