[Margetta, Matthew]

Please apply at: http://apply.interfolio.com/95128

*Discipline: *Earth Science
*Position Term Length: *24 months
*Anticipated Start Date: *Jan 1, 2022
*Salary Range or Pay Grade: *$62,500

*Position Description*

A Postdoctoral Research Associate is sought to join Brown University at the
Institute at Brown for Environment and Society (IBES) to work on the Scale
Aware Sea Ice Project, which has the overall aim to understand and model
polar change.  The selected scientist will join a cohort of polar
oceanographers and polar scientists.  A successful applicant will design
and evaluate new parameterizations of ocean and wave-driven mixing in
oceans under sea ice, using continuum climate models, discrete element sea
ice models, and high-resolution large-eddy simulations.

The position will be directly supported by a broad team, including a
research scientist at Brown's Center for Computation and Visualization, a
second postdoctoral researcher at Brown, and project collaborators in
Norway, France, and New Zealand. The applicant selected will have leeway
for scientific exploration and self-directed research, especially with
collaborators within IBES and elsewhere in other units at Brown.The
position salary is $62,500 for two years, with the possibility of
extension. Hosting or traveling to research visits will be supported,
though not required, and remote or flexible working arrangements may be
possible depending on your state of residence. The proposed start date is
1/1/22, though there is some flexibility for later start dates.
Significant additional research, computing, and travel support is available
to facilitate this work, along with relocation support.

Brown University.  Accordingly, IBES seeks qualified candidates who can

are encouraged to apply.

*Qualifications*

   - A PhD in Earth/Climate Science/Applied Mathematics/related fields, or
   relevant work experience.
   - An open mind, with an interest in multi-scale climate modeling and
   polar climate.
   - Experience with running climate or process models and
   analysing/interpreting model and observational data.
   - Knowledge of ocean mixing parameterizations, coupled air-sea-ice
   processes, and experience with CESM or NEMO modeling frameworks a plus.
   - IBES is interested in qualified candidates who have demonstrated
   commitment to excellence by providing leadership in teaching, research or
   service toward building an equitable and diverse scholarly environment.
