MPOWIR Mentoring Physical Oceanography Women to Increase Retention
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Ice shelf/Iceberg-Ocean interaction – Princet
MPOWIR Mentoring Physical Oceanography Women to Increase Retention, Princeton, New Jersey, us, 08543
Overview
The Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program at Princeton University, in association with NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), seeks a postdoctoral researcher or more senior position to investigate the physics of ocean interactions with ice shelves and icebergs using numerical models. Research questions include the role of large calving events in the climate system, influence of ice-ocean interactions on properties of water formation, and the importance of icebergs representation in climate models. The models are designed for climate studies which provide the overarching context for the research. Responsibilities
The prospective candidate will conduct numerical modeling studies addressing ice-ocean interactions, with a focus on ice shelves and icebergs. The work aims to contribute to understanding calving processes and their climate implications. Qualifications
A strong background in one or more of the following areas: physical oceanography, numerical methods, glaciology, sea-ice dynamics, and geophysical fluid dynamics. Experience with developing numerical models will be advantageous. A Ph.D. is required in applied mathematics, physics, oceanography, cryosphere science, or a related field. Appointment details
Initial appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal subject to satisfactory performance and available funding. Complete applications, including a CV, a statement of research interests, and contact information of 3 references, should be submitted by November 1st, 2018 11:59 P.M. EST for full consideration. Applicants must be submitted online to https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/8941. This position is subject to the University’s background check policy. EEO / applicable notices
This opportunity is open to all genders and career stages.
