The Department of Ocean Sciences at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science at the University of Miami invites applications for a Postdoctoral Associate position in the area of physical oceanography. The successful candidate will use numerical simulations to study the dynamics and meridional heat transport of the Agulhas Return Current, with a focus on mesoscale eddies, meanders, and climate variability. The appointment is full-time, available starting October 1, 2025, and is for an initial period of one year, with potential renewal based on performance and funding.

The Postdoctoral Associate is expected to: (i) run numerical simulations of the Agulhas Return Current using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS); (ii) analyze model output from these ROMS simulations, as well as from Community Earth System Model (CESM) simulations and observational datasets; (iii) apply advanced analytical methods and theoretical frameworks to understand the underlying dynamics; (iv) collaborate closely with a graduate student and other team members; and (v) publish findings in peer-reviewed journals and present results at scientific conferences.

Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography or related discipline, with demonstrated expertise in numerical modeling and data analysis. Strong communication skills and a record of peer-reviewed publications are expected.
To apply, please send a cover letter, CV, and contact information for [2–3] references to ikamenkovich@miami.edu. Review of applications will begin on August 1 and continue until the position is filled.
