I'm a senior graduate student at Scripps in Physical Oceanography. I'm ultimately looking for a position that emphasizes teaching, so I don't think I'm the right catch for your net. However, I know of a number of excellent physical oceanographers that may be very interested in your position. There are a large number of physical oceanographers residing in the "postdoc pool" waiting for permanent positions to open up.
In particular, I'm aware of:
Andrey Shcherbina (currently at UW, working with Mike Gregg and Matt Alford)
Sarah Zedler (currently at Texas A&M, working with Rob Korty, did her thesis with Peter Niiler and Detlef Stammer)
Elizabeth Douglass (just finished her thesis with Dean Roemmich and Detlef Stammer, currently a postdoc at WHOI)
Yueng-Djern Lenn and Jeff Polton (both physical oceanographers, currently at Liverpool and Bangor, England)
I hope you find a colleague that fits well with your environment!
cheers,
Jessica

Dear colleagues
This year the University of Texas Jackson School of Geosciences is targeting its expansion by looking for individuals that are possibly interested in working here in specific areas. I'm testing the waters, looking for talented physical oceanographers that might like to apply for a research position where I work. I'm a research scientist at the UT Institute for Geophysics, where we have 6 months hard money and must raise 6 months from external grants. There are no teaching responsibilities, but on occasion researchers do teach classes if they want to. Senior research scientists receive 8 months hard money, and so are required to bring in only 4 months from grants. It's a good deal for someone who wants to focus on research without the burden of teaching or the need to work on mission oriented projects. Here at UTIG most scientists go to sea to do marine seismic studies, so there is some support in place here for that. There's also excellent support for writing proposals. UT also has a "spousal hire" program, and make a big effort to hire spouses of new hires.
At this point, I'm just gathering names of talented individuals that might be interested in applying. The job announcement and call for applications will be sometime in the coming year. Can you please forward me the names of people that might be interested? There may be a preference for junior people, but we can also try to push for a senior person.
Thanks for your help,
Rob
