National Oceanography Centre, Southampton

Permanent

Full time (37 hours per week)

£49,305 - £54,233 per annum

Who are we?

We are the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) - the UK's centre of excellence for oceanographic sciences. We are a national research organisation, delivering integrated marine science and technology from the coast to the deep ocean.

We are made up of a dynamic and vibrant community whose focus is on improving the world in which we live. Our work is balanced by our strong sense of purpose, values and behaviours and an unwavering commitment to a ‘one NOC’ approach.

We have a rich history dating back to 1949, and our future has never looked more exciting as we aim to be the world’s most innovative oceanographic institution.

About the role

We are seeking a highly qualified and experienced Senior Scientist to lead the development of a world-leading global high resolution biogeochemical model (https://projects.noc.ac.uk/medusa/). The model has a wide range of applications, from future climate change scenarios for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to informing sustainable development of marine living resources. The model is a critical component of the UK National Capability programs and underpins a wide range of national and international research projects.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the development of a state-of-the-art global high resolution biogeochemical model, incorporating the latest understanding of chemical, biological and ecological processes.
Identify, secure and manage funding opportunities to support the development of the biogeochemical model and associated research projects.
Collaborate with international teams of scientists to integrate and validate model components, ensuring robust performance across a range of applications.
Identify and pursue opportunities for model development and refinement, using advanced modeling techniques and high-performance computing.
Lead and contribute to research projects focused on applying the model to a range of global challenges, including climate change, ocean acidification, and sustainable management of marine living resources.
Publish research findings in high-impact scientific journals and communicate results to stakeholders, policymakers, and the general public through presentations, reports, and other outreach activities.

About you:

PhD or equivalent in Oceanography, Biogeochemistry, Atmospheric Science, or related fields.
Experience in developing and applying global biogeochemical models, with a strong publication record in high-impact scientific journals.
Expertise in numerical modeling, high-performance computing, and model validation.
Strong leadership and collaboration skills
Proven track record of securing external funding for research projects.
Excellent written and oral communication skills in English, with a proven track record of presenting research findings to a wide range of audiences.

Why the NOC?

We offer a generous set of benefits including 28 days annual leave, plus 3.5 local closure days and 8 public bank holidays, and a contributory Group Personal Pension Plan.

We promote an inclusive and supportive environment where our people can meet their full potential.

The NOC is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. There is a guaranteed interview scheme for suitable candidates with a disability and we welcome applications from ethnic minorities currently under-represented. The NOC is an Investors in People organisation.

This position will be based in Southampton. The centre is well connected by public transport and has ample cycle parking in addition to free onsite car-parking.

The NOC has a hybrid working approach where for most positions staff can work from home up to 2 days per week. If you are interested in this position, but require a more flexible working arrangement, please contact the recruitment team using the contact details below.
