- **Investigate the ocean’s role in climate by disentangling natural and forced ocean variability across various timescales using climate simulation ensembles.**:

- **Pioneer cutting-edge, GPU-accelerated ocean modelling within a collaborative research team, contributing to impactful insights on climate change.**:

- **Salary packaging, subsidised health and wellbeing services, fitness and cultural clubs, Myki discounts, and a 25% discount on graduate courses to our staff and their immediate families**

**About the Role**
This postdoctoral fellowship, part of a new Australian Research Council Discovery Project, offers an opportunity to explore the ocean's role in climate change by combining ocean flow physics, climate dynamics, and advanced computing.

The role involves using a cutting-edge GPU-based ocean model to conduct ensemble simulations that distinguish natural ocean variability from climate-driven changes. The position includes collaborative work with teams at both the University of Melbourne and the Australian National University, with travel to Canberra supported.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Significantly contribute towards the research effort of the project and develop research expertise with an increasing degree of autonomy.
- Significantly contribute towards model development via GitHub for the efforts of the project.
- Contribute to teaching, training, scientific mentoring and supervision of students.
- Under the guidance and support of supervisor staff conduct internationally competitive research, resulting in publications in high impact journals.
- Actively participate at School meetings and with guidance, contribute to planning activities or committee work to support capacity building in the School/discipline.

**Who We Are Looking For**
You will have a strong track record of publishing in high-quality peer-reviewed journals and the ability to effectively communicate and present scientific findings. Additionally, you will demonstrate a cooperative and positive approach to working within a research-based team and liaising with individuals from diverse backgrounds.

You will also have:

- Completion (or near completion) of a PhD in Physical Oceanography, or Dynamical Meteorology, or Climate Science, or Physics, or Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, or a related discipline. If your discipline is not directly related with the project, then explain why you think you’d be a good fit.
- Demonstrated knowledge of oceanography, climate science, or fluids and turbulence with emphasis on the computational aspect.
- Demonstrated experience with high-performance computing, including working on large codes in a version-controlled environment.
- Strong computational skills in a programming environment such as Julia or Python.
- Demonstrated capacity to publish in high-quality peer reviewed journals.

**Please note: Visa sponsorship is available for this position**.

**Your New Team - “The School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences“**
The School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences synergizes discipline strengths in geography, atmospheric science and geoscience. The School offers undergraduate and graduate research programs in these core discipline areas, and in the multi-disciplinary fields of Climate Change, Environmental Science and Archaeological Science. The research within the School is built upon extensive expertise in geography, geoscience and atmospheric science, ranging from the social sciences through to the quantitative physical sciences.

In addition to internationally recognised discipline expertise, we have strengths in a number of multi-disciplinary areas including: climate change; resource futures; space, place and social change; environmental hazards; Indigenous knowledge; and Earth system interactions. With strengths in both the spatial (local to global) and temporal (deep time as well as recent) dimensions of environmental change, the School is committed to achieving a better future for our students, society and the environment.

**What We Offer You**
In addition, we offer the opportunity to be part of a vibrant community and enjoy a range of benefits, including generous leave provisions, salary packaging, health and well-being services and discounts on graduate courses. For more information, check out our benefits page
