The Departments of Earth & Planetary Sciences and Applied
Mathematics and
Statistics, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Johns</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Hopkins</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>,
invite applications for one, or more, postdoctoral research associates.
The
successful candidate(s) will participate in federally-funded projects
to
explore and apply ocean circulation modeling and/or data assimilation
to the <st1:place w:st="on">Atlantic ocean</st1:place>. The projects
are collaborative ventures
with the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins. Further
information about
our recent research in this area can be found at: <a
href="http://www.jhu.edu/%7Ethaine1/">http://www.jhu.edu/~thaine1/</a>.<br>
<br>
The ideal candidate will be a creative independent individual with a
Ph.D. in
physical oceanography and interests in applied mathematics, or vice
versa, but
applicants in related fields will also be closely considered. Knowledge
in at
least one of the following areas is advantageous: <st1:place w:st="on">Atlantic
ocean</st1:place> circulation, numerical general circulation models,
data
assimilation, geophysical fluid dynamics, ocean biogeochemistry, and
tracer
transport. The start date is negotiable, but completion of the Ph.D. is
required. The appointment(s) will last up to three years. The position
carries
a competitive salary and benefits, and eligibility to participate in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Johns</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName
