Research Scientist, Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Location: New Orleans
A post-doctoral scholar position is available immediately in the Sea Level Lab of Dr. Sönke Dangendorf to work on DoD, NSF and NASA funded projects related to the reconstruction and analysis of coastal mean sea-level changes with a particular focus on the reconstruction of sterodynamic sea level, the application of cyclostationary empirical orthogonal functions, and machine learning approaches. The position is located in the Department of River-Coastal Science and Engineering at Tulane University, which values diversity in all forms and is committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and welcoming work environment.
Applications from candidates passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion with overlapping scientific interests are encouraged to apply.
