** Engineering a world of possibilities
** The Mines Oceanography Research Group seeks a Post-Doctoral Fellow to study coupled air–sea interactions in Atmospheric River source regions, with a focus on how surface waves influence air–sea fluxes and upper‐ocean structure. The position involves coupled ocean–atmosphere–wave modeling, integration of observational datasets, and publication of research results.

The successful candidate will use coupled ocean–atmosphere–wave modeling, observations, and theory to investigate sea‐state variability, momentum and heat exchange processes, and wave‐driven upper‐ocean dynamics.

Responsibilities include running and analyzing coupled models, integrating in‐situ and satellite observations, publishing peer‐reviewed research, releasing open‐source software, and presenting results at scientific conferences.

The postdoc will work under the supervision of Dr. Bia Villas Bôas at Colorado School of Mines (Mines), with collaboration from Scripps Institution of Oceanography.  Hybrid work options may be discussed.
** Minimum Qualifications
*** PhD in physical oceanography, atmospheric sciences, fluid dynamics, computer science, applied mathematics, or a related field
* Experience in wave modeling, surface wave physics, coupled air–sea interactions, or upper‐ocean processes
* Strong programming skills (Python required; Fortran/HPC desirable)
* Background in physical oceanography, atmospheric sciences, geophysical fluid dynamics, ocean waves, air–sea interactions, and quantitative analysis
* Familiarity with Git or similar version‐control tools is a plus
