Anticipated Recruitment Range: $60,000 - $61,008
Position Type: Postdoctoral Scholars
Job Category: Postdoctoral Scholars

Organizational Unit Overview:

Job Duties:
The postdoctoral scholar is responsible for independent and collaborative development, implementation, and analysis of scientific research in the discipline of atmospheric science, specifically atmospheric turbulence as it relates to acoustic propagation. In addition to research experience (developing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, writing peer-reviewed manuscripts), opportunities for professional development (mentor training, grant writing, etc.) will also be provided. Prospective candidates will work in areas including computational and experimental investigation of atmospheric turbulence as it relates to atmospheric acoustics as well as hyperlocal phenomena in the atmospheric boundary layer (wind, temperature, and humidity dynamics). They will work in a multidisciplinary team with a diversity of interests, ideas, and experiences.

Specifically, the scholar will have a primary responsibility for management and oversight of large scale field studies measuring concurrent acoustic transmission loss and meteorological parameters and subsequent data processing and data management.

Duties also include: hypothesis development, literature review, collection of data, report writing, and supervising of undergraduate research students and graduate research students, overseeing data collection procedures, supervising experimental procedures, review of data for quality control, supervision of data entry/data analysis, and the development of independent and collaborative presentations and publications.

Scholars are expected to demonstrate compliance with established guidelines and regulatory standards for research including biosafety, responsible conduct of research and human subjects training.

Approximately 40% of the postdoctoral scholar’s time will be devoted to computational modeling of atmospheric acoustics and generation of scholarly products (papers and presentations).

Approximately 60% of the postdoctoral scholar’s time will be devoted to managing the scholar’s day-to-day activity which includes conducting the specified field studies referred to above as well as helping graduate and undergraduate students as needed. Work locations may be in Greenville, NC and/or Coastal Studies Institute in Wanchese, NC.
Minimum Education/Experience:
  • A Ph.D. (or equivalent) in a relevant physics, atmospheric science, or engineering discipline or closely related background
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills
  • Experience in computational and/or experimental techniques for atmospheric boundary layer measurements.
  • General proficiency in experimental design, data gathering, data analysis, record keeping, and other research related skills
  • English Proficiency
