[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc Position in Ocean Process Modeling and Theory at Stanford University

[Leif Thomas]

POSTDOC POSITION IN OCEAN PROCESS MODELING AND THEORY

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. A strong background in 
fluid dynamics with application to the ocean or atmosphere and expertise 
in numerical modeling is required.

The successful candidate will pursue research to study the seasonal 
cycle of submesoscale turbulence in the subtropical gyres and/or the 
interaction of wind-driven inertial motions with eddies and fronts.The 
main objective of the research is to improve our understanding of how 
submesoscale processes and wave-mean flow interactions transfer energy 
between mesoscale flows and small-scale turbulence and how this varies 
seasonally. The research is part of multi-institution collaborative 
projects, and will involve a combination of theory, numerical modeling, 
simulations to design observational field campaigns, and analysis of 
submesoscale-resolving observations.

Evaluation of applications will begin immediately and will continue 
until the position is filled. The start date is flexible (ideally 
between Fall 2021 and Spring 2022), but completion of the PhD is 
required. However, candidates who have held postdoctoral appointments 
for more than four years are not eligible. The initial appointment is 
for one year and renewable for up to one additional year, subject to 
satisfactory performance and funding availability. Salary is 
commensurate with experience and a full benefits package is available 
(https://postdocbenefits.stanford.edu/benefit-options 
<https://postdocbenefits.stanford.edu/benefit-options>). Stanford 
postdoctoral scholars are expected to be on campus regularly, therefore 
remote appointments will not be considered. Inquiries and applications 
should be sent by email to leift at stanford.edu 
<mailto:leift at stanford.edu>. Applications should include a CV (with a 
list of publications), 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.
