3. Deliver research outputs within the scope, timetable, and budget of the project.
4. Disseminate research results in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals, at national and international meetings, and through seminars.

To be successful, your application should demonstrate:

- A PhD in a relevant field such as physical oceanography, climate science, or other quantitative marine sciences.
- Excellent understanding of ocean dynamics and climate role.
- High-level quantitative skills demonstrated through analysis and interpretation of observational data and/or numerical simulations.
- Ability to conduct original, independent, and innovative research with minimal supervision.
- Ability to work collaboratively across disciplines to achieve collective and individual outcomes.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills for both specialist and general audiences.
- Proven record of publishing research in peer-reviewed literature.
