A postdoctoral scholar position is available to work on the global oceanic circulation, with special emphasis on the abyssal component. The approach is to use a range of models and data sets (conceptual models, primitive-equations computations, state estimates) and diagnostics (Eulerian and Lagrangian), to understand the mass, buoyancy, temperature and salinity three-dimensional exchanges in the abyssal overturning circulation.
Required qualifications:
- A doctoral degree in physical oceanography, atmospheric sciences or related fields;
- Programming experience in at least one general purpose language.
Preferred qualifications:
- A strong understanding of oceanography, climate dynamics, or a relevant physical science;
- Previous experience with ocean GCMs;
- Previous experience with high-performance computing.
Appointment: initially for two years, renewable to a third year.
Salary depends on qualifications: The minimum annual salary is $66,737 for the first year, with minimum 3.7% yearly increases. Health/vision/dental benefits are included. There is also support for attendance to conferences and publication charges.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a one-page statement of research interests, a summary of doctoral dissertation and at least two references. Deadline for applications is February 28, 2025. Please send applications to Paola Cessi (pcessi AT ucsd DOT edu).
