The successful candidate is expected to lead some of our efforts in this area and also interact closely with other students/postdocs in our group (<a href="http://pedram.rice.edu/team/" class="">http://pedram.rice.edu/team/</a>) who are working on data-driven modeling, geophysical turbulence, and climate dynamics/prediction. This project is supported by a 3-year young investigator award from the Office of Naval Research to Prof. Pedram Hassanzadeh.<br class=""><br class=""><b class="">Minimum qualifications:</b><br class="">- Completed a doctoral degree in applied math, geophysical fluid dynamics, mechanical or civil engineering, atmospheric/climate science, or a related field at the time of the appointment,<br class="">- Strong background in applied math, numerical analysis, and fluid/nonlinear dynamics,<br class="">- Demonstrated effective written and verbal communication skills.<br class=""><br class=""><b class="">Preferred qualifications:</b><br class="">- Experience with machine learning, data-driven modeling, or high-performance computing,<br class="">- Experience with turbulence physics/modeling,<br class="">- Experience working on cross-disciplinary subjects.<br class=""><br class=""><div class=""><span class="">For the research scientist position, at least 3 years of postdoctoral research experience are also required. <br class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class="">The start date is flexible, but the position will become available as soon as August 1, 2020. The contract will be initially for a year and is renewable for up to 3 years based on progress and performance. The salary would commensurate with experience.<br class=""><br class="">If you have any questions, contact Prof. Hassanzadeh (<a href="mailto:pedram@rice.edu" class="">pedram@rice.edu</a>). To apply, send 1) A detailed CV that includes the education/work background, list of publications, and contact information for at least 3 references, and 2) A one-page statement that summarizes your previous research accomplishments and future interests to <a href="mailto:pedram@rice.edu" class="">pedram@rice.edu</a>. <br class=""><br class="">Review of applications will start on June 1, 2020, and the position will remain open until filled.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">
