[ES_JOBS_NET] [ES-jobs] Job Opportunity: Postdoc of wave/hydrodynamic modeling or observational data analysis in Chinese Academy of Science

[Mao, Miaohua]

*Postdoctoral research associate in Hydrodynamic Modeling or observation
and data analysis of coastal zone*



*What You Will Do*

Miaohua Mao’s numerical modeling team seeks applicants with expertise in
the numerical modeling or observation and data analysis of the coastal,
estuarine, and lake hydrodynamics. The successful candidate will work on
the parameterizations and physical explanations of plume dynamics, wave
dynamics, storm surge, circulation, and sediment transport dynamics or
further setting up and developing the observational system in the coastal
zone such as the Bohai Sea, China. Outcomes from this work will be
presented at the national and international conferences and published in
the peer-reviewed journals.



*What You Need*

*Desired Skills:* The successful candidates should have experience in the
ocean modeling, fluid dynamics, or coastal observation and data analysis.
The candidate will also need the skill in the data analysis and/or
visualization (e.g., Matlab), and be familiar with the Linux system,
Fortran and C++ codes. The experience in the model calibration and
validation against observational data is preferred. The ability to work in
a highly cooperative team is also a requirement. *The experience of the
publications in the peer-reviewed journals is highly encouraged, *such as
those ranking at least Quartile 3 based on the Chinese Academy of Sciences
journal ranking system.

*Education: *A Ph.D. degree in the marine/ocean science, physical
oceanography, fluid dynamics, geophysics, mathematics, earth science, or
related fields.



*Where You Will Work*

Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences is
located at the beautiful coastal city of Yantai, Shandong Province, China.
The successful candidate will be provided an office together with other
researchers at Yantai, while he/she could visit the University of Maryland
Eastern Shore numerical modeling group in Maryland, USA. The numerical
simulations will be conducted via the remotely connected supercomputer
system. The postdoc position is 2 years.



*Application Procedure*

Before a formal application, the applicants are encouraged to send a brief
description of your research interest/area and an updated CV to Miaohua Mao
(http://ir.yic.ac.cn/profile/mhmao) at *mhmao at yic.ac.cn <mhmao at yic.ac.cn>*
ASAP.



*Location:* Yantai, China.



*Organization Name:* Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research (YIC),
Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).



*Job Title:* Hydrodynamic modeling or observation and data analysis postdoc



*Appointment Type:* Postdoc.



*Salary:* Up to 45 k U.S. dollars/year (~300 k RMB) plus benefit + free
accommodation in the faculty building of the Institution.



*Introduction of the current group:* Dr. Miaohua Mao got his BS in Zhejiang
University, and achieved PhD degree at University of Maryland Eastern Shore
in 2018. Dr. Mao works at Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research (YIC),
Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) as an Associate Research Scientist since
2019. His research interests include but are not limited to nearshore
hydrodynamics, numerical modeling and observation of wave-current
interaction. Dr. Mao lead 3 publications in the prestigious journals
including *JGR: Oceans* and *Ocean Modelling *and presented nearly 20 times
at the international academic conferences. Dr. Mao is a reviewer of
peer-reviewed journals such as *Progress in Oceanography,* *Estuarine,
Coastal and Shelf Science* (ECSS), *Ocean Dynamics*, and award as the
outstanding contribution in reviewing ECSS of year 2018.



*The numerical modelling team* is an international team, which includes the
full time Associate Research Scientist, Visiting Professor from US,
Visiting Scholar from Shenzhen University (Assistant Professor), full time
Assistant Research Scientist from India. This team has recruited fresh
graduate students from Vietnam National University (CAS full scholarship)
and two domestic graduate students (one ranks 1st in the graduate admission
test and one from the Ocean University of China). The disciplines of the
team members involve atmospheric science, physical oceanography and
hydrology, and their research interests focus on the observational data
analysis and numerical modelling. This is a vigorous team with the guidance
and help from the experienced US Visiting Professor, we hope excellent
postdoc to join this group.
