Postdoctoral Scholar

University of South Florida
Saint Petersburg, Florida
Full time
2 weeks ago

The Florida Flood Hub for Applied Research and Innovation is a new, state-funded initiative hosted by the College of Marine Science located on the St. Petersburg campus of the University of South Florida. The initiative serves the entire state of Florida by addressing coastal resiliency, including changes in sea level, high tide flooding, and extreme rainfall. The Flood Hub harnesses expertise from academic, private, and governmental entities to model and forecast the scale of threats to the State’s infrastructure and coastlines with unprecedented precision and to translate that information into effective guidance for economic assessments and strategies to mitigate harm. Thus, the Flood Hub requires modeling that resolves atmospheric and oceanic interactions and weather at a spatiotemporal resolution applicable to Florida. The relevant modeling will be achieved by a collaboration between the University of Miami, Florida State University, and the U.S. Geological Survey. Work with Florida State University requires the support of a post-doctoral scholar.

This position is renewable annually based on continued need for the position, availability of funding, and satisfactory job performance.

This position is funded by the Florida Flood Hub via its allocation from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The position will focus on dynamic downscaling of simulations generated by global climate models and analysis of results from integrated simulations for historical conditions and two scenarios incorporating atmospheric warming. Thus, the postdoctoral scholar must be familiar with high-resolution climate models and dynamic downscaling, and analysis of extreme events. In addition, knowledge of approaches to analyze extreme events and experience with modeling coastal hazards would be extremely beneficial.

Doctoral degree from an accredited institution and appropriate experience and training within a selected area of specialization. Must meet university criteria for appointment to the rank of Postdoctoral Fellow.

Preferred Qualifications:

This position may be subject to a Level 1 or Level 2 criminal background check.
