Job description

Overview

Postdoctoral position in physical oceanography is available in the Department of Marine Science at The University of Southern Mississippi. The successful candidate will work on various problems related to tide and internal tide generation, propagation and dissipation in the realistically forced global HYCOM model. In particular, a better parameterization of internal tide wave drag will be explored. The candidate is expected to perform idealized 2D and realistic global 3D HYCOM simulations. This position allows for ample collaboration opportunities with science partners of the ONR NOPP project Topic 3 “Seamless Forecasting from the Deep Ocean to the Coast.”

Responsibilities

• Perform idealized 2D and realistic global 3D HYCOM simulations.
• Investigate and develop parameterizations of internal tide wave drag in HYCOM.
• Collaborate with science partners on the ONR NOPP Topic 3 project.

Qualifications

• PhD in physical oceanography or related field at the time of appointment.
• Experience in numerical modeling and knowledge of internal wave processes in the ocean.
