Research Fellow in Physical Oceanography and Climate Variability Position Number: 0064114Location: ParkvilleRole type: Full-time; Fixed-term for 30 monthsFaculty: ScienceDepartment/School: School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric SciencesSalary: Level of appointment is subject to qualification and experience About the Role This postdoctoral fellowship, part of a new Australian Research Council Discovery Project, offers an opportunity to explore the ocean's role in climate change by combining ocean flow physics, climate dynamics, and advanced computing. The role involves using a cutting-edge GPU-based ocean model to conduct ensemble simulations that distinguish natural ocean variability from climate-driven changes. The position includes collaborative work with teams at both the University of Melbourne and the Australian National University, with travel to Canberra supported. Your responsibilities will include: Investigate the ocean's role in climate by disentangling natural and forced ocean variability across various timescales using climate simulation ensembles. Pioneer cutting-edge, GPU-accelerated ocean modelling within a collaborative research team, contributing to impactful insights on climate change. Significantly contribute towards the research effort of the project and develop research expertise with an increasing degree of autonomy. Significantly contribute towards model development via Git Hub for the efforts of the project. Contribute to teaching, training, scientific mentoring and supervision of students. Under the guidance and support of supervisor staff conduct internationally competitive research, resulting in publications in high impact journals. Actively participate at School meetings and with guidance, contribute to planning activities or committee work to support capacity building in the School/discipline. Who We Are Looking For You will have a strong track record of publishing in high-quality peer-reviewed journals and the ability to effectively communicate and present scientific findings. Additionally, you will demonstrate a cooperative and positive approach to working within a research-based team and liaising with individuals from diverse backgrounds. You will also have: Completion (or near completion) of a Ph D in Physical Oceanography, Dynamical Meteorology, Climate Science, Physics, Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, or a related discipline. Demonstrated knowledge of oceanography, climate science, or fluids and turbulence with emphasis on the computational aspect. Demonstrated experience with high-performance computing, including working on large codes in a version-controlled environment. Strong computational skills in a programming environment such as Julia or Python. Demonstrated capacity to publish in high-quality peer-reviewed journals. This role requires that the successful candidate must undergo and maintain an up-to-date Working with Children Check. This is essential to guarantee a secure environment for all individuals at the University. Please note: Visa sponsorship is available for this position. Join Us!
