Postdoctoral Scholar in Salt Marsh Geomorphic Modeling

The University of Washington School of Oceanography seeks a postdoctoral scholar with a background in morphodynamic modelling to work with Dr. Kendall Valentine on an NSF-funded project developing idealised ecogeomorphic salt-marsh models for the Pacific Northwest. The work combines model development in MATLAB and model experiments with fieldwork, including sediment coring, elevation surveying and vegetation sampling, and the writing and dissemination of results.

The full-time position has an initial one-year term, renewable up to two years, with a salary of $7,488 per month; the position is available from 1 November 2026, with a preferred start no later than 1 January 2027.

PhD in oceanography, geology, Earth sciences, civil and environmental engineering, coastal engineering or a related field at the time of appointment, with a strong background in numerical modelling. Submit a cover letter on research fit and modelling experience, a CV and two references via Interfolio.
