Postdoctoral researcher in ocean surface boundary layer mixing, Scripps Institute of Oceanography, USA (deadline: 31 October 2024)
We are seeking a full-time postdoctoral research associate to join a multi-institution team working on a new NSF-funded project. The project aims to better understand ocean surface boundary layer mixing processes affected by surface waves by conducting controlled laboratory experiments of wind-driven stratified turbulent mixing in the Scripps Ocean-Atmosphere Research Simulator (SOARS). The experimental results will be used to validate and inform the development of state-of-the-art numerical simulations of ocean surface boundary layer turbulence conducted with Oceananigans — thereby helping to advance the fidelity of a widely-used research tool and improving climate projections made by the Climate Modeling Alliance.
Qualifications include: a Ph.D. in fluid mechanics, physical oceanography, or a related field, completed prior to postdoctoral appointment start date; strong quantitative skills and extensive experience with laboratory techniques (PIV, LIF, multi-camera and laser systems) and related data analysis; strong writing skills and experience with submission of manuscripts to academic journals; demonstrated ability to work both collaboratively as part of a research team and independently.
The postdoctoral research associate will conduct experiments in the SOARS facility at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, while collaborating with Nick Pizzo (URI), Luc Lenain (UCSD), Fabrice Veron (UD) and Gregory Wagner (MIT).
One-year commitment required, with the position renewable for a second year.
To apply, please send the following to nicholas.pizzo@uri.edu, llenain@ucsd.edu, fveron@udel.edu, wagner.greg@gmail.com .
- curriculum vitae
- statement of research interests and experience
- contact information for three references
For full consideration, materials should be received by October 31, 2024.

Postdoctoral Scholar – in project “Integrating Models and Observations across Scales”, UC Santa Barbara, USA (deadline: 30 September 2024)
Position description: InMOS (Integration of Models and Observations Across Scales) is an international project funded by Schmidt Sciences under the Ocean Biogeochemistry Virtual Institute (OBVI) initiative. The goal of InMOS is to develop a combined multi-scale state estimate of ocean heat, carbon, and oxygen budgets for the past 35 years, with the aim of both reducing uncertainties in these budgets and achieving an unprecedented level of understanding of the physical and biogeochemical processes affecting these interlinked cycles. InMOS is led by Tim DeVries at UC Santa Barbara and Ralph Keeling at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and comprises 11 PIs at multiple institutions across the U.S., Europe, and South Africa.
As part of InMOS, we are looking for a postdoctoral scholar to work on marine biogeochemical modeling and data assimilation under the supervision of Prof. Tim DeVries at UC Santa Barbara. The position involves the development and testing of new ocean biogeochemical models, and assimilating ocean biogeochemical tracers into these models to constrain the mean state and climate-driven variability of the ocean’s carbon, heat, and oxygen cycles. The successful candidate will also collaborate with PIs and postdocs at other InMOS institutions working on various aspects of the project, such as ocean observations, high-resolution modeling and machine learning.
