Research Assistants, Newcastle University
Newcastle University has two short-term vacancies for research
assistants to work within the framework of the project "Understanding
and addressing the impact of threats to marine ecosystems/biodiversity
in the UK Overseas Territories in the Caribbean" funded by Defra. The
project extends work completed for the four-year FORCE project
http://www.force-project.eu<http://www..force-project.eu/
<,DanaInfo=mail.iucn.org,SSL+UrlBlockedError.aspx>> (2010-2014) regional
initiative funded by the EU to the UK Caribbean overseas territories
(UKCOTs); it represents an exciting and innovative ecosystem approach to
managing Caribbean coral reefs in the face of climate change, with
particular emphasis on UK interests.
Based in the School of Marine Science and Technology, this is a unique

Hollywood, FL
I seek to hire an outstanding post-doctoral researcher into my Remote
Sensing and GIS lab (www.nova.edu/~purkis
<http://www.nova.edu/%7Epurkis>) at Nova Southeastern University's
Oceanographic Center.
The project which you will work on is part of a collaboration between
the Purkis lab and the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation (LOF).
The successful candidate will play a major role in the planning and
execution of remote sensing operations for the LOF Global Reef
Expedition. This ongoing initiative is visiting remote reef sites
throughout the Pacific, Indian Ocean, and Red Sea - see
globalreefexpedition.org. You will join several LOF cruises per year
aboard the M/Y Golden Shadow, a 67-meter logistical support vessel, in
order to collect ground-truth and geophysical data that you will use to
develop high-resolution habitat and bathymetry maps, from Worldview-2
satellite imagery. You will also have the opportunity to address your
own science questions related to this work. The project is exciting
because of its large scale and you will be working with several tens of
thousands of square kilometres of imagery per year. Starting in 2013,
the position will see you visiting little-studied reef sites in the
Pacific, before a shift in focus to the GBR and Coral Sea in 2014, with
subsequent legs of the GRE moving through the Indian Ocean and finishing
in 2016 in the Red Sea. We are looking to develop an exciting collegial
atmosphere with a lot of scientific freedom.
The initial term will be for one year with the potential for renewal
through 2017. The position will be at Nova Southeastern University's
"Center of Excellence for Coral Reef Ecosystems Research" (CoE CRER)
facility (www.nova.edu/ocean/excellence/index.html

National Coral Reef Institute (NCRI) on the ocean side of Port
Everglades in Hollywood, Florida. Activities in this recently opened
multi-disciplinary research building address national and international
priorities in coral reef research.
Interested potential post-docs should send to purkis at nova.edu
<mailto:purkis at nova.edu>: (1) a curriculum vitae, (2) a few sentences on
research interests and/or possible research projects, and (3) the names
and contact information for three references. Interviews will commence
in November 2012 and will continue until the position is filled.

decisions will be creativity, motivation, productivity, and a record of
successful scientific publication. The domain of your expertise will be
remote sensing, GIS, and marine spatial planning. Nova Southeastern
University is an equal-opportunity employer and does not discriminate
