Job description

Overview

New Climate Process Team seeks four physical oceanography postdoctoral scholars. Applicants are sought for postdoctoral scientists to join a recently NSF and NOAA funded Climate Process Team. The ultimate goal of the project is to better parameterize internal-wave driven mixing in ocean climate models. The team consists of 15+ PIs from leading institutions, with combined expertise in modeling, observational analysis, and theoretical work. We seek four postdoctoral fellows to work on various aspects of internal-wave driven mixing in the ocean, including numerical process studies, careful theory and data comparison, and development of parameterizations for use in global high-resolution and climate models.
