Teaching responsibilities include courses in physical oceanography; in quantitative methods such as time series analysis, statistical models, programming; and in specific areas of expertise. The candidate is expected to establish and maintain a vigorous extramurally funded research program involving MS students.

Candidates are expected to attend and assist with laboratory-sponsored events, and to lend support during promotional events (Open House, fundraising, etc.).
