  • 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.
What We Offer

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on a world-leading research project, contributing to the advancement of our understanding of ocean dynamics and climate. This role offers a chance to develop and apply advanced research skills, collaborate with leading researchers, and publish research in top-tier journals.
