Job Summary
The Physical Oceanography Department at the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution (http://www.whoi.edu/main/PO <http://www.whoi.edu/main/PO>)
invites applications for a tenure track position on our scientific
staff. We seek applicants with expertise in a broad area of climate
dynamics that would complement the existing strengths in the PO
department regardless of approach (observational, modeling, theory,
laboratory). Possible areas include, but are not limited to, atmospheric
dynamics, coupled ocean-atmosphere dynamics, hydroclimatology, and the
roles of land and the cryosphere in climate. Individuals with expertise
in interdisciplinary and/or societally relevant research in the fields
of climate dynamics, climate extremes, climate impacts, and/or climate
risk assessment are encouraged to apply. We expect to hire at the
Assistant Scientist level, but exceptional candidates at more senior
levels may be considered.
The successful candidate will join a collaborative group of scientists
who address a wide range of fundamental problems in ocean and climate
physics, including interdisciplinary research questions, using
observations, theory, numerical modeling, and laboratory
experimentation. A world-class technical staff supports the use of a
broad mix of traditional and innovative instruments and observational
techniques to make measurements on all scales from microstructure up to
global, and in all ocean domains including open-ocean and coastal
regions. They also have the option of advising graduate students and
teaching courses through the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in
Oceanography/Applied Ocean Science and Engineering.
