The funding that supports this project has an expected end date of 4/12/2029.  Position Description and Selection Criteria:PD&PEWER_Level A,Level B_Postdoctoral,Research Fellow.pdf The Position This position is funded by the Australian Research Council Discovery Project, ‘Improving projections of the risk of ocean-driven Antarctic ice melt’, which aims to use high resolution ocean - sea ice models to understand the oceanic processes which control the delivery of heat to Antarctica’s ice shelves. The Discovery Project is funded for 2026-2029 and represents a collaboration between investigators at the Australian National University (Dr Adele Morrison), University of New South Wales (Prof. Matthew England) and University of Tasmania (Dr Madelaine Rosevear). The Postdoctoral Fellow / Research Fellow in Antarctic Ocean Modelling will use numerical models to develop new understanding of the complex ocean processes that drive Antarctic ice melt. This will lead to improved projections of future rates of sea level rise stemming from Antarctica. Areas of particular interest include understanding mechanisms of heat transport towards ice shelf cavities; investigating the sensitivity of melt to changes in winds, the offshore heat reservoir, along-shelf ocean currents and sea ice; and improving simulations of Antarctic ice shelf – ocean interactions, including basal melt parameterisation. The Person We are looking for an early career researcher with a PhD (or awarding of a PhD within six months of appointment) in the field of physical oceanography or a related area.
