Research Associate (Postdoctoral) (Position 005-517). The College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS), Oregon State University (OSU), invites applications for a full-time, fixed-term, annual appointment funded by grant and contract funds. As part of the NASA carbon cycle program and ONR/NOPP Paradigm project, we are developing coupled physical/biological models of the North Pacific Ocean. We are especially interested in the ocean carbon cycle on seasonal to interannual time scales. We seek a person who will actively collaborate with our interdisciplinary team of researchers. This position requires the design, implementation, and testing of one and three-dimensional models of the coupled physics and biology of the ocean and comparison with observations. Data assimilation techniques are used to estimate model errors and parameters, and a wide variety of visualization tools are used to study model output. The position requires publication in the scientific literature and participation in science team meetings. The successful applicant should have a PhD in oceanography or other relevant Earth science. Extensive experience in numerical modeling is required. Applicants must have experience with coupled models and plankton processes, and experience with data assimilation is helpful. Applicants should have excellent communication and presentation skills. Applicants must be able to work independently and integrate efforts with a larger research team, and be willing to travel and participate in oceanographic research meetings. Salary: $38,000-$41,000. Send statement of interest, curriculum vitae and name, address, phone number, and e-mail address of three references to: Dr. Y.H. Spitz, COAS, 104 Ocean Admin, OSU, Corvallis, OR 97331-5503. Questions about the position may be directed to Yvette Spitz or Mark Abbott by phone (541-737-3227; 541-737-4045), FAX (541-737-2064), or by electronic mail (yvette@coas.oregonstate.edu; mark@coas.oregonstate.edu).

For full consideration apply by 5/15/02. *********************************************************** POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER (Position 005-516). The College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) at Oregon State University (OSU) invites applications for a full-time, fixed term, Research Associate (Postdoctoral) position. The successful applicant will conduct research related to the circulation in the nearshore zone of the ocean (defined by water depths less than 10m) and the associated variability of the bathymetry, with particular emphasis on the temporal (over O (mins)) and spatial (over O (100m)) variability of the coupled system involving waves, currents and sediment transport. Research will involve the planning, implementation, and analysis of numerical model experiments and the use of laboratory and field data to test and improve the predictions. The position is funded through grants from the Office of Naval Research and the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP). Qualifications: Ph.D. in physical oceanography, physics, applied mathematics, mechanical, civil, coastal or ocean engineering, or related field; experience in theoretical and/or numerical modeling studies of fluid/sediment dynamics problems (however, individuals with related field or laboratory experience who would like to broaden their capabilities to include numerical modeling are encouraged to apply); experience in Unix systems and Fortran programming; experience in the analysis of nearshore data sets is highly desirable; proficiency in written and spoken English is required. Salary: $38,000-$42,000. Send statement of interest, curriculum vitae and name, address, phone number and electronic mail address of three references to: Dr. H. T. Özkan-Haller, COAS, 104 Ocean Admin, OSU, Corvallis, OR 97331-5503. For full consideration, apply by 4/12/02. Questions about the position may be directed to Dr. Özkan-Haller by telephone (541-737-9170), Fax (541-737-2064), or by e-mail (ozkan@coas.oregonstate.edu).
