Applications are invited for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Victoria (https://www.uvic.ca/) or the University of British Columbia (https://www.ubc.ca/) to conduct glider-centred process studies of continental shelf dynamics off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. The project is in partnership with the Canadian-Pacific Robotic Ocean Observing Facility (https://cproof.uvic.ca/) and the Hakai Institute (https://hakai.org/). As part of Pacific Rim Ocean Data Mobilization and Technology (PRODIGY, https://eoas-prodigy-2021.sites.olt.ubc.ca/), the fellow will also contribute to the research, teaching, mentoring, and partner engagement initiatives of the PRODIGY training program, delivering advanced graduate and postgraduate training in ocean observation, prediction and knowledge mobilization.
Past experience working with ocean gliders and/or ocean glider datasets is highly desirable. There is an exciting opportunity to employ glider-mounted turbulent microstructure instrumentation and engage with C-PROOF and PRODIGY partner Rockland Scientific (https://rocklandscientific.com/); thus experience and/or interest in microstructure turbulence observations is an asset.
