Location: USA
The University of Delaware (UD) School of Marine Science and Policy is advertising for applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position for ocean acoustics and ocean optics. The position is available immediately.
The successful candidate will work on understanding the relationship between acoustics backscatter, optical backscatter, and optical imaging, with a focus on data collected with in-situ AUV systems and airborne, water-penetrating LiDAR systems. Specifically, the postdoc will partner with both biological oceanographers (Matthew Oliver, Jon Cohen) from the University of Delaware, and optical oceanographers from NASA Langley. The postdoctoral scholar will make use of state-of-the-art visualization and computing facilities in Matthew Oliver’s Ocean Exploration, Remote Sensing and Biogeography Lab and Robotic Discovery Lab.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in acoustics, or oceanography with demonstrated strengths in large data analysis, multivariate statics, and acoustic theory, and optical theory. The position will be primarily located in the Lewes Campus of the University of Delaware in Lewes, Delaware, however they will also spend significant time at NASA Langley in Hampton VA.
The postdoc will also participate in associated field efforts which include robotic deployments in the Mid-Atlantic region. The candidate is also expected to lead first-authored publications. The appointment will be for one year, with continuation pending performance and funding for up to a total of three years.
