This role is part of the NERC-funded 2WayXChange project, examining how freshening-driven reductions in AABW formation are altering deep ocean circulation and contributing to warming and ice melt on the East Antarctic shelf. The Fellow will join an interdisciplinary, international collaboration spanning the University of Southampton, University of East Anglia, British Antarctic Survey, UK Met Office, and partners in Australia and New Zealand, contributing to research with relevance to the upcoming IPCC assessment.

Applicants should hold (or be near completion of) a PhD in physical oceanography or a related field, with experience analysing hydrographic datasets (e.g. CTD, XBT, Argo) and strong Python programming skills. A track record of first-author publications, solid understanding of Southern Ocean dynamics, and strong quantitative and problem-solving abilities are essential. Experience with inverse methods, TEOS-10, or Southern Ocean data is desirable but not required. Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively are important.
