5. Applying downscaled global climate models to improve marine resource management U.S. Northeast Shelf

Applying downscaled global climate models to improve marine resource management on the U.S. Northeast Shelf

The Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program at Princeton University in cooperation with NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), National Ocean Service (NOS) National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) and the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC), seeks a postdoctoral or more senior research associate to develop predictions and projections of the response of coastal habitats and living marine resources (i.e. fish, corals, submerged aquatic vegetation, sea turtles, seabirds, mammals) to climate variability and change using downscaled global climate models for the U.S. Northeast Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem (U.S. NES LME).

PhD is required. Candidates with quantitative, interdisciplinary knowledge from subsets of fields including marine ecology/fisheries ecology, oceanography, geospatial modeling, and climate science are encouraged to apply. Experience conducting statistically rigorous uncertainty assessments, conducting spatio-temporal analyses of large data sets and/or model output, and developing habitat and/or population models for marine resources is highly desirable.

6. Postdoctoral Scholar

The Marine Physical Laboratory (MPL) at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar Employee in the research group led by Professor Ken Melville. The primary area of research is air-sea interaction, including the topics of surface wave dynamics, air-sea fluxes, upper ocean turbulence, including Langmuir circulations, and the remote sensing of ocean surface phenomena using electromagnetic and acoustic techniques. Many of these processes and phenomena are influenced directly by surface wave breaking. Another area of research is in theoretical and numerical modeling of nonlinear wave phenomena.

Qualifications

• Recent PhD in Physical Oceanography or related field including engineering

• Strong background in fluid mechanics is required

Terms of Appointment

• The initial full-time appointment is for one year, with the expectation of renewal based on performance.
