[Jpjobs] Postdoc in ocean process modeling and theory at Stanford University

[Julia Westwater]

>> Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher in ocean 
>> process modeling and theory to work with Prof. Leif Thomas in the 
>> Department of Earth System Science at Stanford University. The 
>> successful candidate will pursue research in the dynamics of 
>> submesoscale processes and inertia-gravity wave-mean flow 
>> interactions at ocean fronts and their impact on generating 
>> small-scale turbulence.  The research is part of the Submesoscales 
>> Under Near-Resonant Inertial Shear Experiment (SUNRISE), a 
>> multi-institution collaborative project, and will involve a 
>> combination of theory, numerical modeling, and analysis of 
>> submesoscale-resolving observations from an ongoing field campaign in 
>> the Northern Gulf of Mexico.  A strong background in geophysical 
>> fluid dynamics with application to the ocean or atmosphere and 
>> knowledge in numerical modeling is required.
>>
>> Evaluation of applications will begin July 1st, 2019 and will 
>> continue until the position is filled. The start date is flexible 
>> (ideally be between Fall 2019 and Winter 2020), but completion of the 
>> PhD is required.  The initial appointment is for one year and 
>> renewable for one additional year, subject to satisfactory 
>> performance. Applications should be sent by email to 
>> leift at stanford.edu <mailto:leift at stanford.edu> and include a CV, 
>> brief statement of research interests, experience, and future career 
>> plans, and the names and contact information of three or more references.
