The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is looking for an Ocean Modeller (Amundsen Sea) to join our Polar Oceans/Shelf Seas Team. The successful candidate will be developing, running and evaluating a regional ocean model of the Amundsen Sea, Antarctica, including its ice shelves. They will use climate-model forcings to produce hindcasts of ice shelf melt rates since 1920, and projections of melting to 2100. The successful candidate will validate the model against observations of the recent past, and interpret the implications for ocean melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. This role is part of a joint UK-Japanese project focused upon ocean processes in the Amundsen Sea. To be successful in this role, you must have experience in the use of numerical models of ocean circulation, and of c
