About this position
Vacancy for a PhD position in Physical Oceanography at the University of Gothenburg, Department of Marine Sciences, within the Polar Gliders Research Group.
The project investigates fine-scale ocean and atmosphere dynamics in the Agulhas Current System and Cape Basin, south of Africa, with a focus on vertical mixing, transport, ocean ventilation, and water mass transformation. These processes are important for how heat, carbon, nutrients and other properties move through the ocean and influence climate and ecosystems.
You will work with a combination of observations and models, including data from underwater gliders, research ships and other autonomous platforms, high-resolution ocean model simulations, and satellite observations such as SWOT and PACE. The project also includes new glider missions and opportunities to participate in research cruises and field experiments.
The position is part of the ERC Synergy project WHIRLS and involves international collaboration with researchers at GEOMAR Helmholtz-Zentrum für Ozeanforschung Kiel, ENS Paris-Saclay, and the University of Cape Town.
Applicants should have a relevant background in oceanography, meteorology, physics, mathematics or a closely related field, plus an interest in scientific programming, data analysis, and ocean observations.
