About this position

Postdoctoral Associate opportunity in Physical Oceanography at the University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, in Miami, Florida, United States.

The project focuses on large-scale ocean circulation in the North Atlantic, especially the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), using the RAPID-MOCHA and OSNAP observational arrays. The successful candidate can help shape the research direction, with possible topics including AMOC latitudinal connectivity and coherence, boundary current dynamics, numerical ocean modeling, SWOT satellite altimetry, mooring observations, and machine learning approaches for geophysical data.

The position is based at the Rosenstiel School and is funded jointly through the NSF-funded MOCHA and OSNAP projects. The initial appointment is for one year, with possible renewal for a second year based on performance. Flexible remote work and research visits to the University of Maine may be possible.

Eligibility highlights: Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography, Atmospheric Sciences, or a closely related field by the start date; strong analytical and quantitative skills; interest in ocean circulation and/or climate dynamics; ability to work independently and in a collaborative multi-institutional team. Preferred experience includes numerical models, mooring data, satellite altimetry, SWOT, machine learning, and familiarity with AMOC observing systems.

How to apply: Submit a cover letter, CV with publications, and three professional references through the Workday application link. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until filled.
