The Laboratoire d’Océanographie Physique et Spatiale (LOPS) - Ifremer invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher in Arctic physical oceanography. This position will be located in Brest, France.
The goal of the project is to investigate the feedbacks associated with storm-generated surface waves and the changing dynamics of an increasingly ice-free Arctic Ocean. The project will first use remotely-sensed data (SWOT, SAR, SSMI, CERSAT products) to determine characteristic signatures of storms in waves, upper ocean, and sea ice. Basin-scale modelling based on a novel coupling between the NEMO model (ocean/sea ice) and surface waves (WAVEWATCH III) will then be used to use those storm characteristics to understand their seasonal response. Future climate projection scenarios will be used to explore potential impacts of changes in storm frequency and intensity.
A PhD in physical oceanography, meteorology, climate science, or geophysical fluid dynamics is required, with skills in observational data analysis, remote sensing, and/or numerical modelling. Expertise in statistics, numerical analysis, and programming with Matlab, Python, or similar is required. Experience in sea ice research would be an asset. Ability to communicate and write in English is required.
Candidates must have completed their PhD within 3 years of the start of the contract and have spent at least 18 months working or studying outside of France between May 2020 and the beginning of the contract.
Application must include a detailed curriculum vitae including a list of publications, a cover letter explaining how your interests and experiences would make you a suitable candidate, name/email of at least two referees. Application materials and informal enquiries should be sent to Camille Lique (camille.lique [at] ifremer.fr) and Peter Sutherland (peter.sutherland [at] ifremer.fr).
