Job description
Overview
Satellite Oceanography at the Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington
The Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) at the University of Washington (UW) invites applications to a research position for a Scientist using satellite observations to study the ocean and atmosphere-ocean coupling. The successful candidate will be a permanent Professional Staff member at APL ( and will undertake research in the Air-Sea Interaction and Remote Sensing (AIRS) Department at APL ( with opportunities for collaboration in APL’s Ocean Physics Department and Polar Science Center and the UW School of Oceanography. The initial research project will be in collaboration with Prof. Kathryn A. Kelly investigating the relationships between ocean circulation and air-sea interaction.
Responsibilities
Conduct research using satellite observations to study the ocean and air-sea coupling.
Collaborate with AIRS Department and other APL and UW programs on related topics such as ocean circulation and air-sea-ice interactions.
Contribute to development of an independent, well-funded research program.
Engage in ongoing research projects with opportunities for cross-department collaboration.
Qualifications
PhD in Oceanography or a closely related discipline.
Demonstrated research record and potential to develop an independent, well-funded program.
Recent PhD graduates or candidates who have completed their postdoctoral research; exceptional candidates without postdoctoral experience may be considered at the postdoctoral level.
Areas of interest include study of ocean circulation (coastal and high-latitude) and air-sea-ice interactions using observations from satellite altimetry, vector winds, sea surface temperature, salinity, gravity, or other sensors.
Funding and Term
Initial support over a nominal 2-year period will come from current projects and start-up funds. Thereafter, support is to be provided by grant-funded research.
