Offer Description
Description
The Mubadala Arabian Center for Climate and Environmental Sciences (ACCESS), part of the Research Institute at New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a research assistant to work on simulations of ocean mesoscale plankton aimed at investigating resolution-dependent numerical biases.
The successful applicant will be the main responsible for setting-up, running and analyzing the data of ocean simulations conducted using the croco ocean model, in an idealized open-ocean configuration. Simple NPZD and iron-limited plankton models will be run alongside the physical module. By running the same configuration at different resolutions biases in the simulated plankton growth rate, productivity and phenology will be investigated. The successful applicant will work in a highly multidisciplinary environment consisting of post-doctoral researchers, research scientists and NYU faculty, and will conduce work on NYUAD’s Jubail supercomputer on a regular basis. The successful applicant will work under the close and continuous supervision of prof. Francesco Paparella
Applicants must hold, or must obtain before September 2024, an undergraduate degree in a STEM field and must have a curriculum with an extensive mathematical and computational component. In particular, having successfully passed a course on numerical modeling (or equivalent) is required. Having successfully passed courses on multivariable calculus, linear algebra, basic programming, algorithms and data structures is highly desirable (transcript required).
We highly welcome applications from students having received their degree in 2023 or 2024. However, provable experience in setting up and running large scientific numerical models is required (e.g. as part of capstone projects, undergraduate research projects, coursework). Preference will be given to candidates with provable experience in running general circulation ocean models.
The terms of employment are very competitive and include a housing allowance and educational subsidies for children. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, transcript of degree, syllabi of relevant coursework, any written documentation attesting the relevant previous experience, a one-page summary of scientific interests, and at least 2 letters of recommendation, all in PDF format. If you have any questions, please email: [email protected]
