3. Research Associate (Post-Doc)
The Ocean Physics Department (OPD) in Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington (APL-UW) is seeking Post-doctoral Research Associates with research interests in upper ocean mixing processes and turbulence. This is a full-time (100% FTE) appointment, with an expected term of up to 36 months subject to satisfactory performance and availability of funding.
The Research Associate will work with an observational and modeling team to conduct and analyze a detailed observational study of mixing processes at the base of the upper ocean boundary layer during Fall 2018. Skills in oceanographic data analysis, ocean dynamics and mixing processes are desirable. Successful applicants must hold a recent (no more than 4-years) PhD or foreign equivalent in order to assume a post-doctoral position.
A transition to permanent staff following the completion of the post-doc appointment is possible subject to availability of funds and the demonstration of an interest in developing independent research initiatives during the course of the post-doc appointment. Opportunities to collaborate with scientists across APL and the UW campus provide access to a broad range of expertise both during the post-doctoral research and as a permanent member of the staff.
APL-UW serves society by contributing new knowledge and technology to the national defense enterprise, industry, public policy makers, and academia. The Laboratory’s broad and deep experience in undersea science and technology is a significant reason why APL-UW is one of only five Department of Defense-designated University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs) having long-term, large-scale, formal connections to the U.S. Navy.
All University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research and service.
The University of Washington is located in the greater Seattle metropolitan area, with a dynamic, multicultural community of 3.7 million people and a range of ecosystems from mountains to ocean. The University serves a diverse population of 80,000 students, faculty and staff, including 25% first-generation college students, over 25% Pell Grant students, and faculty from over 70 countries. The University promotes diversity and inclusivity among our students, faculty, and staff and the public; we seek applicants who are committed to these principles. Thus, we are strongly seeking applicants whose research, teaching, and/or service have not only prepared them to fulfill our commitment to inclusion, but have also given them the confidence to fully engage audiences in higher education from a wide spectrum of backgrounds.

5. Canada Research Chair – Tier 2 Coastal Zone Processes
The Department of Earth Sciences at Dalhousie University is seeking a world-class coastal marine earth scientist to fill a new Tier 2 Canada Research Chair. Dalhousie is Canada’s leading centre for ocean research and this position is key to the strategic development of this research field as embodied in the new Ocean Frontier Institute founded on a $220M investment by the government of Canada, and private and provincial entities (http://oceanfrontierinstitute.com). The appointment is tenure-track and will be made at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in the Department of Earth Sciences. The successful candidate will be required to participate in the preparation of a Canada Research Chair nomination package. Applicants may consult www.chairs.gc.ca for more information regarding eligibility criteria. Tier 2 CRCs are tenable for five years, with the option to renew for a second term. When the term as Chair is completed, the Chair would continue at Dalhousie as a regular faculty member.
We seek a candidate with a record of research excellence and demonstrated potential for developing a world-class, externally funded research program in coastal zone processes. Applicants must have a Ph.D. The successful candidate will be a successful early career scientist in Earth Sciences or a related discipline, and will have demonstrated ability or potential to lead multidisciplinary teams. Tier 2 Chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars (i.e. candidate must have been an active researcher in their field for fewer than 10 years at the time of nomination). Applicants who are more than 10 years from their highest degree (and where career breaks exist, including maternity leave, extended sick leave, clinical training, etc.) may have their eligibility for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair assessed through the program’s Tier 2 justification process. Please contact the research grants office for more information. The ideal candidate will use field-based sedimentological analyses combined with leading-edge quantitative analytical and/or modelling methods to advance our knowledge and understanding of erosional, depositional and post-depositional processes in modern and ancient coastal environments. The CRC is expected to engage in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels and supervise graduate and undergraduate research. The successful applicant will show demonstrated teaching success or potential at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

6. Program Specialist III - Climate Monitoring
Job Overview
This position provides the necessary focal point between the NOAA Ocean and Climate Monitoring program of the Ocean Observing and Monitoring Division (OOMD) and the federal and extramural, scientific community. The ocean and climate monitoring component focuses on the development and improvement of ocean- and climate- related data sets, the transformation of ocean- and climate- -related observations into authoritative products, and the interpretation of these products to better understand the current and changing state of the, ocean, and Arctic and climate systems.
Responsibilities
Observations are a foundational element of the oceans and climate research and services enterprise. The scientific community invests significantly in the development of global observing systems to address the needs of the research, forecasting, and assessment communities, to enable stakeholders and decision-makers to monitor and respond to changes in the Earth system. While observing systems routinely provide data and related metadata, raw data alone are often insufficient to realize the full value of these observations. Value-added products, diagnostics, and indices based on these observations should have a strong scientific foundation, be publicly accessible, and enhance the use of the data to address specific needs.
