lang="EN-CA"><span style=""> </span>Support is available for
a
Post-Doctoral researcher to participate in the development of
acoustic instruments
capable of measuring sediment and fluid transport in coastal
environments at
turbulence resolving scales.<span style=""> </span>For
this purpose, multi-frequency Doppler sonar systems operating
at MHz
frequencies are being designed to probe the benthic boundary
layer.<span style=""> </span>The goal of the project is to
enable
measurements of both suspended sediment and "bed load"
transport.<span style=""> </span>The project provides
opportunities
in sonar design, scattering theory, computer modeling,
laboratory trials, and
field measurements.</span></p>

The successful applicant will have a PhD degree in Physical
Oceanography,
Coastal Engineering, or a related field. Experience in
computer modeling, sonar
system design and use, or sediment transport is desirable.
Familiarity with the
