Postdoctoral Research Associate Position in Oceanography at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA
The Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO) at the University of Washington is currently seeking applications for a postdoctoral position in physical oceanography. The focus of this research is to carry out numerical ocean model forecasts in support of a program aimed at making seasonal forecasts for the marine ecosystem of the Pacific Northwest Coast.
The selected candidate will work with Dr. Nicholas Bond and Dr. Albert Hermann, research scientists at JISAO, and Dr. Isaac Kaplan of NOAA’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center. The position provides an opportunity to work on a relatively new topic, prediction of the marine ecosystem’s response to climate forcing on time horizons of 6-9 months.
A PhD in Oceanography, Atmospheric Science or a related field within the past five years is required. The successful candidate must have demonstrated excellence in scientific research and writing and be committed to working with a highly interdisciplinary team. Experience in numerical modeling of the ocean or atmosphere is required; familiarity with the linkages between physical ocean properties and marine ecosystems is desirable.
Applicants are asked to submit electronically (1) a curriculum vitae, (2) a list of publications, and (3) a list of three references. Closing date is 19 January 2012. Applications should be sent to: Dr. Nicholas Bond, at nab3met@u.washington.edu or to the Joint Institute for Study of Atmosphere and Ocean, Box 355672, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195.
