Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Physical Oceanography in Department of Oceanography, Dalhousie University

Applicants must hold a PhD in Physical Oceanography or a closely related discipline, and have a strong record of research excellence.  The applicants' research should address ocean dynamics on a range of temporal and spatial scales, and it should complement the existing research activities by physical oceanography faculty in the Department, e.g., ocean models and observational analyses, shelf and deep ocean circulation, nearshore processes, air-sea interactions, climate variability, ocean acoustics, and mixing.  Interests in cross-disciplinary oceanographic research are an asset. Application reviews start June 4.  Full details here.
 

University of NSW (Sydney) - Postdoc position in Physical Oceanography / Shelf Circulation Dynamics

The Coastal and Regional Oceanography Group in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW Australia (www.oceanography.unsw.edu.au) is looking for a postdoctoral level physical oceanographer. The role involves research into the dynamics and prediction of the East Australian Current as part of a project funded by Australian Research Council Linkage Grant. The objective of the postdoc is to contribute to understanding the dynamics of continental shelf circulation along the coast of SE Australia, and the influence of the western boundary current on shelf processes using modern observations including data from HF radar, moorings and autonomous gliders and a suite of data assimilating models. This position is available for two years beginning mid 2018 or sooner, with a starting salary of ~ AU$90,000 dependent upon experience.  Applicants should apply at the UNSW HR website online here, being sure to address the selection criteria.   http://external-careers.jobs.unsw.edu.au/cw/en/job/492861/postdoctoral-fellow. Closing date: May 28.
 

Columbia University, NY. Postdoc Research Scientist (2 positions – Physical Oceanography and Atmospheric Science)

Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and the Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science each seek outstanding candidates for a new initiative. The venture is aimed at launching a major effort to apply deep learning techniques to improve sub-grid physical parameterizations in climate models. The selected Postdoctoral Research Scientists are crucial to the success of this initiative that allows newly minted PhD researchers to benefit from multiple perspectives and specialties. Each successful candidate will preferably combine expertise in fundamental geophysical fluid dynamics and numerical modelling with new statistical inference methods. Each of the two positions will have a distinct focus, but the Postdoctoral Research Scientists will be expected to work collaboratively. The Postdoctoral Research Scientist with atmospheric science and the Postdoctoral Research Scientist with physical oceanography will use their differing, yet connected research fields to further the findings of deep learning techniques to improve sub-grid physical parameterizations in climate models. Both teams will interact remotely frequently to exploit commonalities in methodology.

Physical Oceanography:  The Postdoctoral Research Scientist in physical oceanography will be primarily responsible for investigating parameterization of ocean mesoscale and submesoscale turbulent transport and air-sea interaction. This position is based at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and supervised by Prof. Ryan Abernathey. More details for this position here.

Atmospheric Science: The Postdoctoral Research Scientist in atmospheric science will be primarily responsible for investigating parameterization of atmospheric convection and cloud-radiation interaction. The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will be supervised by Prof. Pierre Gentine in the Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering at Columbia University. More details for this position here.
