Job Summary

The fields of Ocean Colour and associated Ocean Carbon, Human Health and Biodiversity research are areas of PML’s strength with world class leadership and reputation as evidenced, inter alia, by leadership in Europe of the European Space Agency (ESA) Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC CCI), ESA Satellite-based observations of Carbon in the Ocean: Pools, Fluxes and Exchanges (SCOPE) and involvement in the second Simons Collaboration on Computational Biogeochemical Modeling of Marine Ecosystems (CBIOMES-2) that brings together international scientists. All of these projects are underpinned by the ESA OC-CCI time series products.

This post will be at PML Senior Scientist level and will involve leading development, and supervising generation, of the ocean colour time series products in support of the ESA CCI and the European Copernicus programmes. It will entail innovative research into new sensors and their characteristics with respect to climate quality, methods for inter-sensor bias correction, merging and uncertainty characterisation.

The post-holder will also undertake research utilising the ocean colour ECV in relation to climate indicators, regional drivers and impacts. The post-holder initially will report to the current Principal Investigator of OC CCI but with the expectation of taking over leadership of the project once the incumbent has grown into the role.
