<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The School of Marine Science and Policy (SMSP) seeks to hire a tenure-track coastal physical oceanographer with research interests in estuaries, continental shelves, or the interface between coastal and open
oceans. We seek candidates with research interests from any area of coastal physical oceanography, including a broad set of processes and varying scales: turbulence and mixing, meso- and submesoscale dynamics, boundary layers, shelf-wide circulation and property
budgets, and the impact of climate on the coastal ocean, among others. Applications of candidates that integrate field observations, theory, or numerical modeling are welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">SMSP offers an interdisciplinary environment with graduate programs in Physical Ocean Science & Engineering, Oceanography, Marine Biosciences, and Marine Policy, and an undergraduate program in Marine Science,
with concentrations in Oceanography and Marine Biosciences. We expect the candidate to be highly collaborative across our existing physical, chemical, geological, biological, and marine policy disciplines. SMSP is situated on the main campus in Newark and
the coastal campus in Lewes, which together offer convenient access to state-of-the-art marine research facilities as well as coastal and estuarine environments in the Mid-Atlantic region.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
