Post-doc Position
Modeling/Data Assimilation
Naval Research Laboratory Stennis Space Center, Mississippi
The Naval Research Laboratory at Stennis Space Center, MS (NRL-SSC) is seeking applications for
postdoctoral candidates in physical oceanography. The focus will be on investigating the properties and
performing numerical experimentation with the data assimilation systems for the Navy Ocean Coastal Model
(NCOM). The work requires excellent programming skills (Fortran, Unix scripting) and numerical modeling
experience. Understanding of the data assimilation algorithms will be a plus. Basin-scale version of the NCOM
model and its adjoint will be utilized extensively.
NRL-SSC provides an opportunity to work with a large group of internationally recognized physical
oceanography researchers and access to supercomputing and general computational resources in addition to
extensive historical and real-time regional and global data sources. To learn more about the Ocean Dynamics
and Prediction branch’s other research projects, visit http://www7320.nrlssc.navy.mil/projects.php
A postdoctoral fellow will be hired with a stipend of ~$73K through the National Research Council Research
Associateship Programs (http://sites.nationalacademies.org/pga/rap) or American Society for Engineering
Education Naval Postdoctoral Programs (www.asee.org/nrl). Applicant must be a U.S. citizen or permanent
resident at time of application. NRL is an equal opportunity employer.
