Home > Job Opportunities > Postdoctoral Research Associate:Physical Oceanography, Climate Science or Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Postdoctoral Research Associate:Physical Oceanography, Climate Science or Geophysical Fluid DynamicsAt UNSW, we pride ourselves on being a workplace where the best people come to do their best work. The Climate Change Research Centre CCRC is a multi:Disciplinary research group comprising one of the largest university research facilities of its kind in Australia. CCRC houses research expertise in the key project areas of atmospheric convection and global climate modelling. The centre also houses expertise in global climate change and extremes of weather and climate. Our oceans program focuses on global ocean thermohaline circulation, water:Mass formation, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, western boundary currents, and the ocean carbon cycle. On the land surface we focus on modelling terrestrial processes in climate models, to develop our understanding of the effects of carbon dynamics, hydrology and vegetation processes on climate. The CCRC is also the host department of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes CLEx. Established in 2017, CLEx is a major initiative funded by the Australian Research Council. The Centre is an international research consortium of five Australian universities and a suite of outstanding national and international Partner Organisations. The Centre will improve our understanding of the processes that trigger or enhance extremes and build this understanding into our modelling systems. The improved predictions of climate extremes will enable improvements in how Australia copes with extremes now and in the future. out the role Level A:95, to ,091 per annum plus 17 Superannuation and annual leave loadingFixed Term:24:Month duration starting in Jan with possible extensionFull time 35 hours per weekThe Postdoctoral Research Associate will work on a DiscoveryProject funded by the Australian Research Council, 'Risks of rapid ocean warming at the Antarctic Confidentialmargin'. DP--- which aims to use high resolution ocean:Ea ice models to examine mechanisms for warming of Antarctic Confidentialelf waters via both large:Cale drivers and fine:Cale processes. This Discovery Project is funded for and represents a collaboration between investigators at UNSW, ANU and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Princeton. The role of Postdoctoral Research Associate reports to Scientia Professor Matthew England, and has nil direct reports. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will also work closely with other project investigators:Professor Andy Hogg The Australian National University, Dr Paul Spence The University of New South Wales and Dr Adele Morrison The Australian National University. Specific responsibilities for this role include:Conduct research in line with the project's aims, independently and as part of a team and under the direction of the supervisor. Assist in the supervision of postgraduate or honours students in this project area as opportunitiesarise. Collaborate with other postdoctoral fellows on this project or others working on related matters to produce project outcomes. Prepare scientific reports and papers; coordinate research activities; participate in the setting of research directions and any other research activities as required. Maintain a strong focus on communication by interacting with the international research community, publishing in highly ranked journals, and presenting to peers at local and international conferences.
