The Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program at Princeton University, in association with NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), seeks a postdoctoral researcher or more senior position to investigate the physics of ocean interactions with ice shelves and icebergs using numerical models.
Research questions include the role of large calving events in the climate system, influence of ice-ocean interactions on properties of water formation, importance of icebergs representation in climate models, etc. The models are designed for climate studies which provide the overarching context for the research.
The prospective candidate should have a strong background in one or more areas among physical oceanography, numerical methods, glaciology, sea-ice dynamics, and geophysical fluid dynamics. Experience with developing numerical models will be advantageous in this research.
Ph.D. required in either applied mathematics, physics, oceanography, cryosphere, or a related field. Initial appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal subject to satisfactory performance and available funding.
Complete applications, including a CV, a statement of research interests, and contact information of 3 references should be submitted by November 1st, 2018 11:59 P.M. EST for full consideration. Applicants must be submitted online to this link.
This position is subject to the University’s background check policy.
