[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc position in physical oceanography at New York Univerisity - NASA SWOT research

[Shafer Smith]

Seeking Expression of Interest from junior scientists with expertise in
physical oceanography, data-driven methods, and high-resolution numerical
modeling. This opportunity is for a postdoctoral position at New York
University, supervised by Shafer Smith (Professor of Mathematics and
Atmosphere Ocean Science at the Courant Institute).

The postdoc will join a small multi-institutional team that includes
Spencer Jones (Professor of Oceanography at Texas A&M University) and Dhruv
Balwada (Research Professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory),
conducting research as part of the NASA Surface Water and Ocean Topography
(SWOT) Science Team.  The SWOT satellite, launched in December 2022, is
providing new swath-based altimetric observations of sea surface height.
The overall goal of our project is to develop new data-driven methods,
leveraging ocean dynamics together with machine learning, for inferring
subsurface ocean transport from SWOT data. The postdoctoral scientist will
use high-resolution global numerical simulations (MITgcm LLC4320) to
develop and test methods for reconstructing lateral and vertical transport
from SSH, and then apply these methods to the real SWOT data.

The position is for 1 year, with the possibility of renewal for up to 3
years, based on an annual performance review. The position is available
immediately.

In compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range
for this position is $66,000 to $76,000. New York University considers
factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the
terms of the research grant when extending an offer.
