Three Faculty Positions, UConn Marine Sciences

Groton, CT

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.

Post-Doc, Michigan State University

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.

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.

Applications:  Applicants must apply for this position via the link at

Joint Professorship in Mangrove Ecology, Universitat Bremen

Bremen, Germany

Tropical coastal ecosystems are highly productive habitats with 
increasing ecological and economic importance.
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.


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.
