Postdoctoral research opportunities
To apply:
Send letter of application, curriculum vitae and the names, addresses, e-mail addresses and phone numbers of three references to: Dr. Geno Pawlak, Dept. of Ocean and Resources Engineering, 2540 Dole Street, Holmes Hall 402, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96822 or gpawlak AT ore.hawaii.edu. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
The University of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action institution.
Postdoctoral Position – AUV-based
Coastal Hydrodynamics Research
Applications are invited for a visiting postdoctoral scholar in the
Department of Ocean and Resources
Engineering at the University of Hawaii
at Manoa. The research will involve autonomous underwater vehicle-based
field study of coastal hydrodynamics, focusing on (but not limited to) dynamics
of wave and current boundary layer processes over rough bathymetry and effects
of offshore internal tides in nearshore dynamics and sediment transport. We
seek an individual with a PhD in engineering, oceanography or related field,
with a strong background in fluid dynamics and/or ocean physics and with an
enthusiasm to work on interdisciplinary problems. The successful candidate will
join a cross-disciplinary team of scientists and engineers in carrying out
field-based research centered at the
Kilo Nalu Observatory on
the south shore of Oahu.
Postdoctoral Position – Benthic Boundary Layer Physics and Biogeochemistry
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the University of Hawaii that will explore linkages between boundary layer physics and biogeochemistry within the context of a coastal observatory on the south shore of Oahu. We seek an individual with a PhD in engineering, oceanography or related field, with a strong background in fluid dynamics and/or ocean physics with an enthusiasm to work on interdisciplinary problems extending to benthic geochemistry and biology. The successful candidate will join a cross-disciplinary team of scientists in carrying out field-based research resolving the physical and geochemical responses of the benthic boundary layer systems in response to environmental changes. Research will include development and deployment of numerous cutting edge methodologies for field observations of benthic boundary layer physics and chemistry.
