The Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI), Polar Climate Program, invites
applications for a 2.5-year postdoctoral research position in physical
oceanography.

The successful applicant will conduct research on the role of fresh
water in the dynamics of the Nordic Seas. The research will mainly focus
on the fate of arctic freshwater exported through Fram Strait and will
be based on analysis of data from moorings and recent cruises. The
position is part of iAOOS-Norway, an IPY project running through 2010.
The candidate must be willing to participate on scientific cruises and
fieldwork in the Arctic.

NPI seeks candidates with good knowledge of Nordic Seas properties and
their role in the climate system. The applicant must hold a PhD or
possess equivalent experience within physical oceanography. Experience
from cruises and/or oceanographic data analysis is an asset. The
candidate will start as soon as possible. Female candidates are
encouraged to apply for the position.

publications, and details of relevant qualifications and experience. NPI
