Postdoctoral Fellowship Building a coupled ice-surge-wave forecast modeling system for Western AlaskaCooperative Institute for Great Lakes ResearchSchool for Environment and SustainabilityUniversity of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MichiganJob SummaryA postdoctoral fellowship is available for a highly qualified individual to work on a NOAA-funded grant that will develop storm surge forecasts for western Alaska. The successful candidate will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team developing physical models for the northern Pacific Ocean, Bering, Chukchi, and Arctic Seas to guide management decisions. The fellow will lead building a coupled ice-surge-wave forecast model for western Alaska and contribute additional ideas aligning with the grant's goals.The successful applicant will work with the Cooperative Institute of Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) at the University of Michigan's School for Environment and Sustainability in Ann Arbor. The fellow will primarily work at NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab (GLERL) under the joint supervision of Dr. Ayumi Fujisaki-Manome (UM-CIGLR) and Dr. Jia Wang (NOAA-GLERL). The postdoctoral fellow will also interact with earth and climate scientists on the University of Michigan's main campus.The position requires a Ph.D. in physical oceanography, meteorology, or a related field, with expertise in physical modeling (ice, ocean, wave, or atmospheric modeling). The fellowship offers a competitive salary and benefits for one year, with possible extension based on progress and funding availability.ApplyTo apply, submit a cover letter, contact information for three professional references, and two representative publications by October 15, 2018.Email your application to:Mary OgdahlProgram Manager, Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes ResearchSchool for Environment and SustainabilityUniversity of Michiganogdahlm@umich.edu
