Position Available: Postdoctoral Researcher
Glacier-Ocean Interactions


A postdoctoral researcher position is available at the School of Marine 
Science and Policy, University of Delaware. The postdoctoral researcher 
will undertake an investigation of the role that the ocean plays in 
glacier retreat along the west Antarctic Peninsula shelf. The focus is 
on understanding heat transport processes across the shelf and their 
impact on ice melt, using a combination of historical data and the 
output of newly-developed high-resolution models of the shelf and 
adjacent glacier fjords. The project is part of a collaborative effort 
with scientists at University of Oregon, Old Dominion University, 
and University of South Florida. Applicants must have a PhD in physical 
oceanography, glaciology, or a closely related discipline, as well as 
experience in observations and/or model output analysis, and strong 
quantitative and writing skills. Expertise in polar systems is 
preferred.

The position is available for a year, with renewal for one year 
contingent upon performance and funding. The School of Marine Science 
and Policy at UD hosts a lively community of ocean science researchers 
at both the Newark and Lewes campuses. The postdoctoral researcher will 
have the opportunity to interact with scientists in both places, with 
the position based at the Newark campus.

Candidates should submit a cover letter, statement of research, CV, and 
graduate transcript (unofficial transcripts accepted) through the 
University of Delaware Jobs website (ID# 103796). In addition, 
applicants must request that three confidential letters 
of recommendation be sent electronically to Dr. Carlos Moffat at 
cmoffat at udel.edu. Applicants should indicate in their cover letter the 
date by which they anticipate having their doctoral degree conferred. 
Additional information is available at www.carlosmoffat.com or by 
contacting Prof. Carlos Moffat. Priority will be given to applications 
received by September 15, 2016. The position is available starting as 
soon as Winter 2017.

encourages applications from Minority Group Members, Women, Individuals 
with Disabilities and Veterans. The University’s Notice of
