Dear Colleagues,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am looking to hire a postdoc for a
macroalgal cultivation modeling project in the near
future. Would you please help me to publicize this
position by sending it to your graduate student email
lists or to researchers who you think might be
particularly well-suited for the position?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Thank you,</div>

<p class="p1"><span style="font-family: Calibri,

demand for macroalgae and derived products requires
innovation in design and

will work with a team of researchers to develop a
macroalgal growth model that accounts for

the enhancement of nutrient uptake due to turbulence
within canopy flows, plant motion, and waves. The
macroalgal growth model will be an important part of

Organizational and communication skills, creativity
in methodological development, and an understanding
of basic experimental design and statistical
analyses are required for this position. The ability
to work in a group setting is essential, as the
postdoctoral researcher will work collaboratively
with other PIs, post docs, graduate and
undergraduate students. The candidate must have a
Ph.D. in oceanography, marine science, ecology, or a
related field. The preferred candidate will have
experience in fluid dynamics, ecology, and would
have some numerical modeling experience, as well as
the demonstrated ability to publish peer-reviewed
manuscripts.</span></p>
