The Laboratoire d’Océanographie Physique et Spatiale, Ifremer (LOPS – Ifremer) invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher in physical oceanography. This 18-month position will be located in Brest, France.
The successful candidate will analyze observations collected from the seven moorings deployed between 2015 and 2016 north of the Jan Mayen Island. This set of observation will be complemented by the hydrological observations collected during the summers of 2015 and 2016, as well as the available observations from the Argo program. Finally, satellite observations (providing sea level height, sea surface temperature and salinity, sea ice concentration and drift); atmospheric reanalyses; and model outputs will be examined in order to put the local in situ observations from the mooring into a large spatial and temporal context.
A PhD in physical oceanography, meteorology, climate science, or geophysical fluid dynamics is required, with skills in observational data analysis. Knowledge in statistics, experience in programming with Matlab, Python, or similar program, experience in polar research, and the ability to communicate and write in English would be an asset.
Candidates must be within six years after their PhD defense and cannot have been awarded a previous postdoctoral fellowship from Ifremer.
Application must include a detailed curriculum vitae, letter of motivation, list of publications, and name and email addresses of at least two referees.
Applications must be submitted via email to Camille Lique at camille.lique [at] ifremer.fr.
