We are hiring a highly motivated and independent scientist for a postdoctoral researcher position!
We are seeking a highly motivated and independent scientist for a postdoctoral researcher position in the Department of Oceanography at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Hyodae Seo and Dr. César Sauvage on projects focused on coupled boundary layer processes, surface waves, and offshore wind energy over the Mid-Atlantic Bight. The candidate should have strong background in numerical modeling and quantitative analysis skills. Prior experience in surface wave modeling and coupled ocean-atmosphere modeling is preferred. Experience with observational analyses of the upper ocean physics, air-sea fluxes, and/or atmospheric boundary layer processes is also desirable.
The initial appoint is 1 year, with the continuation of employment for a second year contingent upon program/operational needs, satisfactory performance, availability of funds, and compliance with Federal/State laws.
Applicants must submit their application forms online (ID# 225013) HERE
Interested applicant should contact Dr. Hyodae Seo (hyodae@hawaii.edu) and Cesar Sauvage (csauvage@hawaii.edu).
Hyodae Seo
Associate Professor
Dr. Hyodae Seo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Oceanography and an Associate Director of the Uehiro Center for the Advancement of Oceanography (UC•AO). He is a physical oceanographer and climate scientist with a broad range of research and teaching interests in ocean and atmospheric processes and their coupled interactions relating to weather and climate. He combines high-resolution coupled modeling with theories of geophysical fluid dynamics and analyses of in situ and satellite observations to better understand the ocean-atmosphere coupled boundary layer processes, improve their representation in numerical models, and evaluate their influence on ocean, weather, and climate. Dr. Seo actively contributes to developing sustaining and sustainable ocean observing strategies and strives to engage the public around the issues related to ocean, extreme weather, climate, and ocean-based renewable energy research.
