Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Bigelow Laboratory for
Ocean Sciences to investigate the Influence of Ocean
Acidification on Trace Gas Emission
Bigelow Laboratory invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist
to study the influence of ocean acidification on the biological processes that
govern the concentrations and hence emission, of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in
the surface oceans. The work is associated with a recently funded NSF-project
involving large-scale experiments on natural waters, with a focus on identifying
the key processes involved and understanding the extent to which they may
change in the future. Minimal requirements are a Ph.D. in marine science,
environmental microbiology or environmental chemistry.
Preferred qualifications are an ability and interest to work across biological and
chemical disciplines, to link molecular regulation to biogeochemical processes
and an interest in predictive model development. The preferred candidate will
have published (or submitted) their dissertation chapters in peer-reviewed
journals.
Work will be based at the new Bigelow Laboratory campus in East Boothbay,
ME (www.bigelow.org). The position will involve extended (2+months)
fieldwork in the first year. Annual salary is negotiable based on experience.
The position is a full-time, 3-year appointment. Send CV, cover letter with brief
description of research interests, and contact information for 3 references to
[email protected]. Please reference PD-2013-2 in the subject line.
For full consideration, the application should be received by August 20, 2013
and the position will remain open until it is filled. Please contact Dr. Stephen
Archer at ([email protected]) with specific questions regarding this position.
