Postdoctoral Research Opportunity at University of Maryland and NOAA-NESDIS We invite applications for a postdoctoral research position to work with our team in the area of satellite ocean remote sensing and coastal water quality.  The postdoctoral position will offer research opportunities in developing ocean remote sensing applications to better detect the extent, timing, and frequency of contaminant-laden plumes and associated impacts (e.g., eutrophication, algal blooms, human health) in coastal waters in response to land use and climate change.  The immediate project involves linking ocean color remote sensing data/products with in situ measurements (and potentially modeling approaches) in the Chesapeake Bay to track sources and impacts relative to hydrologic and climatic variability.  The broader goal is to use this region as a pathfinder and extend the approach/methods to other coastal regions, and provide relevant information for management and decision-making.
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in earth sciences, biogeochemistry, ecology, and/or (coastal) oceanography with strong skills in remote sensing.  Experience with IDL, Matlab, R or other scientific data analysis, statistical and graphing software packages is essential.  The candidate must be able to work in an interdisciplinary environment and have an interest in linking scientific research with management of coastal ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles.  The position is initially for 12 months with possibility of extension to two years.  Interested candidates should send a CV with a list of at least 3 professional references and a cover letter explaining how your qualifications meet the posted requirements to anegri at essic.umd.edu<mailto:anegri at essic.umd.edu><mailto:anegri at essic.umd.edu>.  Any questions can be directed to Dr. Paul DiGiacomo (Paul.DiGiacomo at noaa.gov<mailto:Paul.DiGiacomo at noaa.gov><mailto:Paul.DiGiacomo at noaa.gov>), Dr. Sujay Kaushal (skaushal at umd.edu<mailto:skaushal at umd.edu><mailto:skaushal at umd.edu>), or Marilyn Murphy (marilyn.yuen.murphy at noaa.gov<mailto:marilyn.yuen.murphy at noaa.gov>).
