Oceanographer Position

The British Antarctic Survey invites applications for an observational physical oceanographer with expertise in interpreting and analyzing polar oceanographic datasets. This 36-month postdoctoral position will contribute to projects funded by the European Commission H2020 programme and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC): SO-CHIC (Southern Ocean Carbon and Heat Impact on Climate) and ORCHESTRA (Ocean regulation of climate by Heat and Carbon sequestration and Transports).

As a postholder, you will work with various platforms and national programmes to assemble, analyze, and synthesize Weddell Sea datasets. You will need strong understanding of ocean dynamics, particularly subpolar gyre circulation and Antarctic dense water formation and export. Your mathematical background and experience with mooring data and analysis of similar Southern Ocean or Weddell Sea observations are highly valued.

This role involves combining observational data to examine Weddell Gyre dynamics and model output interpretation. You will attend project meetings, engage with partners, and lead high-quality publications resulting from the project.
