Job Description

Tropical Marine Science Institute (TMSI) of National University of Singapore (NUS) has a vacancy in the area of wind-wave modelling in the warming climate. The upcoming Project funded by a Singapore Agency for 4 years includes regional (South-East Asia, SEA) dynamical downscaling of wind-waves using CMIP6 GCMs projections for 21st century. The particular emphasis will be on wind-waves trend and extremes in Singapore coastal waters. The successful candidate will be responsible for: -setting and running WAVEWATCH-III (and/or SWAN) model using past and projected atmospheric forces downscaled by the atmospheric team; -use model experiments and data analysis to compute and understand mechanisms of regional (SEA) wind-wave variability and trend driven by large scale atmosphere/oceanic processes. Candidate will be having Ph.D. in ocean/coastal sciences/engineering from a reputable University. Depending on qualifications and experience, successful Candidate could be employed at Research Fellow or Senior Research Fellow level.

Qualifications

Successful candidate will be having the following knowledge, skills and experience:

• Understanding of mechanisms of wind-waves generation and propagation at various scales, from global ocean to local coastal.
• Understanding of mechanisms of ocean/coastal responses to the climate change.
• Capability to set and run regional numerical experiments using WAVEWATCH-III (and/or SWAN) ocean model.
• Capability to apply modern data analysis methods used for ocean dynamics research;
• Ability to work in multidisciplinary team of researchers, including ocean/coastal and atmosphere scientists;
• Track records in publications.
