<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Immediate opening
for a postdoc in ocean dynamics research based at </span><span
style="" lang="FR-CA">Laboratoire de Physique des Océans</span><span
style="" lang="EN-GB"> (LPO) in Brest, France, working with Rob
Scott and his collaborators in the USA, UK and France. The
project is centred on understanding the oceanic mechanical
energy budget using theory and a wide range of observational
data analysis. The researcher will have access to, and gain
expertise using, the largest collection of mooring current meter
records ever assembled. This is a mature project allowing the
researcher to obtain publishable results quickly. Specific goals
of the project include quantifying the pathways of mechanical
energy from forcing at atmospheric synoptic scales (thousand km)
to dissipation at turbulence micro-scales (centimetres), while
balancing the rate of forcing and dissipation by bottom boundary
layer turbulence, lee wave generation, etc. There’s scope for
collaboration in numerical model development with colleagues
leading the field in internal tide modelling with global 1/25<sup>th</sup>
deg resolution, eddying models at University of Michigan,
Florida State and Naval Research Lab, Stennis Space Center.
Essential background of suitable candidate: strong background in
theory of ocean dynamics, skill with MatLab. Helpful: experience
with real ocean data analysis. Interested applicants should
