Postdoctoral Associate – Changing Ecosystems & Fisheries

About the role

The University of Miami’s Ocean Chemistry and Ecosystems Division, in partnership with NOAA’s AOML and GFDL, seeks a post‑doctoral researcher to lead high‑resolution regional ocean biogeochemical model simulations supporting NOAA’s Changing Ecosystems and Fisheries Initiative.

Key responsibilities

• Run and analyze ocean biogeochemical simulations under future climate (SSP) scenarios using the GFDL‑MOM6 North West Atlantic model.
• Interpret large model datasets to assess physical and biogeochemical responses and ecosystem impacts.
• Investigate mechanisms driving ocean change and quantify potential outcomes for coastal and marine resources.
• Present results at scientific meetings and publish in peer‑reviewed journals.
• Participate in MOM6 and CEFI working groups and collaborate with NOAA scientists.

Required profile

• Ph.D. in oceanography or a closely related discipline.
• Post‑doctoral experience in ocean biogeochemistry research.

Required skills

• Ocean or ocean biogeochemical modeling (e.g., MOM6).
• Running climate model simulations on High‑Performance Computing systems.
• Large dataset handling and analysis.
• Proficiency with Unix/Linux environments.
• Experience with Matlab, Ferret, and/or Python.
