The Physical Oceanography Department at the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution (WHOI) invites applications for one or more tenure track
positions on their scientific staff. The positions are full time with an
initial appointment of four years and based in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
The successful candidate will join a collaborative group of scientists
who address a wide range of fundamental problems in ocean and climate
dynamics, as well as interdisciplinary research questions, using
observations, modeling, theory, and laboratory experiments. World-class
technical support personnel facilitate the use of a broad mix of
traditional and innovative instruments and observational techniques to
make measurements on all scales from microstructure up to global, and in
all ocean domains including open-ocean and coastal regions at polar,
temperate and tropical latitudes. WHOI specifically seek individuals
with expertise in these areas: coastal dynamics, high-latitude
processes, decadal-scale climate variability, and air-sea interaction.
WHOI seeks a balance of observational, modeling, and theoretical
approaches, as well as interdisciplinary scientists with interests in
the interplay between ocean dynamics and biological or geochemical
processes, or in the interaction of the ocean with the atmosphere, the
land, and the cryosphere. WHOI expects to hire at the Assistant
Scientist level, but exceptional candidates at more senior levels will
be considered.
Applicants should have a doctoral degree, postdoctoral experience, and a
strong publication record. Scientific staff members are expected to
develop independent, externally funded, and internationally recognized
research programs. They also have the option of advising graduate
students and teaching courses through the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT)/WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography and Oceanographic
Engineering. Opportunities for interdisciplinary research exist through
collaborations with colleagues in the other science departments,
centers, and labs at WHOI. Members of WHOI's Scientific Staff are
expected to provide for their salaries from grants and contracts, but
the Institution provides salary support when no other funding is
available, as well as significant internal funding opportunities for
developing innovative research projects. Candidates hired at the junior
level will receive an initial appointment for four years with salary
guaranteed. Women and minority applicants are particularly encouraged to
apply.
Application deadline date: 15 January 2016
Applications should be sent as a single pdf document and include a cover
letter, curriculum vitae, a three-page research statement that clearly
describes research interests,names and contact information for four
references, and copies of up to three relevant publications.
