The Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) is a University Research Institute at NTU with a mission to conduct fundamental research on earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and climate change in and around Southeast Asia, towards safer and more sustainable societies.
EOS invites applications for a Research Fellow in ocean modelling specific to coastal waters in (and around) Singapore. The candidate will examine the conduct high-resolution ocean model (ROMS) simulations to study past and future marine heatwave events in Singapore and examine their impacts on marine ecosystems. The position is a key component of the Marine Climate Chance Science (MCCS) Programme aimed at assessing the long-term viability of mangroves and coral reefs as nature-based climate solutions in Singapore. The Research Fellow will work in a multidisciplinary research team, including coral reef geomorphology, sea level studies, climate modelling, and sedimentology to understand the response of Singapore’s coastal and marine ecosystems to anthropogenic and climate change impacts.
Key Responsibilities:
Set up and run high-resolution ocean model (ROMS) simulations to study past and future marine heatwaves in Singapore (and the wider SE Asia region)
Global climate model (e.g., CMIP6) data analysis related to the project goals
Handle data management and statistical analysis
Work effectively with colleagues from the project, and with local and international collaborators
Writing and publication of results in peer-reviewed journals
Presentation of research work in various forums (e.g., international conferences)
Job Requirements:
PhD degree in oceanography, climate science, or a closely related field
Prior experience of working with ocean and numerical models (ROMS preferred)
Knowledge of ocean and climate dynamics within Indo-Pacific region
Experience in handling large climate datasets
Excellent knowledge of data analysis tools in climate science
Prior experience in publishing first-authored papers in peer-reviewed journals
Excellent oral and written communications skills in English
Ability to work independently
Collaborative and interested in working with other multidisciplinary researchers and scientists
We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
