Postdoc in Fully Coupled Earth System Tidal Modeling at LANL

Who you will work with:This postdoctoral position is within the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Theoretical Division (T-Division). LANL is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in science and engineering on behalf of national security, and includes a vibrant research team developing advanced ocean, ice and terrestrial models for the study of the earth as a complex adaptive system, including interactions leading to climate change. The laboratory’s earth system science area currently has more than 15 postdoctoral fellows and a staff exceeding 30 scientists spanning multiple laboratory divisions. The postdoctoral fellow selected for this position will be based in T-Division Fluid Dynamics and Solid Mechanics, working with staff scientists including Andrew Roberts and Phillip Wolfram, and will be co-mentored by Brian Arbic at the University of Michigan. The selected scientist will be strongly encouraged to interact with researchers at other DOE laboratories and international scientists working on coupled tidal modeling.What You NeedDesired Skills:A demonstrated ability to disseminate your research through written and oral communication.Previous tidal modeling could be an advantage, but we are equally as interested in an enthusiastic and creative applicant shifting from a different research area.Expertise in current or emerging computer programming languages compatible with high-performance computing (e.g. Fortran90, C, C++, Julia); expertise in scripting or data-analysis languages (e.g. Unix scripting, Python, MATLAB, R).Education:A Ph.D. in the fields of geophysics, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, earth system science, cryospheric or planetary modeling, computational science, physics, or applied mathematics.Notes to Applicants:Please include with your application a curriculum vitae, names of three references, and a cover letter detailing qualifications and research interests that are specific to the job requirements outlined in this advertisement. In your application, please describe your most important Ph.D. thesis outcome or publication and how it has contributed to an understanding of the research field it addressed.Position does not require a security clearance.
