[Jpjobs] Postdoc in equatorial oceanography and ocean carbon cycle

[Julia Westwater]

>> *Postdoctoral Position in Ocean Carbon Cycle*
>>
>> The University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) seeks a 
>> Postdoctoral Research Fellow in equatorial oceanography and the ocean 
>> carbon cycle. UTIG, a research unit of the Jackson School of 
>> Geosciences at UT Austin, is known for international field programs 
>> in geophysics, planetary science, and Earth sciences.
>>
>> *Responsibilities:
>> *The selected candidate will collaborate with Dr. Pedro DiNezio on an 
>> NSF-funded project studying ongoing and future changes in sea-air CO2 
>> exchange over the tropical Pacific Ocean. This project will use a 
>> combination of existing and new Earth System Model (ESM) simulations 
>> to study the effects of increasing CO2, ocean circulation, warmer 
>> temperatures, and biology on equatorial outgassing of CO2. Model 
>> dependence of the results will be explored using existing output from 
>> CMIP models. The research will involve configuring, running, and 
>> analyzing climate model simulations, observational analysis, and the 
>> development of process-based diagnostics.
>>
>> *Required Qualifications:*
>>
>>   * Ph.D. in climate dynamics, physical/chemical oceanography;
>>     ability analyzing large multi-model climate/oceanographic
>>     datasets; ability designing and performing climate model
>>     experiments using CESM or a similar model on a shared
>>     super-computing platform; experience using MATLAB, NCO, Python,
>>     or NCL; experience with UNIX shell scripting and Fortran.
>>   * Written and oral communication skills sufficient to lead and
>>     author manuscripts and present research at conferences.
>>
>> The initial appointment is for one year with a potential extension 
>> for an additional year. Starting date is flexible during 
>> winter/spring of 2019. Salary is $60,000 per year and appointees are 
>> eligible for group health and dental insurance. Limited support will 
>> be available for travel, equipment, and other research expenses.
>>
>> Applications must contain:
>>
>>  1. a current Curriculum Vitae (CV) that includes education,
>>     employment history, and publications;
>>  2. a concise statement of research interests and how they align with
>>     the study of the role of the tropical oceans in the carbon cycle; and
>>  3. names and contact information for three individuals willing to
>>     provide references.
>>
>> Consideration of applications will begin February 1, 2019, and will 
>> continue until the position has been filled.
>>
>> Applicants can send applications electronically as email attachment 
>> to PostDocUTIG at ig.utexas.edu <mailto:PostDocUTIG at ig.utexas.edu>. 
>> Informal enquiries can be made to Dr. Pedro DiNezio
