Postdoctoral Scholar in Physical Oceanography at Scripps Institution of Oceangraphy, University of California San Diego

A postdoctoral scholar position is available to work with Paola Cessi on the global oceanic circulation, with special emphasis on exchanges between large-scale basins, and in particular between the Indo-Pacific and the Atlantic. The approach is to use a range of models (conceptual box models, primitive-equations computations in simplified geometries) and data sets such as ECCO version 4, to understand the mass, temperature and salinity interbasin exchanges involved in the global overturning circulation.

DESCRIPTION

Visiting Scientist – Modeler/Code Optimization

Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellow
Location: Boulder, CO
Type: Full-time
Position Term: 2-years, with possibility of extension
 Application Deadline:

This position will be posted until September 28, 2018 or until a sufficient number of applications have been received. Thereafter, applications will be reviewed on an as-needed basis.

Relocation:
Relocation assistance is available for this position.

Work Authorization:
UCAR/NCAR will sponsor a work visa to fill this position.

 Who We Are:
Located in Boulder, Colorado, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is one of the world’s premier scientific institutions, with an internationally recognized staff and research program dedicated to advancing knowledge, providing community-based resources, and building human capacity in the atmospheric and related sciences.  NCAR is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and managed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR).

What You Will Do:
We invite applications for two postdoctoral fellows to conduct fundamental, process-oriented research as part of NCAR’s pre-field contribution to the Pacific Upwelling and Mixing Physics (PUMP) study, which is part of the NOAA Climate Variability and Predictability Program.  PUMP is directed at the complex of interacting oceanic processes that connect the thermocline to the surface in the equatorial Pacific cold tongue.

We are seeking applications for the role of Professional Officer in the Science Support team at our Secretariat in Copenhagen. 

​The responsibilities of the Professional Officer will span across departments (science, advice and data) with a primary objective to strengthen the profile and co-ordination of work conducted by ICES expert groups and to further develop ICES capacity for scientific advice. As Professional Officer, you will play a valuable role in facilitating and highlighting ICES science and enabling a stronger integration of scientific developments and ecosystem considerations in our advice.

You will join a dynamic and collaborative international team in Copenhagen, who is committed to providing a welcoming, efficient and rewarding working environment, serving the ICES network, and advancing the scope and impact of marine science. Read more ›

Postdoctoral Fellowship
Building a coupled ice-surge-wave forecast modeling system for Western Alaska
Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research
School for Environment and Sustainability
University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan

Job Summary

A postdoctoral fellowship is available for a highly qualified individual to work on a NOAA-funded grant that will develop storm surge forecasts for western Alaska. Regional forecasters and the communities they serve in this region are limited in their ability to assess threats from storm events, and have no basis to determine risk, the potential impacts of storms, or to evaluate safe evacuation routes and locations. The region’s complex geography, patterns of atmospheric and ocean circulation, and extensive continental shelf and coastal floodplain leaves many western Alaskan communities vulnerable to flooding events.

Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences

University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on problems of oceanic circulation dynamics using the Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS) and the spectral Large Eddy Simulator Flow_Solve. The researcher would join a highly experienced group, run by Professor James C. McWilliams, with expertise in computational methods, realistic and idealized simulation of complex flows, and dynamical processes. The focus of the research will be on the interactions between near inertial waves (NIW), mesoscale eddies, and submesoscale fronts and filaments (‘NIW-eddy-front interactions’). Problems of interest include quantifying the degree to which NIW-eddy-front interactions in the mixed-layer, thermocline, and the abyss modify the oceanic Kinetic and Available Potential energy pathways; and determining whether the scattering and dispersion of NIWs by eddies and fronts is crucial to obtaining the commonly observed Garrett- Munk spectrum. The work is partly motivated and supported by a series of field experiments in the North-Atlantic subpolar gyre, south of Iceland. Read more ›
