Join Us
We are have several openings within the APOG
At the post-doctoral level:
We are hiring up to three post-doctoral researchers. Areas of focus could include:
● Modeling and observing waves across the oceans and sea ice using high-resolution LES simulations and satellite products.
● Developing ocean mixing parameterizations in polar regions using high-resolution coupled discrete element modeling approaches.
● Remote sensing and modeling of phytoplankton blooms in the wake of tropical cyclones and under Antarctic sea ice.
● Statistical and dynamical downscaling of Pacific climate variability to understand climate impacts on health for Pacific islands.
● Analysis of high-resolution climate model data and attribution of climate extreme events using machine learning forecasts.
Researchers can relocate to either center or remain remote, with the expectation of at least two in-person meetings in New Zealand or the US per year. The position salary is $65,000 for two years, with the possibility of extension. There is significant start-date flexibility.
Post-graduate Opportunities
We have opportunities for PhD candidates in:
In-situ observations or large-eddy simulation of vertical mixing in the Arctic Ocean
Impacts of Tropical Cyclones on Pacific Island Countries
Interactions between climate and extreme rainfall in the Pacific.
Sedimentation and phytoplankton bloom dynamics under Tropical Cyclones.
What are we looking for?
Experience analyzing/interpreting/manipulating geophysical and model data.
An open mind: interested in multi-scale climate or ecological modeling, polar climate, and climate-human interactions.
Please direct any questions to Christopher Horvat: horvat@brown.edu.
To apply: Please send a CV, a 1-page cover letter describing your research and future interests, and contact information for three references to apog@brown.edu. Please also include an example of research output (paper, thesis, technical report, etc.) that illustrates your research approach and skill.
General Opportunities:
There are many ways for interested scientists at any career stage to engage with the APOG, formally, or informally. The best way to inquire is to directly contact Chris.
Undergraduates
Opportunities are available for interested undergraduates enrolled at any University, for casual, summer or in-semester exposure to scientific research.
Graduate Students
If you are considering enrolling in graduate study at Brown or Auckland and are interested in climate science, oceanography, or polar science, please reach out for available opportunities.
Postdoctoral Scientists
If we do not currently have openings, there are also number of institutional and competed fellowships available for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers (see, for example, a list published by the AGU here).
