Postdoctoral researcher on numerical modelling of ocean currents (M/F)

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The researcher will be responsible for studying the interactions between ocean turbulence, the seabed topography and large-scale ocean circulation. This study will be carried out using numerical simulations of the global ocean and idealised simulations of the processes involved. The NEMO modelling platform will be the main tool used. ⁃ Familiarisation with the NEMO general ocean circulation model. ⁃ Conducting numerical experiments on a supercomputer. ⁃ Development of the NEMO code, specifically for ocean turbulence parameterisations and energy and vorticity balance diagnostics. ⁃ Analysis of model outputs and interpretation of results. ⁃ Writing of scientific publications. The role forms part of Work Package 3 of the IMPRESSION-ESM project, which is the targeted project 7 of the programme called 'TRansformative Advances in Climate modelling for Climate Services' (TRACCS; https://pepr-traccs.fr/ ). The IMPRESSION-ESM project aims to improve the representation of physical processes in climate models. The researcher will be based in the NEMO R&D team at the LOCEAN laboratory, located on the Jussieu campus of Sorbonne University in Paris (France). The NEMO R&D team has the necessary expertise in ocean modelling for climate research. Where to apply Website https://emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UAR636-ALERUB-059/Default.aspx .
