Post-Doctoral Research Associate
About the role
A postdoctoral research associate is required to join the BELS team, working mostly in London but with regular visits to Leeds. The post is funded until the end of January , and ideally the PDRA would start work as soon as possible, likely to be in the early summer of (dates negotiable). The motivation for the whole BELS study is that the current uncertainty in the magnitude of global air-sea carbon dioxide flux is of the order of 30%, and also that the best models underestimate mean oxygen annual oxygen uptake in the Labrador Sea region by 50-70%. Our work is directly targeted at understanding the near-surface mechanisms responsible for gas uptake, in order to reduce these critical uncertainties.
About you
The successful applicant will have a PhD in a relevant branch of the physical or mathematical sciences, and experience of managing and analysing experimental data. Some familiarity with fluid flows, multiphase flows, bubbles, air-sea gas transfer or broader oceanic and atmospheric science is highly desirable. Excellent organisational skills are essential. Experience in programming for data analysis (Matlab, Python, etc.) is required, as is the ability to work both independently and as part of a team, and a flexible approach to problem-solving. You should have good communication skills and a track record of publishing research in high quality journals.
