  1. Postdoctoral Research Position
    Physical Oceanography
    Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
    Woods Hole, Massachusetts

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) seeks applicants for a
postdoctoral research position in the Physical Oceanography Department.
The starting date for this regular full-time position is 1 April 2015.
The initial appointment will be for one year with the possibility of
extension to a second year. The position is based in Woods Hole,
Massachusetts.

The successful candidate will participate in an international,
multi-disciplinary program to study the circulation and shelf-basin
exchange of Atlantic water in the Eurasian Basin of the Atlantic Ocean
and its impact on the regional ecosystem. The main goal of the physical
oceanographic component is to obtain a quantitative description of the
water mass composition, kinematics, and dynamics of the boundary current
over an annual cycle. A moored array was deployed across the current
near 30 degrees East from 2012-13, and hydrographic surveys were carried
out as well. The candidate will work with both types of data to answer a
host of questions regarding the role of the current in the Arctic
system, including the influence of atmospheric forcing. The candidate
will be based at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution but will
interact with scientists from the collaborating institutions.

The successful candidate will hold a PhD and have experience in
observational physical oceanography such a shipboard data and mooring
data. Physical duties of this position include, but are not limited to,
a mostly sedentary environment with occasional bending, stooping,
kneeling, and crouching.

The position is open until filled.

  1. PhD Studentship Opportunity
    Heat and Gas Exchange Over Sea Ice and Seawater Using Eddy Covariance
    University of Calgary
    Calgary, Alberta, Canada

The University of Calgary seeks candidates for a PhD studentship
opportunity in a project entitled "Heat and Gas Exchange Over Sea Ice
and Seawater Using Eddy Covariance." This is a four-year position with
and expected start date of 1 September 2015. Earlier and later start
dates may be accommodated. This full-time position is based in Calgary,
Alberta, Canada.

This research project will focus on using the eddy covariance technique
to make measurements of heat and carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange in the
Arctic marine environment. Emphasis will be placed on the spring and
possibly fall transition seasons, when gas exchange processes are
thought to be most active. Links between CO2 exchange and the surface
energy balance will be investigated, as well as links to chemical,
biological, and physical processes occurring within the marine
environment. The successful candidate can expect to participate in
several field campaigns in the Arctic, with potential locations
including Cambridge Bay (Nunavut, Canada), Greenland, and Hudson Bay.

Applicants should meet the following requirements:
-Hold (or be completing) a masters degree in a field related to
geography or earth/environmental science.
-Have an entering GPA of at least 3.5 on the 4-point scale (or equivalent).
-Be an independent, curious scientist willing to pursue his/her own ideas and interests.
-Have strong writing and communication skills.

Applicants must have experience in one or more of the following areas:
-Application of the eddy covariance technique to determine surface fluxes.
-Application of other boundary layer/micrometeorology techniques.
-Field research and the use/maintenance of meteorological equipment.
-Biogeochemical cycling, particularly with respect to the Arctic environment.

Application review begins: 15 January 2015.

The position is open until filled.

To submit an application, please send a short (one-page) statement of
interest, a curriculum vitae, transcripts, and contact information for
three referees to: Brent Else, Department of Geography, University of
Calgary (belse [at] ucalgary.ca)
