[Jpjobs] Faculty position in physical oceanography at UConn

[Julia Westwater]

The Department of Marine Sciences at the University of Connecticut 
(UConn) invites applications for a 9-month, tenure-track position as 
Assistant Professor in the area of physical oceanography.  We seek 
candidates with physical oceanographic expertise that can include 
turbulence, waves, air-sea interaction, and physical ocean 
dynamics.  Preference will be given to those who apply observations to 
studying processes controlling mass, momentum, and energy transfer 
across boundaries (atmosphere and benthic), across density fronts, and 
throughout the ocean interior.  Competitive candidates should have 
experience in the development and use of modern measurement 
technologies, data analysis, and in the advancement of theory.
