UCLA Oceanic Modeler Position

#1 Unread post by robertson »

UCLA OCEANIC MODELER

Applications are invited for a researcher position in oceanic modeling in the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at UCLA. The level of appointment will be negotiated commensurate with professional experience. Candidates must practice oceanic dynamical theory and modeling at least at the level of a PhD. The scope of the job includes both investigation of fundamental processes and realistic simulation of regional and basin circulations. Examples of likely process studies are evolution of wakes behind islands and headlands; interaction of surface waves and currents; and mechanisms of diapycnal mixing and dissipation in coastal regions. The simulation studies will be done collaboratively using the innovative Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS) that includes circulation, tides, ecosystem, biogeochemistry, sediments, and associated data assimilation capabilities; the primary focus is the North American West Coast and several of its local subregions, embedded within the Pacific basin circulation and climate variability.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, short statement of research interests, publications and at least three names of individuals familiar with the applicant's work.

Applications should be sent to:
Professor James C. McWilliams
IGPP, UCLA
Los Angeles, CA 90095-1567
jcm@atmos.ucla.edu

if submitted by 15 August 2003, they will receive full consideration. UCLA is an EO/AA employer, women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
