Vacancies exist to undertake research on ocean climate and variability in the New Zealand region.
This research is directed towards improving knowledge of the short and long-term changes in waters masses and ocean currents, and to better predict the effects of these changes on New Zealand s climate and productive ecosystems. The positions involve work on existing projects as well as providing opportunities to plan new projects and perform a team leadership role. There are also possibilities for post-doctoral positions in these areas. This project seeks to determine the formation, characteristics and flow paths of climatically important water masses and the dynamics of the Subantarctic Front. The project utilises research vessel data, moored instrumentation and satellite products.
