**At UNSW, we pride ourselves on being a workplace where the best people come to do their best work.**

**THIS ROLE IS LOCATED IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA.**

The Research Associate will contribute to an ARC-funded research project on marine heatwaves. Marine heatwaves routinely cause major ecosystem damage potentially affecting valuable industries. The aim of this project is to extend our understanding to the workings of temperature extremes hidden below the ocean surface and how other concurrent ocean and terrestrial extremes interact with these marine heatwaves. The project will generate significant new knowledge around the mechanisms driving subsurface heatwaves and how they interact with biogeochemical extremes.

This project has two primary aims: 1) To characterize different types of subsurface MHWs, address how they are formed, quantify if they persist beyond the life of their visible surface signature, and examine how the subsurface ocean state prior to a MHW may provide a means to better predict these extreme events, and 2) examine the co-occurrence of compound temperature and biogeochemical extreme events, how prevalent they are, and how they interact. The Research Associate may work on either of both areas depending on their research interests.
