Experience in developing and quantifying carbon budgets (e.g., water column carbonate chemistry and/or sedimentary organic carbon cycling), and evaluating associated biogeochemical processes is preferred, as the person will be expected to lead this aspect of the project. Additionally, experience, or an interest in, biochemical profiling of major macro-algal macromolecules would be beneficial.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;margin:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:-apple-system,"system-ui","Segoe UI",Roboto,"Helvetica Neue",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><br style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px"></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;margin:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:-apple-system,"system-ui","Segoe UI",Roboto,"Helvetica Neue",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px">This position offers the opportunity to work with an interdisciplinary, multi-institutional team of benthic ecologists, phycologists, and microbiologists working on molecular-based methods to assess macro-algal carbon deposition associated with the growing Maine seaweed industry. The greater framework of this project is to develop verification methods to evaluate the potential for aquaculture farms to participate in the voluntary blue carbon markets. This project will offer the opportunity to participate in local field work, supervise undergraduate students, participate in educational courses offered at Bigelow Laboratory, as well as interact with a cohort of postdocs and graduate students. The candidate will also be expected to contribute to the Maine Blue Carbon Network and state and municipal efforts to consider the relevance of macroalgal subsidies to carbon budgeting.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;margin:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:-apple-system,"system-ui","Segoe UI",Roboto,"Helvetica Neue",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><br style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px"></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;margin:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:-apple-system,"system-ui","Segoe UI",Roboto,"Helvetica Neue",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Screening of candidates will begin June 30th with expectation candidate will be available to start before September 30, 2022.
