Summary
Marine coastal systems, while providing vital services to harvesting populations, have been intensely
and synergistically affected by human impacts. The use of marine protected areas (MPAs) has achieved high acceptance among scientists worldwide as the best tool to preserve biodiversity and maintain ecosystem function against human habitat modification in view of natural impacts. In the last two decades, the science of MPAs had advanced towards the understanding of optimal number, size
and space among them, vital criteria in order to establish the maintenance of key organisms' metapopulations. The Brazilian coast encompasses diverse marine ecosystems, but only 1.57% of them are being protected, a percent rate too far from that expected for the 2020's COP 10 targets - 10% of all coastal and marine ecosystems. We are proposing for this working group to analyze the Brazilian coast as a model to build a MPA network. Beyond having a coupled biological-physical model of dispersion to indicate a MPA network based on larval connectivity, the team will work on an available database of reef fish richness and abundance to indicate specific reef systems along the coast where richness and functional diversity of reef fishes are relevant.

Time-series modeling of large-scale population and community processes
NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) has a large research group using time-series modeling to study ecological dynamics. Our research interests are diverse, including estimating species-interaction strengths, inferring environmental and anthropogenic drivers of population and community dynamics, estimating stability metrics, detecting change points and regime shifts. We have numerous long-term and large-scale time-series data on fish, marine mammals, and plankton, which we use to study a wide array of basic and applied ecological and fishery questions.
We are seeking a post-doctoral scientist to join our research group. Strong quantitative skills along with a background in aquatic or fisheries ecology are necessary for this position including a record of publication. The ideal candidate would also have experience and interest in one or more of the following areas:
· Statistical modeling, esp. hierarchical modeling
· time-series analysis
· population and/or community dynamics
· fisheries management
· salmon biology
Post-doctoral positions are initially supported for 1 year with extensions up to 3 years contingent on satisfactory progress and submitted publications.
Why come post-doc at the NWFSC? You will join a supportive, collaborative and productive team of quantitative ecologists at NWFSC who are using time-series modeling to study ecological dynamics. Our center of 300+ research scientists has a large number of post-doctoral fellows and provides a stimulating and productive environment for research. Post-docs trained in our group obtain a strong grounding in modern ecological statistics and have high success obtaining positions at both federal research and academic institutions. Close proximity to the University of Washington (a 10min walk) facilitates on-going collaborations with faculty and post-docs in the UW School for Fishery and Aquatic Sciences and other departments across campus.
Interested? Contact one of the PIs below to discuss the position in more detail.

MUSEUM CURATOR/STAFF SCIENTIST, MOTE MARINE LABORATORY
Sarasota, FL
CENTER FOR MARINE MAMMAL AND SEA TURTLE RESEARCH
Ruth DeLynn Cetacean Osteological Collection
Qualifications
The prospective candidate will have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in evolutionary biology, anatomy, or a closely related field. (e.g., D.Sc., D.V.M., D.Eng., and M.D), or lesser degree, with significant experience
(at least five [5] years beyond Master's degree, or at least eight [8] years beyond Bachelor's degree in the field of specialty), including demonstration of success in peer-reviewed scientific publication and
extramural funding procurement. The individual will: (a) be familiar with procedures for the proper and meticulous archival of skeletal and soft tissues of cetaceans to promote a range of scientific studies, and
(b) demonstrate a high level of professional productivity and an ability to work well as a member of a multi-disciplinary team.
General Duties and Responsibilities
The Ruth DeLynn Cetacean Osteological Collection holds specimens from approximately 650 individuals representing 17 species. According to an accreditation team from the Committee on Systematic Collections of the American Society of Mammalogists: "The collection of mammals at the Mote Marine Laboratory is the best organized and cared for any of us have ever seen."
Part of the value of the collection relates to its integration with a multi-decade long study (through Dr. Randall Wells and Chicago Zooligical Society) of free-ranging dolphins in the Sarasota Bay area. Thus, for many specimens in the DeLynn Collection, a unique, long term record of their life history attributes and other data exists. As a Staff Scientist at Mote Marine Laboratory, the individual will establish and be a catalyst for the expansion of a vigorous research program, in addition to performing the curatorial duties that form the foundation of the job and the collection. Incumbent is expected to achieve a significant, sustained level of extramural support.
Consistent with these observations, we seek a full-time curator to maintain the standards that have produced the outstanding osteological collection created by Ruth DeLynn. The curator will also expand the collection to include soft tissue archives and to further the program with targeted research and new collaborations.
Mote Marine Laboratory and Ruth DeLynn have the following vision for the DeLynn Collection: They want it to become
* one of the most heavily used museum collections for small cetaceans in the United States;
* a focal point of regional, national, and even global comparative studies;
* a training center for interested undergraduate and graduate students;
* a resource from which numerous and important publications will flow; and
* a place where the public and professionals can perceive what a facility such as this does to enhance conservation and science.
The successful candidate will help to make this vision a reality. His or her primary duties will center around maintaining and expanding the collection in a manner consistent with the highest standards for hard and soft tissue archival. The successful candidate must be able to work well independently as well as part of a team, and have a clear and well communicated vision regarding the collection and how it is to be used to further science and conservation. In that regard, the individual who is hired will be expected to facilitate and catalyze professional partnerships and collaborations to take advantage of the collection, leading to peer-reviewed publications. He or she will have a strong publication record, continue to produce publications (including those with non-Mote and Mote-based collaborators who use the collection), and acquire extramural funds via competitive grants or contracts. Although the primary of foci of the successful candidate will be meticulous archival, good science, and team building, he or she should also be comfortable interacting with the general public as well as peers. Supervisor: Center Director, Dr. John Reynolds III
Salary Range/Benefits$40,000-$50,000/yr, with full fringe benefits which include vacation and sick time, paid holidays and health insurance.
Application:
The Search Committee will accept applications until the position is filled; however, MML will start to review applications as soon as 30August2011, and may make a decision shortly thereafter, depending on
