Full-Time Research Staff in Physical Oceanography and Other Related Fields

the resources of the whole province to improve Hainan University”.

The State Key Laboratory of Marine Resources Utilization in South China Sea of Hainan University (hereinafter referred to as MRU) was approved in July 2016, and it is the first state key laboratory for the development, utilization and conservation of marine resources in the South China Sea in China. In order to cater to the discipline construction and development needs, MRU openly recruit outstanding talents in the field of physical oceanography and other fields at home and abroad.

I. Recruitment Field or Orientation

Physical oceanography focuses on waves, tides, ocean circulation, mesoscale eddies, turbulence, mixing, climate change through in situ observation, numerical simulation, remote sensing and theoretical analysis. This discipline is closely related to the earth’s climate, formation and changes of weather, survival and activities of marine organisms, transport of materials and heat in the ocean, erosion and changes of coast and seafloor, and marine transportation activities, etc. The research results are meaningful after being applied in marine disaster warning and forecasting, marine environment safety and security, marine rights and interests protection, marine resources development, offshore engineering, and climate prediction.

Discipline Orientation

1. Physical Oceanography: research on ocean circulation, dynamics, turbulence, mixing, transport of energies and materials, etc.
2. Ocean Numerical Model Development and Application: being familiar with international mainstream numerical models; develop numerical models; conduct independent research using numerical models.
3. Ocean Observation: physical ocean observation; ocean monitoring technology; instrument development and other related work.
4. Ocean Remote Sensing: research on ocean remote sensing algorithm, inversion and application.

Specialties: physical oceanography, ocean observation, ocean numerical simulation, biogeochemical coupled models, hydrodynamics, environmental science/engineering, mathematics, computer science/engineering or related majors.
