Dear colleagues,<br><br>
I'd be very grateful if you could circulate the following advert of two
postdoctoral opportunities in physical oceanography at the National
Oceanography Centre, Southampton within your institutions. <br><br>
Many thanks and best wishes to all,<br><br>
Alberto<br><br>

----------<br><br>
Title: Research Fellow - Physical Oceanographer (Southern Ocean
Circulation and Mixing)<br><br>
Location: School of Ocean and Earth Science, National Oceanography
Centre, Southampton<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
The post is fixed term (3 years) and the salary is in the range of
£25,134 to £30,913 per annum.<br><br>
Informal enquiries can be made to Dr Alberto Naveira Garabato on 023 8059

Title: Research Fellow - Physical Oceanographer (Southern Ocean
Circulation and Climate)<br><br>
Location: School of Ocean and Earth Science, National Oceanography
Centre, Southampton<br><br>
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 the Weddell gyre in the
global ocean circulation and climate. The project will focus on the
analysis of the first comprehensive measurements of the 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.<br><br>
The successful applicant will work as part of a team examining the
physical and biogeochemical processes relevant to Southern Ocean
circulation and climate. The group includes an active sea-going team,
numerical modellers, tracer chemists, nutrient and carbon chemists, 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.<br><br>
The post holder will have a PhD in physical oceanography (or a related
