<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">We seek a post-doctoral researcher interested to improve understanding of wave transformation and hydrodynamics on rocky shorelines. About 75% of the world’s coastlines can be classified as “rocky,”
with complex three-dimensional (3D) bottom geometries at scales of cm to 100s m. This bottom variability effects ocean waves and currents through conservative and non-conservative processes that are dramatically different than those found on more commonly
studied sandy beaches. As part of a multi-institutional team, this post-doctoral project will conduct, analyze and improve upon coupled wave spectral (SWAN) and circulation (ROMS) numerical models applied to rocky shorelines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The Office of Naval Research-funded program, “ROXSI: ROcky shores eXperiments and Simulations” is a collaboration between the Naval Postgraduate School, Oregon State University, Scripps Institution
of Oceanography, University of Delaware, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and University of North Carolina Wilmington. The project goal is to collect high-resolution observations of waves, current, and turbulence on rocky shorelines to better understand
the dynamics of these regions and improve their representation in numerical models. This postdoctoral researcher will participate in the evaluation and development of wave and current models with collaboration across the ROXSI modeling and observational groups.
Opportunities for field experiment participation, travel to national conferences, and project meetings are supported. Please contact Ata Suanda (<a href="mailto:suandas@uncw.edu">suandas@uncw.edu</a>) with questions or further details about this position.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
