The School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (SFOS) at the University of
Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) in Fairbanks, Alaska, invites applications for a
postdoctoral research assistant to work with the Ice-Covered Ocean
Response to Atmospheric Storms (ICORTAS) project.
The successful candidate will conduct numerical modeling of relevant
ice-ocean dynamics, guided by the ICORTAS field data, which includes
measurements of upper ocean sea-ice drift and deformation, current
structure, and remote sensing products. Scientific goals are to
investigate:
- the high-frequency, near-inertial response of the coupled
ice-ocean system to strong atmospheric forcing; and
- the shoaling and dissipation of near-inertial wave groups as they
reach the continental shelf break.
By the time of hire, applicants must possess a PhD in physical
oceanography or a related field from an accredited university, and have
a strong research and publication record appropriate to their experience
and date of degree. To apply, please click on the 'Create Application'
