Shelf Seas Modelling Scientist
Fixed Term, Full Time (37 hours per week)
Marine Systems Modelling Group, National Oceanography Centre (NOC), Liverpool, UK

We seek a talented and enthusiastic shelf seas modelling scientist to join the vibrant Marine Systems Modelling group at NOC in Liverpool, UK. The successful candidate will work at the interface between models and observations to improve our ability to understand and predict fine scale physical processes in shelf sea environments. The role includes developing and applying the data-assimilation modelling system, based on NEMO and NEMOVAR, currently used in the NW European Continental shelf seas, particularly exploiting data from autonomous marine observing platforms such as marine gliders. The work aims to predict physical processes that control plankton growth in shelf seas, including seasonal onset and breakdown of stratification, mixing at the pycnocline and cross-front...
