Ocean and Climate Model Manager, British Antarctic Survey
Cambridge, UK
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS), part of the Natural Environment
Research Council, aims to undertake a world-class programme of
scientific research, and to sustain for the UK an active and influential
regional presence and a leadership role in Antarctic affairs.
Based within the Polar Oceans programme at our Cambridge office, you
will be part of a team investigating oceanographic variability in the
Southern Ocean and the Arctic, and its impacts on the Earth System. The
group runs sophisticated idealised, regional and global oceanographic
models (including sea ice and ice shelf components) to simulate past
conditions and also to predict how the ocean will evolve in the future.
Models are run on local and national supercomputing facilities and
generate large volumes of data, and we also use output from very large
models run by external collaborators. You will be responsible for
managing all aspects of our ocean modelling infrastructure and writing
code to support model users. You will also process and maintain the
large datasets required to force our ocean models. In addition you will
be responsible for accessing and pre-processing of IPCC climate model
data. Other datasets, such as those produced by satellite remote
sensing, will also require management.

SEASONAL SEA TURTLE FIELD TECHNICIAN, Little Cumberland Island Sea
Turtle Project
Little Cumberland Island, GA
The Little Cumberland Sea Turtle Project was started in 1964. It is one
of the oldest and longest running Loggerhead turtle projects in the
world. Our research is primarily a long-term population study and, until
2010, was based on night patrols and saturation tagging of nesting
females. Now, under Georgia DNR directive, we no longer patrol at night
in order to protect nesting shorebirds, but continue “tagging” using a
genetic sample from each nest. Although we are an independent project,
we work closely with the Georgia DNR and conduct our project under their
permit.
This is a seasonal position lasting 22 weeks. Surveys are conducted
every day at dawn, including weekends. There is opportunity for days off
with advance notice, though we anticipate the tech will be onsite during
peak-nesting season, late June to early August.
