<p class="MsoNormal">POSTDOC POSITION IN OCEAN PROCESS MODELING AND
THEORY</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Applications are invited for a postdoctoral
researcher in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">ocean
process modeling and theory</b> 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.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>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. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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 (<a
href="https://postdocbenefits.stanford.edu/benefit-options">https://postdocbenefits.stanford.edu/benefit-options</a>).
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 <a href="mailto:leift@stanford.edu">leift@stanford.edu</a>.
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. </p>
