Subject: 3-year post-doctoral position on feedbacks between marine ecosystems

Senior Research Associate (3 year contract);
QUEST Earth System Modelling Project

Deadline for application: June 2 2006

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Associate to help understand the feedbacks between marine ecosystems and climate, and identify potentially dangerous climate paths. The Research Associate will be based in the 5** School of Environmental Sciences and will work with Dr Corinne Le Quéré and Professor Andy Watson as part of a team coupling an existing ocean biogeochemistry model that is more closely based on ecological principles to an appropriate version of the Hadley's Earth System Model, and analysing the results in terms of feedback direction, feedback intensity, and potential extreme situations. The use of observations to constrain model behaviour is highly encouraged in this project.

You must have a PhD and post doctoral experience in modelling of ocean biogeochemistry, ocean physics, climate, or related and transferable experience. The work will be done in collaboration with the multi-disciplinary scientists from the Dynamic Green Ocean Project ( http://lgmacweb.env.uea.ac.uk/green_ocean ). It is expected that you will take some leadership in the project and attend international conferences and co-ordination meetings.

the full job description and application form can be found on http://lgmacweb.env.uea.ac.uk/green_ocean/jobs.shtml
