Job description
We seek a motivated postdoctoral scholar in coastal ocean modeling to join the Ocean Circulation Lab at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science. Successful candidates will engage in a program of coordinated observing and modeling toward better understanding the ocean circulation on the West Florida Shelf (WFS) and its applications in marine environmental issues of societal importance. Presently maintained automated coastal ocean modeling nowcast/forecast systems are based on the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM). We are interested in further improvements to these systems and their applications in storm surge forecast and ecosystem simulation (e.g., red tide, water quality). Please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three referees. Applications will be reviewed as received. Appointment is available immediately. Initial appointment is for one year, with extensions desirable based on performance and funding availability. For information regarding this available position, please contact Dr. Yonggang Liu, yliu@usf.edu.
