The Graduate School of Oceanography seeks a scientist for the position of tenured Professor of Oceanography. A primary focus of the successful candidate will be ocean exploration that integrates ship-based field programs, innovative technology development (with emphasis on autonomous systems), and broad-based educational outreach activities. The individual will assume a leadership role as co-P.I. in the recently-funded, 5 year NOAA Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute (OECI) led by the Graduate School of Oceanography (URI) and its institutional partners, University of New Hampshire, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the University of Southern Mississippi. Preference will be given to applicants with a distinguished record of planning and executing oceanographic research cruises that utilize remotely operated and autonomous vehicles (ROV/AUVs). This hire will develop broad linkages within GSO, as well as with URI’s College of the Environment and Life Sciences (CELS) and the College of Engineering, and will play a significant role with GSO’s Center for Ocean Exploration. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to develop an externally funded research program and is encouraged to assist in leading exploration and research cruises onboard the E/V Nautilus and other oceanographic vessels, including the R/V Resolution.

Job Summary

A postdoctoral position in physical oceanography is available in the Division of Marine Science at The University of Southern Mississippi. The successful candidate will work on the Task Force Ocean (TFO) project “Modeling, characterizing, and predicting effects of internal gravity waves on acoustic propagation on basin to global scales”, which is supported by a grant from the Office of Naval Research (ONR). This three-year project is a cross-disciplinary effort between physical oceanographers, ocean-acoustic and sonar-performance-prediction modelers, and specialists in machine learning to model, characterize, and predict the acoustic effects of internal gravity waves.  The main goal of this sub-project is to advance our understanding of internal gravity waves in global HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) simulations: i.e., their generation, dissipation, and their interactions with the mean flow. Ultimately, a better understanding of internal gravity waves may aid the development of mixing parameterizations used in climate model simulations.
