Research Assistant Professor (Acoustical Oceanography) - University of New Hampshire

About this program

The University of New Hampshire’s Center for Acoustics Research and Education (Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space) invites applications for a Research Assistant Professor or Research Associate Professor in acoustical oceanography to lead a fully funded 3‑year project (optionally renewable for 2 years) with compensation around $80,000; continued employment depends on securing external sponsored research funding. The position centers on developing nationally recognized research in underwater acoustic propagation, including model development and validation in complex ocean environments, computationally efficient propagation approaches for embedded undersea platforms, uncertainty quantification using in‑situ observations, and coordinating at‑sea experiments and interdisciplinary decision‑making tools. Applicants must hold a research doctorate in physics, engineering, mathematics, applied physics, or a related discipline, be U.S. citizens, demonstrate the ability to obtain external research funding, and be able to travel (~10%). Apply online from Durham, NH, uploading up to five documents (CV, cover letter, contact information for three references, and a research statement); candidates with sea‑going acoustic field experience and collaborative industry/government partnerships are preferred.
