Job description
University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory Research Associate Position
Salary: 50,400.00 – 51,600.00
Type: Full Time – Student/Graduate/Internship
Overview
The University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) seeks a recent Ph.D. in physical oceanography to study internal waves, mixing and rotating hydraulics in the energetic abyssal flows of the Samoan Passage. The research will include detailed observations from profiling moorings, lowered CTD/Doppler profilers and turbulence profilers in two cruises (March 2012 and September 2013), as well as numerical modeling of regional-scale flows and small-scale processes within the Passage. The work is funded by the National Science Foundation with Profs. Matthew Alford and James Girton as Principal Investigators. The initial appointment will extend for one year with a potential second and third year granted with satisfactory progress.
Responsibilities
Participate in two research cruises; assist in cruise planning and data collection.
Analyze the observations and synthesize them with the model output.
Depending on interest and skills, participate in running the models (MITgcm and POM).
Coordinate with modeling and turbulence work by Prof. Glenn Carter.
Qualifications
Ph.D. in physical oceanography.
Proven ability to work at sea, sometimes under adverse conditions.
Desirable familiarity with current practice in studying the internal tide, internal waves, hydraulically controlled flows and mixing.
Working knowledge of MATLAB; ability to take the lead in analyzing observations.
Education
Required Education: Doctorate
Notes
International Candidates Will Be Considered.
