Postdoctoral Research in Associate inPhysical Oceanography Apply now Job no: 499704 Work type: Full time Location: Hobart Categories: Research Focused Postdoctoral ResearchAssociate in Physical Oceanography Vital role which serves the needs of industry, government, and the community Innovative and high-quality research Full time, Fixed-Term for up to 3 years, based in Hobart About the opportunity We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) in Physical Oceanography in the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies which is part of the College of Sciences and Engineering. The position is funded by a grant from the Australian Research Council Discovery Project “Unraveling ocean mixing and air-sea forcing along the Indo-Pacific exchange”, a collaborative project with investigators from the University of Tasmania, CSIRO Environment and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The aim of the project is to collect unprecedented observations using novel profiling floats and to develop high resolution model simulations to examine changes in the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) north of Australia. The main objectives of the project are to quantify internal wave characteristics and mixing that accomplish the cooling and freshening of the ITF, changes in the ITF vertical structure within the seas, and interactions with the atmosphere. This project expects to develop new knowledge of ocean-atmosphere interactions along the path of the ITF from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean, which are the powerhouse that drives changes in winds and rainfall around Australia and the entire Indo-Pacific region. This ARC project enables a significant Australian contribution to a major international field experiment, Measurements and…
