Post Doctoral Associate in Physical Oceanography
Core
Conduct scientific research on large-scale circulation of the North Atlantic Ocean, specifically investigating AMOC latitudinal connectivity and SWOT satellite altimetry as a proxy for boundary current structure.
Role type
Postdoctoral Associate in Physical Oceanography
Builds
Scientific research outputs, research reports, technical papers, and novel methodologies for ocean observation arrays.

research
Required skills
Numerical ocean modeling, In situ mooring data analysis, Satellite altimetry data processing, Machine learning for geophysical data, AMOC observing system knowledge
Preferred skills
Experience with RAPID, MOCHA, OSNAP, or MOVE arrays
Technologies
Numerical ocean models, SWOT satellite data, High-performance computing
Responsibilities
Investigate mechanisms driving coherence or incoherence of AMOC signals across latitudes using numerical models and observational time series; Develop novel methodologies to reconstruct boundary current velocity structures using SWOT swath data validated against in situ observations; Collaborate with PIs on multi-institutional research projects; Participate in oceanographic cruises (RAPID-MOCHA, OSNAP).
