The Senior Ocean Data Analyst will support the ARC Laureate Fellowship project 'Precision Climate Tracking of the Earth's Response to Emission Reduction', which addresses the global challenge of monitoring the Earth's response to climate change by enabling precise tracking of energy balance and the water cycle, understanding human and natural climate influences, and developing decision-support tools in collaboration with international partners. The role involves conducting high-level analysis of large ocean datasets, producing value-added data products and visualisations integrated into IMOS information resources, supporting the deployment of project tools, and contributing to research outputs and publications, with a high degree of autonomy and active engagement across all project activities.
Job Responsibility:
Develop and implement new scientific tools for the slow and fast changes in the oceans as part of the earth's energy balance and water cycle
Develop products for precision tracking of the oceans including the attributable part due to human influence and natural variations
Analyse and evaluate the developed products to enable an assessment of their quality
Deliver annual updates of the earth's ocean temperatures, ocean salinity and other ocean variables on the IMOS portal
Contribute to the training of Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students in data products and analysis and where appropriate act as a research adviser.
Requirements:
A PhD or equivalent in an oceans related discipline (e.g. physical oceanography, geophysics, ocean biogeochemistry)
A high level of skill in scientific programming and scientific research tools including tools for repeatable detailed statistical analysis and interpolation methods
Experience in the delivery of products through the web in collaboration with ocean data providers
Skilled in the use of ocean re-analysis products and climate model data sets (like the CMIP simulations) and their analysis, particularly for the ocean component of these coupled models
Skilled in technical writing to support research projects and the capability to contribute to quality publications and presentations at conferences.
