The Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture at Yale University invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher in the broad field of marine carbon dioxide removal. A PhD in fluid dynamics, physical oceanography, or related disciplines is required. The focus of the project is studying fundamental fluid dynamical processes in the context of their influence on Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) approaches to carbon dioxide removal. Specific projects could include investigating fluid dynamics that are relevant for understanding the behavior of mineral particles in a dynamic marine environment, or studying the role of turbulent flow features in distributing alkalinity in the surface ocean. The work could involve numerical modeling across a range of scales, analytical approaches, and analyses of observational data.
Interested applicants should email their CV with a full list of publications and the names of three referees to Mary-Louise Timmermans (mary-louise.timmermans@yale.edu) in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. Review of applications will start on April 17, 2024 and will continue until the position is filled. The position will be for two years, with the possibility of renewal for an additional year.
