The Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) of the University of Miami (UM) is currently seeking applicants for a full time Assistant Scientist position. The successful candidate will investigate spatial and temporal changes in the physical and biogeochemical properties of the ocean, primarily focusing on water mass analysis of in-situ data collected during repeat trans-ocean hydrographic sections. The position will involve close collaborations with scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). We are searching an experienced and productive researcher whose primary responsibilities will include: • Leading seagoing activities in support of in situ oceanographic data collection along sustained trans-ocean hydrographic sections and overseeing all associated data reduction efforts as well as the required logistical arrangements for such fieldwork. • Analyzing the spatiotemporal variability of ocean circulation and water mass characteristics from the sustained hydrographic sections and assessing the subsequent effects on weather, climate, and ecological systems. • Developing software for the analysis of the acquired oceanographic data and presenting the resulting findings through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at scientific meetings. • Seeking research funding via grant writing in partnership with scientists at AOML and other institutions. Qualified candidates must possess a Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography or closely related discipline, a
