Job Opportunity
As a key member of a Coastal Biogeochemical Modelling team, you will drive innovation in coastal aquatic ecosystem and biogeochemical modelling.
Key Responsibilities:
* Incorporate novel approaches into marine biogeochemical models by adapting and/or developing original concepts and ideas.
* Be responsible for client liaison, model implementation and calibration, and disseminating model results for existing projects in an independent manner.
* Contribute to the strategic development of modelling tools and frameworks supporting Environmental Management Systems (EMS).
* Initiate, manage and execute externally funded projects within imposed time limitations.
Requirements:
* A PhD, and/or equivalent combination of qualifications and research experience, in a relevant discipline area such as marine biogeochemistry, biological oceanography, or numerical modelling.
* Several years of demonstrated postdoctoral experience and a proven record of innovative development and implementation of three-dimensional aquatic biogeochemical/ecological models to address issues related to coastal, shelf and estuarine circulation.
* Strong written and oral communication skills, including the ability to publish research results, prepare reports and present the results of scientific investigations at national and international conferences and stakeholder meetings.
* Demonstrated ability in the development and/or implementation of spatially resolved aquatic models.
* Experience with the interpretation of aquatic BGC/ecological dynamics from model output and field observations.
* Ability to work effectively and be closely involved with a multi-disciplinary, diverse research team, as well as carry out independent individual research, to achieve organisational goals.
* Demonstrated ability to undertake original, creative and innovative research by generating and pursuing novel ideas and solutions to scientific research problems.
