[Jpjobs] Postdoctoral Researcher - Measuring sediment transport in Coastal Environments

[Julia Westwater]

Postdoctoral Researcher - Measuring sediment transport in Coastal 
Environments

Memorial University, St. John's, NL, AND Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS.

*Description:*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.For this purpose, multi-frequency Doppler 
sonar systems operating at MHz frequencies are being designed to probe 
the benthic boundary layer.The goal of the project is to enable 
measurements of both suspended sediment and "bed load" transport.The 
project provides opportunities in sonar design, scattering theory, 
computer modeling, laboratory trials, and field measurements.

*Qualifications:*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 Matlab programming 
environment would be an asset.

*Application:*Please send a cover letter describing interests, a CV and 
contact information for three references to: alex.hay at dal.ca 
<mailto:alex.hay at dal.ca> and zedel at mun.ca <mailto:zedel at mun.ca>.Review 
of applicants will begin immediately and continue until a suitable 
candidate is found.The start date is flexible but ideally, the 
successful candidate would begin *early in 2013*.
