Context

The position will be based in the Physical and Spatial Oceanography Laboratory (LOPS) at the Institut Universitaire Européen de la Mer. LOPS is a joint research unit under the auspices of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS www.cnrs.fr), the Institut Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer (Ifremer www.ifremer.fr), the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD www.ird.fr) and the Université de Bretagne Occidentale (UBO www.univ-brest.fr). It is also a laboratory of the Institut Universitaire Européen de la Mer (IUEM). As a research unit, LOPS develops and participates in oceanography research programmes that contribute to the development of knowledge on ocean dynamics on different time and space scales and that study the relationship between the ocean and other compartments of the Earth system such as the atmosphere, continents, ice and living organisms.

The person will develop his/her work as part of the DIY Oceanography BZH group, which brings together a consortium of engineers/technicians and researchers from the oceanography centre in Brest (Ifremer, CNRS, UBO, ENSTA).

Mission

The person recruited will join the ISblue DIYFREE project. The main aim of this one-year project is to consolidate the actions initiated by the DIY Oceanography BZH consortium, in particular the creation of an open online resource dedicated to the physics of in situ oceanographic measurements. The project also aims to develop the use of these resources for training purposes, to disseminate the consortium's efforts at national and international level and, lastly, to stimulate a number of DIY instrumentation developments.

Activities

Reporting to Aurélien Ponte (Ifremer), Emmanueal Augereau (CNRS) and Olivier Fauvarque (Ifremer), your role will be to contribute to the DIYFREE project by consolidating the online resource of the DIY Oceanography BZH consortium.

What will you be doing?
- You will be responsible for editing the internet resource of the DIY Oceanography BZH group (via its github repository and interfacing with Read the Docs). This internet resource can be accessed at the following address
https://diy-oceanography-bzh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
- For each variable considered (temperature, salinity, etc.), you will adapt the presentations describing the physics of the associated measurement currently available in pdf format to the Sphinx Book Theme format.
- You will complete, translate into English and harmonise the descriptions of the physics of the measurement associated with each of the variables.
- You will expand the databases of sensors available for DIY experimentation and ensure that they are made available on the website.
- You will contribute to the development of web pages dedicated to the development of existing DIY projects.
- You will interact with teaching members of the UBO to ensure the suitability of online resources for use in their teaching activities.

Skills / Profil

With an engineering degree and/or a Master's in physical, oceanographic or atmospheric sciences, you have a real aptitude for mastering the concepts of the physics of instrumental measurement.
You have solid IT skills and can demonstrate an ability to master the following tools: git version management system, jupyter, ReStructuredText, conda environment management.
You have strong synthesis and writing skills, including in technical English.
You are keenly aware of open technological developments (Open Source Hardware) and low-cost technologies.
You enjoy multitasking.
Rigorous and organised, you know how to manage your priorities under tight deadlines and have good self-control and stress management skills.
You have excellent interpersonal skills and enjoy working as part of a team (but are also able to work independently).
