style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Our ocean faces major threats. Global climate change,
pollution, habitat destruction, invasive species and, not least, the dramatic
decrease in ocean fish stocks have become so extensive that no areas in the
ocean have been left untouched. To help address this danger, National
Geographic, Waitt Family Foundation, Sylvia Earle Alliance along with other
public, private, scientific and conservation partners have formed an
action-oriented marine conservation initiative under the banner of ¿Mission
Blue.¿ The Mission Blue Program Manager plans, implements and coordinates
all network-building and communications aspects of the Mission Blue program in
an effort to drive greater collaboration and impact in marine conservation
around the world. S/he works with counterparts within partner
organizations such as NGOs, governments, foundations and scientific/academic
institutions to support their efforts to advance the mission blue goals.
The Mission Blue Program Manager will report to the Mission Blue Executive
Director and work closely with the wider NGS Mission Programs team to implement
NGS's role as "network hub." S/he will manage all major Mission Blue
events including annual conferences, working group meetings and support MB
voyages and partner events. In addition, the Manager will coordinate the
development and implementation of MB projects carried out by partners, track
progress and ensure effective reporting back to the network. The Manager
will also oversee all communications efforts associated with Mission Blue,
ensuring the effective development and implementation of a communications
strategy to advance Mission Blue's goals. Working closely with
communications and marketing experts within NGS and among other key Mission Blue
partners, the Manager will ensure effective communication within the network as
well as clear and impactful messaging to various outside/public audiences around
the world.</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> </SPAN></P>

(AIMS) is advertising for three 3-year Postdoctoral Fellowship positions to
investigate climate change effects on coral reefs, corals, their associated
microbes and viruses - see below. There is scope to work on a broad range of
issues within the topic of corals, coral reefs and climate change, and we
encourage early career researchers with skills in marine ecophysiology,
molecular biology, microbiology and virology, prokaryote bioinformatics,
ecological modelling or geochemistry to apply.<BR> <BR>Super Science
Fellowships<BR><BR>The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) is the
leading national organisation researching tropical marine ecosystems. The
Institute has world-class laboratory facilities, two modern research vessels and
extensive technical support. Facilities are being enhanced with $55M of capital
funds from the Australian Government. This will include a state-of-the-art
experimental ocean simulator in an extensive seawater precinct to support
innovative research into coral spawning, water quality and climate change.
<BR><BR>As part of the Australian Government?s Super Science Initiative (Marine
and Climate), AIMS has received competitive funding from the Australian Research
Council to support three exceptional early-career researchers. Successful
applicants will conduct original research within a Project entitled ?A Changing
Climate on the Great Barrier Reef: Present and Future Implications?, with a
focus on the following topics:<BR><BR>1. Interactive effects of changing climate
and water quality on corals and coral reefs (Position No. 468): <BR>Position
summary: <BR>- To conduct innovative experimental and/or desktop research to
investigate the interactive effects of multiple stressors from changing climate
(warming seawater/declining pH) and water quality (inshore nutrient
loading/sedimentation) on corals and coral reefs.<BR>- To investigate whether
improved inshore water quality would ameliorate the impact of global warming on
coral reefs.<BR>- Contribute to the identification and definition of specific
research questions within this framework, and the development of new approaches
to address these.<BR>- Lead and participate in original research, which may be
field or laboratory based experimental research, research taking advantage of
natural settings, and/or desk based work focusing on the synthesis and
interpretation of the wealth of existing data on the subject.<BR><BR>2. Coral
cellular microbes: community transitions and roles in a changing climate
(Position No. 469):<BR>Position summary: <BR>- Investigate the functional gene
changes of the coral holobiont bacterial community during transition of corals
from healthy to experimentally stressed (temperature, reduced water pH,
nutrients) and diseased states.<BR>- Correlate bacterial gene expression changes
and coral/zooxanthellae gene expression during experimental stress experiments
on corals.<BR>- Investigate the bacterial community and functional shifts of
coral microbial communities in relation to experimentally induced coral stress
signs.<BR>- Explore if bacterial communities return to the pre-stressed profiles
in relation to structure, location and function.<BR><BR>3. Coral associated
viruses: pathogens, mutualists or agents of evolution in a changing climate
(Position No. 470)<BR>Position summary: <BR>- Isolate viruses and viral nucleic
acids for virome sequence analysis from (1) the water surrounding the coral, (2)
the coral surface mucus layer, (3) the coral tissue with all its symbionts, and
(4) the zooxanthellae associated with the coral.<BR>- Conduct bioinformatic
analyses on virome sequence data, either as a lead scientist or in collaboration
with bioinformaticists associated with the project, in order to assess viral
diversity present in corals, and gain insight into the functions of
coral-associated viruses based on gene content.<BR>- Conduct conventional and/or
quantitative PCR to assess spatial and temporal patterns in abundance of certain
viral groups in corals.<BR>- Explore coral genome sequences for signatures of
lateral gene transfer, either as a lead scientist or in collaboration with
bioinformaticists associated with the project.<BR>- Undertake original and
adapted field or laboratory based experimental research and data
synthesis.<BR><BR>These fellowships are available from 1 July 2011, and
represent an exceptional opportunity for early career researchers with skills in
marine ecophysiology, molecular biology, microbiology and virology, prokaryote
bioinformatics, ecological modelling or geochemistry and an interest in climate
change impacts. More information about these jobs and detailed application kits
