6 month Engineer position Stochastic modelling and numerical simulation of coupled oceanic flow, small-scale dynamics, wave-current interaction

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The Odyssey team is offering a 6 month engineer position on ocean modelling within the ERC Stuod (Stochastic transport in ocean dynamics). Odyssey (for Ocean DYnamicS obSErvation analYsis) is a recently created team involving researchers from Inria (Rennes, France), Ifremer (Brest) and IMT Atlantique (Brest). Inria is one of the leading research institute in Computer Sciences in France, and Odyssey is also affiliated to the mathematics research institute of the Rennes University (IRMAR). The team expertise encompasses mathematical (stochastic) and numerical modelling of ocean flows, observational and physical oceanography, data assimilation and machine learning. Gathering this large panel of skills, the team aims at improving our understanding, reconstruction and forecasting of ocean dynamics, and more specifically to bridge model-driven and observation-driven paradigms to develop and learn novel representations of the coupled ocean-atmosphere dynamics ocean models. For accurate climatic predictions, it is essential to have plausible forecasts of the future ocean state. Ideally, high-resolution ocean simulations would be used for this purpose. However, due to their associated computational costs, this approach is currently infeasible, and we must rely only on large-scale ocean representations. To address this challenge and the urgent need to generate various likely scenarios, there
