London, Greater London, United Kingdom Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled postdoctoral research scientist to join our team at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS). As a leading institute in climate-scale ocean research, we are expanding our science team and strengthening research in physical oceanography and marine biogeochemistry.

The successful candidate will contribute to NERC-funded research programmes, using autonomous observational platforms and sophisticated physical analysis to investigate the dynamics and impacts of ocean circulation in the North Atlantic.

Key Responsibilities
  • Utilize hydrographic mooring, bottom pressure, glider, satellite, and tide gauge data to understand the causal relationships between climate-scale ocean circulation and coastal/shelf sea level around the UK and Ireland on a range of time scales.
  • Provide a continuous observational record of the volume heat, freshwater fluxes in the eastern subpolar North Atlantic, improving our understanding subpolar AMOC variability and dynamics.
  • Develop techniques for using of drift-free bottom pressure sensors to observe climate-relevant ocean dynamics.
Requirements

You will hold a PhD in physical oceanography and be experienced in using traditional and/or autonomous observing methods, the data they generate and computing languages to analyse these data.

You will have experience participating in oceanographic research cruises, have a good understanding of ocean boundary dynamics and a publication record which demonstrates this.

You will also have a track record of identifying research opportunities and income generation. Ability to work effectively at sea is also essential.

What We Offer

We offer a wide range of employee benefits, support and inclusive culture, making SAMS a great place to work.

Our employees are the heart of our business. Recruiting and retaining the right people is the key to our success. Rewarding our employees is therefore an important component of our employment package and we have a wide range of benefits on offer to staff to support your work and lifestyle.

We are proud to provide a wide variety of benefits year-round, offering options to best support our staff, such as flexible & hybrid working options, purchase of additional annual leave, shopping discounts, Cycle 2 Work scheme, purchases of technology through salary sacrifice, Payroll Giving, Pensions Plus, access to portals to support health and wellbeing, a sabbatical scheme, free car parking with access to electronic charging points as well as access to a number of training & development courses.

We are striving to constantly develop and expand the benefits and offers for our colleagues.
