Overview

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in coastal and estuarine modelling to join the Coastal Ocean Processes team at the National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool. This post is offered as part of the project “Salt intrusion: Understanding the Pearl River Estuary by Modelling and field Experiments (SUPREME)”, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council as a Newton Fund activity. The project is a collaboration between the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, Sun Yat-sen University in China and the National Oceanography Centre in the UK.

The overall aim of the project is to understand the three-dimensional salt transport mechanisms in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) and their sensitivity to variations in external forcing and local geographic shape. The knowledge and tools developed/applied in this project will then help assess the effectiveness of measures to alleviate undesired changes in salt intrusion. The proje...
