Thayer School of Engineering Location Hanover, NH Open Date Oct 04, 2024 Description Position Summary This postdoctoral position is part of a project funded by the NASA Sea Level Change Team (https://sealevel.nasa.gov/science-team/overview/) recently awarded to Dartmouth College. Join this growing, multidisciplinary team to help advance new understanding of polar regions and improve projections of sea level rise. Position Description Now in its fourth iteration, the NASA Sea Level Change Team (N-SLCT) has the goal of improving our understanding of regional relative sea-level change on a range of timescales and including a diverse set of physical processes that interact and combine in potentially complicated ways across a range of timescales. The N-SLCT relies heavily on NASA satellite observations in addition to reanalysis and modeling efforts to advance our understanding of sea level change in the past, present and future. As part of this team, our project uses novel understanding and observations of ice-ocean interaction at grounding line boundaries, combined with high-resolution ocean and ice sheet modeling to improve the projections of sea level change in key sectors of West and East Antarctica and provide a comprehensive view of sea level change contributions from Antarctica in decades to come. We are specifically looking for researchers with a background in ice sheet modeling, ocean modeling, or other polar processes. Computational experience running numerical simulations is required for this position and experience in the development or improvement of software is highly desirable. This position will provide the opportunity to work with a team of collaborators with expertise in ice sheet modeling, oceanography, and remote sensing, as well as to take part in the NASA Sea Level Change Team effort. Compensation for this position is competitive. Applicants should have a PhD or plan to finish their PhD in glaciology, physical oceanography, Earth Sciences or a related field. Key Accountabilities Designs and conducts experiments to investigate evolution of ice and polar oceans. Performs numerical simulations of ice sheet contribution to sea level. Analyzes and interprets acquired data. Implements changes in numerical software as needed. Stays current on relevant literature. Conducts day-to-day research activities independently. s objectives, results, interpretation, and conclusions with the research team. Prepares, submits and shepherds journal manuscripts Presents results at international conferences Demonstrates a commitment to diversity, inclusion, and cultural awareness through actions, interactions, and communications with others. Performs other duties as required. Qualifications Requirements PhD in a relevant field (physical oceanography, glaciology, Earth Sciences, engineering or a related field) with a publication history Experience running numerical simulations of Earth Science processes Interest in ...For full information see follow application link.
