About our Campus: Hebrew University’s Edmond J. Safra Campus is a vibrant hub of academic and research excellence nestled in the heart of Jerusalem. Our modern campus boasts state-of-the-art lab facilities, world-renowned faculty, and a stimulating environment that fosters scientific exploration, intellectual growth, and innovation.
About the Institute of Earth Sciences: Scientists in our institute explore topics such geophysical fluid dynamics, air-sea interaction, the general circulation of the oceans and atmosphere, climate change, paleoclimate, ocean biogeochemistry, climate model uncertainties, geophysics, and geology. The Institute supports cutting-edge modelling, observational, and experimental research with some of the world's most advanced laboratories.
About Our Research: The sea breeze is a dominant circulation pattern influencing the coastal ocean and extending far inland. This PhD project will explore how the sea breeze is not only a consequence of air-sea interaction but also actively modulates air-sea fluxes and interacts with oceanic circulation. A key focus will be on resonant interactions with inertial oceanic oscillations near 30° latitude and comparisons with non-resonant latitudes. Extensive observational campaigns will complement the modeling work, providing a comprehensive understanding of these dynamic processes.
Job Description: We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join this cutting-edge research project. The successful candidate will engage in advanced numerical modeling, including LES and coupled air-sea simulations, and participate in extensive observational fieldwork. Collaboration with interdisciplinary research teams will be a key part of the project, offering opportunities for professional development and scientific growth.
About Your Supervisor: Dr. Aviv Solodoch is a Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Earth Sciences. He leads the Physical Oceanography in Multiple Scales (POMS) Lab, focusing on oceanic processes across various scales, from small-scale mixing and waves to the global overturning circulation. His research interests include boundary current instability, vortex dynamics, density currents, and air-sea interactions. Dr. Solodoch employs both numerical modeling and marine observations, utilizing innovative instrumentation to study physical processes in the oceans.
Funding: 80,000 – 120,000 NIS (depending on qualifications)
Your Profile (To excel in this role, we seek candidates with):
A quantitative background in mathematical and numerical modeling in the climate system.
Strong foundation in the theory of oceanic and atmospheric circulation and physics.
Interest and ability to conduct field observations and data analysis.
Self-motivated, curious, creative, determined, and dedicated.
Embracing Diversity: At Hebrew University we believe that diversity inspires creativity, fosters curiosity, and enriches our ecosystem through academic collaboration and cultural exchange. We consider every member of our community an integral part, irrespective of their religion, gender, or ethnic origin.
HUJI is home to nearly 25,000 students across our 6 campuses, including ~2,500 international students per year representing 90+ countries. You’ll enjoy the opportunity to engage with your peers here on equal ground, in an environment that promotes equity and inclusion, and celebrates the contribution of its talented members.
Application: Please submit your application as three separate PDFs, each containing the following:
Letter of motivation
CV (including a list of publications)
Copy of your original academic degree(s)
Application Deadline: See details below.
