<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Cambria">Dear all,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Cambria">I am seeking one or two motivated doctoral students
to join my ocean/climate modeling group at UPenn. Possible scientific
research directions include: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Cambria">- The role of the Southern Ocean physics in
the global energy and carbon budgets.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Cambria">- Impact of climate change on ocean physics,
biogeochemistry (nutrients, carbon, oxygen) and ecology. How do changes in
ocean physics, ecology and chemistry affect the sink for atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub>
and how will decadal to millenial changes in that sink affect in turn
climate?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Cambria">- Development of theoretical understanding
on what controls the oceanic sink for atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Cambria">- Ecological modeling: Including evolutionary concepts and
functional traits into ecological models and coupling them to comprehensive
global climate models. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Cambria">- Satellite data analysis of ocean physics and biology<br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Cambria"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Cambria">Applicants must be self-motivated and hard
working, with good written and verbal communication skills. A strong
background in either physics, chemistry, oceanography, or atmospheric science
is ideal. Past programming experience under the Linux environment (especially
programming in Fortran and Matlab) is highly desirable. </span></p>

the graduate program in the Earth and Environmental Science Department are due December 15th. Please include in your application a CV, transcripts, general
GRE scores, writing samples, and an essay detailing your specific interests in
this field, as well as your relevant science and computational experience. </span></p>
