[Met-jobs] Postdoctoral research fellow position

[Ted Shepherd <theodore.shepherd@reading.ac.uk>]

Applications are invited for the post of Postdoctoral Research Fellow in
Applied and Computational Mathematics, in the School of Mathematics at
the University of Edinburgh. The post is available from 1st July 2014,
or a mutually agreed date, for a 36 months fixed term contract.

The position is funded from a NERC grant ?Implementation and
optimisation of geostrophic eddy parameterisations in ocean circulation
models? of Dr. James R. Maddison. The project will explore the
implementation of new ocean eddy parameterisations. Automated code
generation and high-level automated adjoining will be used to seek
optimal parameterisation schemes via inverse methods, which will be
further implemented and tested in ocean circulation models. In addition
the appointee will be encouraged to explore their own and newly arising
research questions. Candidates with experience in geophysical fluid
dynamics, ocean modelling, and adjoint methods are encouraged to apply.
