The British Antarctic Survey (BAS), a component of the Natural
Environment Research Council, is the UK's national Antarctic operator
and has conducted Britain's scientific research in and around Antarctica
for the past sixty years.

Research is conducted at five Antarctic stations: Rothera, Halley and
Signy on the continent proper, while King Edward Point and Bird Island
are in the sub-Antarctic region of South Georgia. All operations and
science programmes are executed and managed from our UK offices in
Cambridge.

BAS is seeking an observational oceanographer to be involved in the
multi-disciplinary Discovery-2010 programme, as part of the recruitment
for its next 5-year programme (Global Science in the Antarctic Context;
GSAC).

There are also several other new positions at BAS. They range from PhD
studentships to open-ended appointments suitable for
postdoctoral or higher-level physicists/oceanographers. They cover
observational oceanography, interaction with the marine ecosystem,
modelling and ocean/atmosphere/ice interactions. Further appointments
will become available in the next few months as recruitment for GSAC
continues.
