[Grad-postdoc-assn] Postdoctoral opportunities at Scripps Institution of Oceanography

[Scott Briggs]

FYI

> Postdoctoral positions in sea ice and climate dynamics at Scripps 
> Institution of Oceanography
>
> One or more postdoctoral positions in sea ice and climate dynamics are 
> available at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of 
> California at San Diego. Applications are invited from candidates with 
> a recent or expected Ph.D. in atmospheric dynamics, physical 
> oceanography, climate science, applied mathematics, or a related 
> field. Strong mathematical skills and experience with climate models 
> is desirable.
>
> Successful applicants will be involved in research projects related to 
> the observed expansion of the Southern Ocean sea ice cover during 
> recent decades, the possibility of bifurcations during the evolution 
> of the sea ice cover at either pole, methods to reduce the uncertainty 
> in projections of Arctic sea ice retreat during the coming century, 
> etc. The research will make use of mathematical and physical analyses 
> of idealized models of the atmosphere-ocean-sea ice system and more 
> comprehensive climate models, as well as drawing on observations. See 
> http://eisenman.ucsd.edu for further details about the group, which 
> also conducts research in paleoclimate and large-scale 
> atmosphere/ocean circulations.
>
> The duration of the position is expected to be two years, contingent 
> on progress during the first year and availability of funds. 
> Interested candidates are welcome to contact Ian Eisenman 
> (eisenman at ucsd.edu <mailto:eisenman at ucsd.edu>) with any questions. 
> Applicants should email a curriculum vitae, contact information for 
> three references, and a brief description of research interests to 
> eisenman at ucsd.edu <mailto:eisenman at ucsd.edu>. Applications will be 
> reviewed until the positions are filled.
>
> UCSD is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer with a strong 
> institutional commitment to excellence through diversity.
