<p> </p>
<p>As part of a major faculty expansion at the University of
Connecticut, the Department of Marine Sciences is
implementing a cluster hire in a new initiative on Climate
and Human Alteration of Coastal Ecosystems (CHACE). The goal
of this initiative is to enhance the University’s national
presence and leadership and to enable the Department of
Marine Sciences to compete successfully in related
multi-investigator and multi-institutional initiatives. The
CHACE theme is an expression of the Department’s overarching
mission in cross-disciplinary analysis of patterns and
processes in the coastal ocean. We are seeking three new
tenure-track faculty members, who will work synergistically
and contribute to the CHACE initiative, in the areas of 1)
coupled atmosphere ocean modeling, 2)
geochemistry/paleogeochemistry, and 3) marine
ecology/evolutionary biology.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>We seek a postdoctoral research associate to join the QFC
and contribute to quantitative fisheries research including
statistical and simulation modeling in collaboration with
other Quantitative Fisheries Center (QFC) staff and our
collaborators. Initially specific tasks will include: (1)
conducting statistical modeling of sea lamprey marking data
to evaluate patterns in marking related to host size,
season, type of mark, host density, and other explanatory
patterns; (2) assist in applying bioenergetics models to
estimate consumption of major predators in Lake Huron; and
(3) use of consumption estimates from task two as basis for
evaluating food-web effects - this will involve literature
review to put study in context and partly based on this
identifying and applying appropriate modeling approaches.
The QFC is a very collaborative environment and we expect
the candidate to become engaged in a range of other QFC
projects. The research associate will work with other QFC
staff and collaborators to present research to agencies and
at public and scientific meetings, and prepare manuscripts
for publication and will assist QFC staff to develop
materials for online courses.
<br>
<br>
Requirements: A PhD in Fisheries, Ecology, or related field
is required. Other requirements include thorough knowledge
of fish population and fishery dynamics, experience using
standard fishery models, ability to use computer programming
to develop fish population models and conduct complex
statistical analyses, and familiarity with the general
linear model, nonlinear regression, and bioenergetics
models. The ideal candidate will have experience using R and
AD Model builder for statistical modeling.

Universitat Bremen</font></p>
<p>Bremen, Germany</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tropical coastal ecosystems are highly productive habitats
with increasing ecological and economic importance.<br>
The Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT) is
dedicated to the study of these ecosystems and the services
they provide to society. The mission of ZMT is therefore the
investigation of tropical marine ecosystems, their
resources, their sensitivity and the responses to natural
environmental changes and human interactions. The aim of ZMT
is to develop concepts for integrated coastal zone
management based on the scientific analysis of tropical
ecosystems in their complexity. To address this topic, ZMT
is designed as a trans- and interdisciplinary institute.</p>
<p><br>
ZMT is currently seeking to fill a Professorship in Mangrove
Ecology in co-operation with the University of Bremen.
Mangrove forests fulfil many important ecological and
societal functions. They provide coastal protection, act as
filters for sediments and pollutants, provide habitat for
organisms that are important food resources for the coastal
population, serve as CO2 storage, and are therefore of
global importance. For this position we seek a candidate who
ideally has research experience in the ecology and
physiology of mangrove ecosystems, but even more important
is the ability to develop innovative research concepts that
contribute to ZMT’s mission. The successful candidate is
expected to design and conduct research both in the field
and in ZMT’s Marine Experimental Ecology facility (MAREE)
that offers the unique opportunity to conduct supplementary
experiments under controlled tropical conditions.</p>
