Research Scientist - Shelf Sea Oceanography
National Oceanography Centre, Liverpool
Permanent
Full time (37 hours per week)
£39,868
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 looking to recruit a highly motivated oceanographer into the Coastal Ocean Processes team in Liverpool, a research team that forms part of the wider Marine Physics and Ocean Climate Group at NOC.
The successful candidates will generate new knowledge of the interactions and connectivity between shelf seas, the open ocean, atmosphere and land, within the context of a changing climate and human activities. The role holder will initially explore the drivers of exchange and transport of physical and biogeochemical properties (e.g. heat, salt, nutrients, carbon) between the open ocean and shelf, and consider societally relevant impacts, e.g. the implications for shelf sea productivity and ecosystem health. They will use a hybrid mixture of new and existing observational data (including moorings, gliders, CTD sections, remote sensing) and model output. Application of novel data analysis and methodological approaches will be encouraged. We encourage applications from candidates with experience in physical oceanography, biogeochemistry or ecosystem processes.
The research will be conducted in collaboration with colleagues from across the NOC research groups and in partnership with other institutes. Sea-going opportunities will be provided. The role holder will also seek to achieve impact through successful uptake of their research by relevant coastal stakeholders.
The role is offered as a permanent Research Scientist level (Band 6) position.
About you
You will have, or be close to obtaining, a PhD in a field relevant to oceanography. You will enjoy working in large interdisciplinary teams and exchanging knowledge. You will have a portfolio of output that demonstrates an ability to generate new data sets and apply a range of data and/or model processing and analysis skills. You will have experience of delivering high-quality scientific outputs and of generating new knowledge, supported by a track record of peer-reviewed publications. You will have excellent communication skills and will be able to provide evidence of strong technical writing skills.
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.
Location
This position will be based in Liverpool. The centre is part of the University campus and is only a short walk from the city centre and Lime Street station.
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.
