About this position
PhD opportunity: Under Pressure: New Insights into Atlantic Overturning Variability at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science.
Shane Elipot is recruiting a PhD student for the Meridional Overturning Circulation and HeatFlux Array (MOCHA) project. The research focuses on one of oceanography’s most important questions: how to monitor the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and understand the processes that drive its variability.
The project will investigate how pressure measurements at the ocean floor can be used to study overturning circulation, combining moorings, underwater gliders, and outputs from high-resolution ocean and climate models. The balance between fieldwork and modelling is flexible and can be shaped by the candidate’s interests and experience.
The role includes exciting field components such as research cruises and glider deployments in the Bahamas, alongside day-to-day collaboration with an international team connected to the National Oceanography Centre’s RAPID Programme and NOAA’s Western Boundary Time Series Programme.
Applicants should have a background in oceanography, physics, mathematics, or a related field, and a strong curiosity about how the ocean shapes climate. Formal applications are made through the University of Miami Graduate School.
No deadline is stated in the post.
