Doctoral Student in Physical Oceanography

Gothenburg, Sweden
Closes in 15 days (Mar 17, 2026)

A Doctoral (PhD) position in Physical Oceanography is offered at the Department of Marine Sciences, focusing on ice–ocean interactions in polar regions. The project, part of the SEAL National Research School, investigates boundary-layer processes beneath Antarctic ice shelves using laboratory experiments, numerical simulations (DNS/LES), and field data from autonomous underwater vehicles. The research aims to understand how ice–ocean physics shapes melting, circulation, and climate-relevant processes. The candidate will engage in interdisciplinary polar research, coursework (60 ECTS), teaching duties (up to 20%), and potential fieldwork in demanding polar environments.
