Postdoctoral Associate (Changing Ecosystems and Fisheries Initiatives)

About the role

The Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) of the University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric & Earth Science (RSMAS) has an exciting opportunity for a Post-Doctoral researcher.

Responsibilities

• Conduct simulations under future climate scenarios, incorporating diagnostics relevant to providing actionable information to decision makers.
• Investigate mechanisms and processes underlying ocean change, and quantify the range of potential physical and biogeochemical responses.
• Explore impacts on climate, oceans, coasts, and marine ecosystems using outputs from numerical simulations.
• Present findings at scientific meetings and publish results in peer-reviewed journals.
• Active participation in scientific discussions with colleagues and in MOM6 and CEFI working groups or forums.

Requirements

• Ph.D. in oceanography or a related field, and a background in ocean biogeochemical research at the post-doctoral level.
• Experience with ocean or ocean biogeochemistry modeling, running climate model simulations on High Performance Computing.
• Experience analyzing and organizing large datasets or model outputs.
• Knowledge of Unix/Linux, and experience with commonly used software and protocols in the oceanographic community including MatLab, Ferret, and/or Python.
• A proven publication record, strong scientific writing and computer skills, and the ability to communicate science to diverse audiences and stakeholders.
• The ability to work collaboratively within a diverse and dynamic team, as well as demonstrate the ability to work independently to complete complex interdisciplinary analyses across fields including climate dynamics, and ocean and coastal biogeochemistry.
