Pasadena, California, United States JPL Full time
Job Details

New ideas are all around us, but only a few will change the world. That's our focus at JPL. We ask the biggest questions, then search the universe for answers-literally. We build upon ideas that have guided generations, then share our discoveries to inspire generations to come. Your mission-your opportunity-is to seek out the answers that bring us one step closer. If you're driven to discover, create, and inspire something that lasts a lifetime and beyond, you're ready for JPL.

About the Project

Sea level rise is among the most tangible climate change signals within the Earth System. While regionally variable, coastlines across the globe are experiencing increasing sea levels and associated impacts such as ocean flooding and salt water intrusion. To better predict sea level at the coast on interannual to tidal time scales, it is critical to leverage the entire coastal sea level observing system and modeling tools at our disposal.

Responsibilities
  • Analysis of a variety of sea level datasets including the global network of coastal tide gauges, the Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission coastal zone data, and model output from the NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office.
  • Contribute to both basic and applied research on ocean dynamics and processes that impact coastal sea level.
  • Be a part of the NASA Sea Level Change Science Team and have the opportunity to interact with the team at large via participation in annual science team meetings and monthly telecons and working groups.
  • If desired, the postdoc will have the ability to contribute to coastal practitioner engagement, educational outreach on sea level rise, and initiatives dedicated to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility within the geosciences.
  • Lastly, the postdoc will be supported to travel to conferences to communicate their research findings/work products and build their professional network.
Requirements
  • PhD in physical oceanography, fluid dynamics, or a related field from an accredited university.
  • Strong coding skills using multiple languages (particularly MATLAB, python, or Julia and bash).
  • Experience analyzing ocean model output.
  • Experience analyzing in situ time series.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills.
  • Ability to pursue research independently.
  • Excellent organizational skills.
