Postdoctoral Research Position: Turbulent Mixing in Subtropical Gyres

MPOWIR is recruiting a postdoctoral research fellow to work on a two-year fixed-term project focused on turbulent mixing over mid-ocean ridges. This project aims to address the longstanding problem of how phytoplankton in oligotrophic regions are supplied with nutrients. You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team, including scientists from the UK and the USA, to examine the physical processes relevant to turbulent mixing and its impact on nutrient transport.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in physical oceanography, with expertise in ocean dynamics, numerical modelling, and data analysis. Excellent communication and teamwork skills are essential for success in this role. If you are interested in joining a dynamic team and contributing to significant research advances, please apply for this position.

Key responsibilities will include designing and implementing research experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and disseminating results through publications and presentations. The salary range for this position is £28,695 - £35,256 per annum, commensurate with experience and qualifications.
