Applications are invited for a postdoctoral
researcher in ocean process modeling and
theory to work with Prof. Leif Thomas in the
Department of Earth System Science at Stanford
University. The successful candidate will
pursue research in the dynamics of
submesoscale processes and inertia-gravity
wave-mean flow interactions at ocean fronts
and their impact on generating small-scale
turbulence. The research is part of the
Submesoscales Under Near-Resonant Inertial
Shear Experiment (SUNRISE), a
multi-institution collaborative project, and
will involve a combination of theory,
numerical modeling, and analysis of
submesoscale-resolving observations from an
ongoing field campaign in the Northern Gulf of
Mexico. A strong background in geophysical
fluid dynamics with application to the ocean
or atmosphere and knowledge in numerical
modeling is required.<br class="">
<br class="">
Evaluation of applications will begin July
1st, 2019 and will continue until the position
is filled. The start date is flexible (ideally
be between Fall 2019 and Winter 2020), but
completion of the PhD is required. The
initial appointment is for one year and
renewable for one additional year, subject to
satisfactory performance. Applications should
be sent by email to
<a href="mailto:leift@stanford.edu" class=""
moz-do-not-send="true">leift@stanford.edu</a>
and include a CV, brief statement of research
interests, experience, and future career
plans, and the names and contact information
of three or more references.<br class="">
