[MITgcm-support] Postdoctoral researcher, physical oceanography at the University of Bergen

[Kirk Bryan]

Dear Mehmet:  
                          If  I were 50 years younger I would apply in a minute.  You might enjoy reading a book by Roland Huntford on Nansen.
It has a lot on Nansen early years in Bergen where he got his start in research.  He did some amazing pioneering work in biology.
Although he came from Oslo, Bergen was like a different country to him  100 years ago.
                                                                                                                     Kirk

Hi all,

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in physical oceanography, please see the following.

The Geophysical Institute at the University of Bergen invites applications for a 2-year post-doctoral research position in physical oceanography, under the “Faroe Bank Channel Overflow: Dynamics and Mixing” project. The successful candidate will work with the numerical modelling of idealized processes of buoyancy driven flows and their parameterization into the ocean component of Norwegian Earth System Model.

Applicants must have achieved a Ph.D. or equivalent education in physical oceanography, fluid dynamics, physics, applied mathematics or related disciplines, or have presented the dissertation for assessment by the closing date for the application. An ideal candidate will have knowledge and experience in numerical modelling and model development, parallel computing and data analysis in high performance computing environments, knowledge and understanding of physical oceanography, the theory of turbulence and mixing and entrainment processes, and a good and relevant publication record.

To view complete job description see http://www.jobbnorge.no/job.aspx?jobid=88818
Inquires on the position can be directed via email to Prof. Ilker Fer at ilker.fer at gfi.uib.no<mailto:ilker.fer at gfi.uib.no>. Closing date: 11 February 2013.

Best,
Mehmet
