Fisheries/Ecosystem
Modeller or Fisheries Analyst - Wellington NZ
NIWA is a leading environmental research institute and key provider of
atmospheric, freshwater and marine research and consultancy services in
New Zealand.
NIWA uses a variety of statistical and mathematical techniques to study
the distribution, abundance and dynamics of exploited fish species and
bycatch species such as seabirds and marine mammals, impact of fishing
on the benthic and by-catch species, and to study marine ecosystems.
This work is done in projects contracted to NIWA by the Ministry of
Fisheries, the Department of Conservation and the fishing industry.
Much of this research underpins advice given to clients for managing
exploitation and by-catch issues; research on marine ecosystem dynamics
may also be involved.
Our Wellington office needs a scientist to carry out or assist with
this quantitative research. Specific aspects will include designing
abundance surveys, modelling marine populations, analysis of data
(including producing new methods to do so), object-oriented computer
programming, generalised linear modelling, estimating Bayesian
posterior distributions and conducting simulation studies.
Fisheries/Ecosystem Modeller:
This position will suit an experienced fisheries modeler, numerical
ecosystem modeler, or statistician with at least 5 years post-doctoral
(or equivalent) experience. Capability should include mathematical or
statistical modelling, a thorough knowledge of applied statistics, and
C++ and R programming.
Fisheries Analyst: This
position will suit a recent Honours or Masters Graduate who is keen to
develop a career working alongside, and being trained by, experienced
fisheries modellers. Their degree will have a strong mathematical or
statistical content and preferably some biological or fisheries
component.
Applications should contain a transcript of degree course grades and a
record of work experience.

Announcement
for a Post-doctoral Research Fellowship, Environment Canada, Dorval,
Québec, Canada
Project title: Assimilation of
surface-sensitive radiances over land
The candidate will use the global
data assimilation system of Environment Canada to evaluate the impact
of assimilating infrared and/or microwave radiances over land and
oceanic ice. Currently surface sensitive channels are only assimilated
over open oceans. Available spectral surface emissivity information
will used in that process. Quality control procedures will take into
account the nature of the topography, and strict criteria to avoid
cloud contamination. Infra-Red radiances will be those available from
hyperspectral sounders AIRS, IASI (~13 km pixels) and CrIS when the
data becomes available. The background error correlation between
surface skin temperature and air temperature will be considered. The
latter information is available from a research version of the
assimilation system which uses a flow-dependent background error
covariance matrix. The focus will be on high latitude regions, notably
tundra and sea ice, where only sparse surface data are available.
Qualifications: PhD. in atmospheric
sciences or related field. Experience with Fortran programming.
Experience in atmospheric radiation and remote sensing represent highly
desirable assets.
Applications are currently being
accepted and the position will remain open until filled.
The position is available for a maximum of three years pending annual
review and availability of funds. The fellowship is a Visiting
Fellowship in Canadian Government Laboratories administered by the
Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC): http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Students-Etudiants/PD-NP/Laboratories-Laboratoires/index_eng.asp.

Numerical
modelling of the marine dispersion of radionuclide released during the
accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant and transferred to marine
biota - Toulouse France
We are urgently looking for a candidate to
a PhD position on the dispersion and fate of the radionuclides from
Fukushima
into the sea, the particulate matter and the biota. The deadline to
apply
is the end of October.
Radioactive contamination of the marine
environment due to the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power
plant (11th March 2011) arises from several sources: radioactive
deposition
from atmospheric releases, direct liquid release from the nuclear power
plant and future runoff from contaminated land areas.
The SIROCCO group was the first, ten
days
after the nuclear accident to publish on a website in near-real time,
modelling
results of the dispersion of radionuclides together with validations
from
measurements performed by the Japanese authorities in a 30km circle
area
around the plant.
http://sirocco.omp.obs-mip.fr/outils/Symphonie/Produits/Japan/SymphoniePreviJapan.htm
Even if the model satisfactorily
explains
the radionuclides dispersion observed during the few weeks after the
accident,
numerous questions still remain concerning the input from the
contaminated
watersheds, the contamination of marine sediment and its capacity to
release
radionuclides during the forthcoming storms, the remote transport and
dilution
and the transfer of contamination in the living organisms. Part of
these
uncertainties depends of a poorly known process that is the fraction of
radionuclides transported respectively under dissolved and particulate
phases. Due to the fact that large-tsunamis have strong impact on
coastal
ecosystems (vegetation destruction, extensive erosion on shorelines,
changes
both
in river catchment areas and on seabed) an increase in suspended matter
concentrations is expected both in rivers and marine areas. Indeed,
observations
made after the tsunami that occurred in December 2004 in the Indian
Ocean
have shown a long-lasting increase in suspended matter over a large
scale.
It is thus likely that in the case of Fukushima, particle reactive
radionuclides
will be transported over long distances. In addition, in the coastal
areas,
contaminated sediment by particulate reactive radionuclides could act
as
a delayed source term when high energetic waves occur. In the frame of
this accident, transfers of radionuclide towards high trophic levels in
the food chains are key elements that deserve to be studied.
In order to answer most of the above
mentioned
points, it will be necessary to carry out modelling, analysis of
satellite
images as well as environmental measurements that are starting to pile
up thanks to Japanese sampling cruises and international cruises that
should
intensify in the forthcoming months. The student will benefit of the
solid
experience of the SIROCCO group with hydrodynamic and sediment
transport
modelling. IRSN will bring its expertise on the behaviour of
radionuclides
in the marine environment.
The position will be at the Laboratoire
d'Aérologie, CNRS, Toulouse (South of France) with short
duration
stays in the Marine Radioecology Laboratory, IRSN, in La Seyne sur Mer
(South of France).
Requirements The candidate should have
an expertise in physical oceanography with a liking for numerical
modelling.

