The Pacific Community (SPC) is seeking an experienced candidate for the position of Pacific Islands-Global Ocean Observing Systems (PIGOOS) Coordinator. The successful candidate will coordinate and manage the activities expected of the Pacific Islands GOOS programme. The role involves expanding the PI‐GOOS programme substantially by identifying gaps, supporting needs assessments, and advocating for strengthening ocean observation capacity of PICTs as well as improving seasonal predictions of weather and climate. Additionally, the successful candidate will represent the region in relevant forums, conduct stakeholder engagement and work internally within SPC and with partners to secure funding opportunities.

The essential requirements: postgraduate level in natural sciences preferably climate science, marine science, environment science, oceanography, or related discipline; and at least 5 years experience in technical and applied science activities including planning, analysis, and development of associated tools and products. This vacant position is budgeted until 31 December 2026 – subject to renewal depending on funding and performance. The application deadline is 10 December 2023 at 11:59 pm (Fiji time). Please read the original announcement for further details on the requirements and recruitment process.

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is seeking a skilled and enthusiastic oceanographer to join NOC’s Ocean Biogeosciences group (OBG) in a new, open-ended Research Scientist position in marine biogeochemistry and physical oceanography. This position will investigate the impact of ocean circulation variability on air-sea CO2 fluxes and carbon accumulation in the North Atlantic, playing a central role in an exciting, multi-disciplinary project: the NERC-NSF funded ROCCA (Role of the Overturning Circulation in Carbon Accumulation), part of the ambitious CCROC (Climate Consequences of Rapid Ocean Changes) programme. The first 2.5 years of this role will focus on quantifying the transport of carbon across the subtropical and subpolar boundaries of the North Atlantic with particular focus on incorporating new biogeochemical observations with velocity fields at the location of the overturning mooring arrays, and at the beginning of the Gulf Stream, to uncover new understanding of how the North Atlantic is ventilated over multiple timescales.

This full-time position will be based in Southampton, UK. NOC can support visa applications where required. The application deadline is 10 December 2023. Please read the original announcement for further details on the requirements and recruitment process.

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is seeking a skilled and enthusiastic oceanographer to join NOC’s Ocean Biogeosciences group (OBG) in a new, open-ended Research Scientist position in marine biogeochemistry and physical oceanography. This position will investigate the impact of ocean circulation variability on air-sea CO2 fluxes and carbon accumulation in the North Atlantic, playing a central role in two exciting, multi-disciplinary UK-US projects: C-Streams (The Gulf Stream control of the North Atlantic carbon sink) and ROCCA (Role of the Overturning Circulation in Carbon Accumulation), part of the ambitious NERC-NSF funded CCROC (Climate Consequences of Rapid Ocean Changes) programme. This position will focus on the role of circulation on carbon uptake by the ocean, and the knowledge gaps of how North Atlantic CO2 fluxes will respond to a weakening overturning strength into the future.

This full-time position will be based in Southampton, UK. NOC can support visa applications where required. The application deadline is 10 December 2023. Please read the original announcement for further details on the requirements and recruitment process.

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is seeking a skilled and enthusiastic Research Assistant in Marine Biogeochemistry to join NOC’s Ocean Biogeosciences group (OBG) in a new, open-ended position that will focus on marine carbon, nutrient and oxygen cycling. You will play a central role in a number of exciting, multi-disciplinary projects investigating the drivers of air-sea CO2 fluxes and biological activity in the Atlantic, Arctic and Southern Oceans (including BIOPOLE, BIO-Carbon, and CLASS). The position will assist research into marine biogeochemical cycles; principally the uptake, transport and accumulation of CO2 by the oceans, its impact on ocean acidification and the role of nutrients in driving biological carbon fluxes.

This full-time position will be based in Southampton, UK. NOC can support visa applications where required. The application deadline is 10 December 2023. Please read the original announcement for further details on the requirements and recruitment process.

The University of Southampton and the National Oceanography Center are recruiting candidates for the funded PhD ocean carbon observation project "Keeping up with ocean change: Using robots to push the envelope in ocean carbon observing". A suitable first degree would be in any Earth or Environmental Science discipline, chemistry, oceanography or marine science. The application deadline is 03 January 2024. For more information, please read the original announcement.

The INSPIRE Doctoral Training Partnerships programme provides comprehensive personal and professional development training alongside extensive opportunities for students to expand their multi-disciplinary outlook through interactions with a wide network of academic, research and industrial/policy partners. The student will be registered at the University of Southampton and hosted at the National Oceanography Centre. Specific training will include: the science and metrology of carbon dioxide and the dissolved carbonate system, autonomous systems and their application to carbon observing, instrumentation development, analytical chemistry and sensor engineering. The student will benefit from training events planned through project GEORGE including workshops on autonomy, data processing and QA/QC and carbon observing best practices.

The Division of Marine Science in the School of Ocean Science and Engineering (SOSE) at The University of Southern Mississippi invites qualified applicants for a full-time, 9-month, tenure-track faculty position in Marine Chemistry at the assistant level to begin in Fall 2024. They are particularly interested in candidates who can make use of existing analytical infrastructure for trace element analysis, including a high resolution ICP-MS, clean lab, and other related equipment. Moreover, the candidate is expected to develop a strong, externally funded research program, publish peer-reviewed literature, mentor students, participate in undergraduate and graduate instruction and develop courses in their area of study. The candidate should demonstrate the potential to contribute across disciplines and promote the continued interdisciplinary growth of the academic and research programs within SOSE. 

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in oceanography, marine chemistry, or a related field. The successful candidate will be required to pass a NASA background security check to work at Stennis Space Center, and a USM employment background check. Review of applications begins 8 January 2024 and continues until the position is filled. For more information on requirements and the recruitment process, please read the original announcement.
