Job Opportunity

The Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies hosts world-leading research strengths in oceanography, fisheries sciences, marine and freshwater biology, and southern ocean and antarctic sciences.

The research associate position will undertake active research in the oceans and cryosphere centre at IMAS, contributing substantively towards global ocean circulation.

Key Responsibilities:
  1. Quantify the seasonal evolution of the surface mixed layer in response to air-sea fluxes and sea-ice growth and decay in East Antarctic polynyas.
  2. Examine regional (spatial and temporal) variability in seasonal DSW formation across East Antarctic polynyas, including the role and contribution from less active and/or smaller polynyas.
  3. Deliver research outputs within a specified scope, timetable, and project parameters.
  4. Disseminate research results in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals, at national and international meetings, and through seminars.
Requirements:
  • A PhD in physical oceanography, climate science, or other quantitative marine sciences.
  • Excellent understanding of ocean dynamics and climate roles.
  • 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.
  • Collaborative skills to work across disciplines.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills for specialist and general audiences.
  • Proven record of publishing research in peer-reviewed literature.
