HOPKINS MARINE STATION, STANFORD UNIVERSITY MARINE LIFE OBSERVATORY POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS
The Hopkins Marine Station (HMS) recently established a Marine Life Observatory (MLO) Program directed toward the nearshore environment of Monterey Bay. The function of the Marine Life Observatory is to explore how individual organisms, populations, and ecological communities vary over time and space in an effort to better understand how these marine ecosystems are influenced by oceanographic, ecological and climatological factors. We are accepting applications for two-year postdoctoral positions with research directed toward each of the following areas: 1) ecological processes shaping long term dynamics of intertidal or kelp forest ecosystems 2) marine microbial community dynamics (prokaryote and eukaryote) 3) human impact on marine coastal ecosystems. Applicants are expected to develop a vigorous research project that supports the establishment of a long-term monitoring program of the nearshore marine environment at HMS on Monterey Bay. For information about these HMS positions, see: http://mlo.stanford.edu Applicants should provide a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of research plans with respect to the MLO mission, and the names of three references. Review of applications will begin on Jan 1, 2012 and continue until the positions are filled. The appointment is anticipated to begin June 1, 2012.
