We are seeking one postdoctoral researcher to work on a collaborative project between the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST http://www.ust.hk/) and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA http://www.ucla.edu/). The collaborative research aims at understanding the physical processes between the Pearl River Estuary and the adjacent shelf, in response to seasonal monsoon and buoyancy forcings. This project is under a funded program for diagnosing the causes and variability of hypoxia in the Hong Kong water (OCEAN-HK; https://ocean.ust.hk/). The postdoctoral researcher will be jointly advised by Jianping Gan (HKUST) and Jim McWilliams (UCLA). The position is based in HKUST, but required frequently to spend time in UCLA. He/She will have the opportunities to collaborate with an interdisciplinary research team and participate in the field experiments.