motivation

Post
- doctoral position in Brest/France
"Decadal variability of
marine
ecosystem in the North Atlantic : a modelling approach" EURO-BASIN FP7
Programme
A Post Doc grant is available for 30
months
in ocean dynamics/biogeochemistry modeling starting in 2011 (as soon as
possible) at IUEM (LEMAR : Laboratory of the marine sciences of the
environment;
LPO : Laboratory of physical oceanography) in Brest/France.
Description of the position
The position is associated with the
European
program EURO-BASIN which aims at understanding the variability,
potential
impacts, and feedbacks of global change and anthropogenic forcing on
the
structure, function and dynamics of the North Atlantic ecosystems as
well
as key species influencing carbon sequestering, ecosystem functioning
and
marine resources. The position is associated with the modeling
workpackage
of the program, which is based on 1/4° basin scale simulations of
the
last 50 years using a General Circulation Model and an ecosystem model
of medium complexity (NEMO/PISCES: see web sites www.nemo-ocean.eu
and www.drakkar-ocean.eu).
The
major emphasis will be put on the impact of climatic forcing and ocean
dynamics on the export fluxes towards the deep ocean (carbon
sequestration)
and the higher trophic levels (resources), associated with the role of
the complexity of the ecosystem model. Coupling with "end - to - end"
models
is considered as well in order to analyze bottom - up (climate) and top
- down (fisheries) feedback processes.
Requirements
A PhD in geophysical fluid dynamics,
physical
oceanography or in marine biogeochemistry/biology is required for the
position.
A strong background in numerical modeling and in using massively
parallel
computers constitutes a necessary condition. The successful candidate
will
work with physical oceanographers, marine biogeochemists and biologists
(ecology), and will participate to shared work and intercomparisons
with
the European partners of EURO-BASIN (UK, IT).
For further informations, candidates
may
contact Laurent Memery at LEMAR (laurent.memery@univ-brest.fr),
or Olivier Aumont
(olivier.aumont@ird.fr)
at LPO.
The required information to be prepared
for each candidate is :
- a curriculum vitae including a
complete
list of publications
- copies of publications of interest for
the present post doctoral project
- if possible, letters of recommendation
All information must be sent by
email
before October 15 to :

A
postdoctoral
research position is available to study submesoscale dynamics in the
upper
ocean, with an emphasis on the transition from balanced to unbalanced
motions
at fronts.
The candidate should have a Ph. D. in
oceanography,
or a related discipline, with a strong background in geophysical fluid
dynamics. Experience in numerical modeling of geophysical turbulence is
ideal.
The researcher will be part of a team
of
about twenty investigators, funded by the Office of Naval Research to
measure
and model lateral mixing by submesoscale flows in the upper ocean.
While
the bulk of the project is centered on two field campaigns (one of
which
occurred in June near Cape Hatteras), the present position is funded to
develop numerical models and theory of submesoscale stirring and
mixing.
In addition to modeling and theory, the successful candidate may also
be
involved in data analysis, depending on interest and background.
The researcher will be based at the
Courant
Institute of New York University (in New York City), but co-supervised
by both Shafer Smith (NYU) and Raffaele Ferrari (MIT). It will be
possible,
and potentially preferable for the researcher to spend substantial time
at MIT as well.
The position is open starting this
fall,
with funding available until at least December, 2013. Interested
applicants
should send their CVs, via email, to both Shafer Smith (shafer@cims.nyu.edu)
and Raffaele Ferrari (raffaele@mit.edu).
The position will remain open until filled. Both MIT and NYU are equal
opportunity employers.
