[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc in ocean process modeling and theory at Stanford University

[Leif Thomas]

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to bring to your attention the following postdoctoral 
opportunity. Please distribute to interested parties.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher in ocean process 
modeling and theory to work with Prof. Leif Thomas in the Department of 
Earth System Science at Stanford University. The successful candidate 
will pursue research in the dynamics of submesoscale processes and 
inertia-gravity wave-mean flow interactions at ocean fronts and their 
impact on generating small-scale turbulence.  The research is part of 
the Submesoscales Under Near-Resonant Inertial Shear Experiment 
(SUNRISE), a multi-institution collaborative project, and will involve a 
combination of theory, numerical modeling, and analysis of 
submesoscale-resolving observations from an ongoing field campaign in 
the Northern Gulf of Mexico.  A strong background in geophysical fluid 
dynamics with application to the ocean or atmosphere and knowledge in 
numerical modeling is required.

Evaluation of applications will begin July 1st, 2019 and will continue 
until the position is filled. The start date is flexible (ideally be 
between Fall 2019 and Winter 2020), but completion of the PhD is 
required.  The initial appointment is for one year and renewable for one 
additional year, subject to satisfactory performance. Applications 
should be sent by email to leift at stanford.edu and include a CV, brief 
statement of research interests, experience, and future career plans, 
and the names and contact information of three or more references.

Stanford is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants 
will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, 
sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, 
veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
