Job Advertisement: Closing Date 15th February 2014 Fellowships in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution June 16 to August 22, 2014 Since 1959 the GFD program has promoted an exchange of ideas among researchers from distinct fields that share a common interest in the nonlinear dynamics of fluid flows in oceanography, meteorology, geophysics, astrophysics, applied mathematics, engineering and physics. The program is organized around a ten-week course of study and research with an overall philosophy of bringing together researchers from a variety of backgrounds to provide a discussion of concepts spanning different disciplines, and thereby creating an intense research experience. Fellows complete a mentored research project. The Program commences with two weeks of Principal Lectures. The 2014 theme is "*Climate Physics and Dynamics*".Lectures on "*Water, Radiation, and Convection in the Climate System*" will be given by Kerry Emanuel (MIT) and on "*Large Scale Dynamics in the Atmosphere and Ocean*" by Geoffrey Vallis (Exeter). Up to ten competitive fellowships are available for graduate students. Successful applicants receive stipends of $5,700 and travel allowances. A small number of unpaid fellowships may also be available. Fellows are expected to be in residence for the full ten-week program. The application deadline is February 15, 2014. We seek applicants from all areas of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, and particularly encourage applications from women and members of underrepresented groups.
