Postdoctoral Researcher – Carbon Cycling in a Mangrove Estuary
The Department of Oceanography at the University of Hawaii invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Researcher to examine aquatic carbon cycling in the coastal Florida Everglades, situated in the largest contiguous mangrove forest in North America.
As part of a multi-disciplinary project with investigators from University of Hawaii, Florida International University, NASA, NOAA and the National Park Service, the Postdoctoral Researcher will use autonomous instruments to make time series measurements of organic and inorganic carbon parameters, along with ancillary measurements, in a mangrove estuary.
The appointment is for one year, with the possibility of renewal based on performance. The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. and a strong background in Biogeochemistry. The candidate will be based in South Florida at Florida International University and will participate in regular fieldwork in the Everglades.
The successful applicant will join a research group focused on studying transport and mixing in natural waters, and carbon cycling in coastal environments. In addition to a background in Biogeochemistry, experience with autonomous instruments (in particular pH, pCO2, and O2 and CDOM) as well as measurements of carbon parameters is preferred (in particular, pCO2, pH, alkalinity, DIC, DOC, and δ13C). It is expected that the candidate will actively participate in the publication of results from experiments in the Everglades.
For questions about the position, or to apply for the position, please email Prof. David Ho at [email protected]. Applicants should submit a personal statement describing research experience and interests, a curriculum vitae, relevant peer-reviewed publications, and names and contact information of three referees. Evaluation will begin immediately and position will start July 1, 2015.
