Missions
The Laboratory of Physical and Spatial Oceanography (LOPS) is seeking to hire a research assistant to participate in the implementation and development of user-friendly 3D objective eddy framing programs using existing Lagrangian Coherent Structure (LCS) methods, such as Lagrangian-averaged vorticity deviation (LAVD) or null geodesic methods. The candidate is expected to work closely with scientists from LOPS and apply the methods to a variety of velocity fields, from coarse resolution altimetry to very high resolution (200 m) model outputs.
Activités
The implementation and development of the objective coherent eddies detection tools is expected to be primarily done using Python. However, the research assistant will also occasionally have to adapt Matlab programs. The task will consist in the optimization (computing performance) of readily available tools to handle large three-dimensional velocity fields and all kind of numerical grids. The toolbox should be made readily usable by scientists, other research assistants and students, and the research assistant is expected to deliver as “user friendly” tools as possible. The task also involves the training of scientists and students at using the toolbox.
Compétences
Masters/Diploma from an engineering school in physical oceanography, atmospheric sciences, data sciences or mathematics applied to scientific computing.
Solid experience in scientific programming is required and experience in the implementation, use and theory of coherent Lagrangian structures will be particularly appreciated.
Rigour, adaptability, autonomy and teamwork are expected in this role.
Contexte de travail
The research assistant will join an UMR of 59 scientists, 50 research assistants and 40 postgraduate students. They will be provided with all necessary computational resources, and a safe and friendly work environment.
Contraintes et risques
No particular risks other than those associated with office work. There is no on-call duty outside normal working hours and days. No travel is planned at this stage.
