Posting this for my colleague. Please send resumes to yalin....@us.navy.mil if interested.

The Naval Research Laboratory at Stennis Space Center, MS (NRL-SSC) invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to advance our understanding of multiscale ocean processes, including boundary layer turbulence, submesoscale dynamics, and internal waves. The successful candidate will investigate how these processes interact to influence ocean mixing and circulation, and will contribute to the improvement of their representation in state-of-the-art ocean circulation models.

This position offers opportunities to work with state-of-the-art numerical models, theoretical frameworks, and observational datasets to improve the physical understanding and parameterization of these processes in ocean circulation models.

The selected candidate should have a strong background in physical oceanography or fluid dynamics. Expertise in one or more of the following areas is highly desirable: oceanic turbulence, submesoscale dynamics, or internal wave processes. Experience with numerical modeling and programming in Fortran, Python, or MATLAB is a plus.

NRL-SSC provides an opportunity to work with a large group of internationally recognized oceanographers highly skilled in numerical modeling, observations, and data analysis.  The postdoc will have first-hand access to field measurements of turbulence, as well as major supercomputing sites in addition to excellent local computer resources.

Annual postdoctoral salary is $88,600. Applicants must be a US citizen or US permanent residents at time of application.
