| Internal Job Number: P02734UF Description: The College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences invites applications for a full-time 1.00 FTE, 12-month, fixed term Research Associate (Post Doc) position. Reappointment is at the discretion of the Dean. The Research Associate (Post Doc) will conduct research on small-scale turbulent processes in the ocean and analyze their impact on larger-scale currents. Direct numerical simulation will be the primary research tool, but the Research Associate (Post Doc) will also analyze observational data and will have the opportunity to take part in research cruises. This research is part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) project to understand shear-driven turbulence in stratified fluids. The Research Associate (Post Doc) will work as part of the Ocean Mixing Group with the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS) at Oregon State University (OSU), located in Corvallis, Oregon. The Research Associate (Post Doc) will be granted access to NSF-funded high-performance computing facilities as part of this appointment. The College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences is an internationally recognized leader in the study of the Earth as an integrated system. It operates numerous state-of-the art laboratories and three oceanographic research vessels, the 177-foot ocean-going Oceanus, the 84-foot coastal research vessel Pacific Storm, and the 54-foot coastal research vessel Elakha. The College has an annual budget of more than $50 million, with support coming from the National Science Foundation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and other federal agencies. It has more than 100 faculty, 200 graduate students and 600 undergraduate students. Graduate programs include M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences; Geology; and Geography and a M.S. degree in Marine Resource Management. The college has undergraduate programs in Earth Sciences and Environmental Sciences, with several minors and certificate programs. Minimum Qualifications (Staff) / Guidelines (Faculty): Requires PhD or terminal degree and experience in the academic discipline/unit. Requirements : PhD in physics, physical oceanography, or a related field involving fluid turbulence. Experience in computational fluid dynamics. Knowledge of Fortran programming. Experience with mathematical and plotting software environment, e.g. Matlab. Strong written and oral communication skills. Demonstrated ability to complete and publish a research project. Type: Most of the work will involve a typical office environment and schedule. Participation on research cruises is desirable but not mandatory. Additional Salary Information: $52,000-$58,000 |
