About this position
Postdoctoral opportunity in Physical Oceanography at the University of Miami
The Department of Ocean Sciences at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science is inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Associate in Physical Oceanography based in Miami, Florida, United States. The project focuses on the large-scale circulation of the North Atlantic Ocean and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), with research at the intersection of the RAPID-MOCHA and OSNAP observational arrays.
The successful candidate can help shape their own research agenda. Possible topics include AMOC latitudinal connectivity and coherence using numerical ocean models and observational time series, and SWOT satellite altimetry as a proxy for boundary current structure, potentially including machine learning methods and validation against mooring observations.
The appointment is initially for one year and may be renewed for another year based on performance. Funding is provided jointly through the NSF-funded MOCHA and OSNAP projects. The role offers access to model outputs and high-performance computing resources at the University of Miami, with flexible remote work and possible extended research visits to the University of Maine.
Eligibility highlights: Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography, Atmospheric Sciences, or a closely related field by the start date; strong analytical and quantitative skills; demonstrated interest in large-scale ocean circulation and/or climate dynamics; ability to work independently and collaboratively. Preferred experience includes numerical ocean models, mooring observations, oceanographic data analysis, SWOT altimetry, machine learning/AI, and familiarity with AMOC observing systems.
Application: Submit a cover letter, CV with publications, and contact information for three professional references. Review is rolling until filled, so early application is recommended.
Contacts: Dr. Shane Elipot (University of Miami) and Dr. Tiago Bilo (University of Maine; [email protected]).
Funding details
The position is funded jointly through the NSF-funded MOCHA and OSNAP projects. It is a postdoctoral associate appointment for one year, subject to renewal for a second year based on performance.
What's required
Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography, Atmospheric Sciences, or a closely related field must be conferred by the start date. Applicants should have strong analytical and quantitative skills, demonstrated interest in large-scale ocean circulation and/or climate dynamics, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multi-institutional team. Desired qualifications include experience with numerical ocean models, in situ mooring observations and/or oceanographic data analysis, satellite altimetry including SWOT swath data, machine learning or AI techniques applied to geophysical data, and familiarity with AMOC observing systems such as RAPID, MOCHA, OSNAP, or MOVE arrays.
How to apply
Submit a cover letter describing your research experience, interests, and fit for the position, a full CV including publications, and contact information for three professional references. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until filled; early applications are encouraged.
