Postdoctoral Research Position in Computational Ocean Dynamics - Johns Hopkins University

Overview Postdoctoral Research Position in Computational Ocean Dynamics – Johns Hopkins University The Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences, Johns Hopkins University, invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate or assistant research scientist. The successful candidate will join a team designing, computing, disseminating, and analyzing cutting edge global ocean circulation model solutions. The research aims to advance knowledge of the role of small-scale processes on the large-scale general circulation of the ocean, and in high Reynolds number rotating stratified fluids in general. It will build parameterizations of the effects of these small-scale processes for use in coarser-scale models, such as coupled climate models, and develop software to handle petabyte- to exabyte-scale datasets for non-specialist users. Further information about relevant research may be found at: Responsibilities Contribute to designing, computing, disseminating, and analyzing global ocean circulation model solutions. Develop parameterizations of small-scale processes for use in coarser-scale models (e.g., coupled climate models). Design and implement a software framework for petabyte- to exabyte-scale datasets and enable access for non-specialist users. Qualifications Ph.D. in dynamical or physical oceanography, or related field. Creative, independent thinker with strong interest in ocean circulation, numerical ocean models, and high performance computing. Knowledge in one or more of the following areas is advantageous: ocean circulation and dynamics, numerical ocean models, high performance computing. Start date is negotiable; completion of the Ph.D. is required. The appointment may extend up to three years. Appointees will receive a competitive salary and benefits and will be eligible to participate in Johns Hopkins University health plans. Application Process Applications should be submitted electronically through Interfolio at by December 16, 2018 to receive full consideration. They should include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, plus three confidential reference letters. Johns Hopkins University is an equal opportunities/affirmative action employer. Under-represented minorities are particularly encouraged to apply. Note This posting includes a historical deadline and may reflect a closed posting.
