The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) announces the continuation of a joint initiative between the Physical Oceanography and Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering departments. The goal of the multi‑year initiative is to enhance basic and applied research in a variety of coastal sub‑disciplines. WHOI seeks to hire scientists with various skills including: numerical modeling, at‑sea observations, and instrument development. Areas of scientific focus include, but are not limited to: shelfbreak dynamics, river plumes, estuaries, abrupt topography, sediment transport, and new technology/ applications. It is anticipated that multiple coastal oceanographers will be hired over the next 3‑5 years. The two departments have overlapping interests and a history of collaboration in coastal oceanography. WHOI also offers a,rich environment for interdisciplinary coastal research beyond physics and engineering. Applicants should have a doctoral degree and a publication record in physical oceanography, ocean, civil or environmental engineering, or a related field. The level of appointment of a successful candidate will depend on background and experience. Women and minority applicants are particularly encouraged to apply. For information about the Department of Physical Oceanography and the Department of Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering, please visit the following websites: http://www.whoi.edu/PO and http://www.whoi.edu/AOPE Acurriculum vitae including a list of publications, a short statement of research interests (three page maximum), and names and addresses of four references must be submitted.
