[Jpjobs] Postdoctoral Fellow position in Biological Oceanography

[Julia Westwater]

Postdoctoral Fellow position available beginning September 2015 to work with a
multidisciplinary team in the Consortium for Coastal River-Dominated Ecosystems
(CONCORDE) to explore novel transport pathways of oil and dispersant systems in
coastal waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico. High-resolution in situ imagery
combined with targeted net sampling will be used to identify the biological and
physical processes driving fine-scale plankton distributions.

  

The successful applicant will have a PhD in biological oceanography or a
related field, oceanographic field experience, and strong quantitative skills.
Experience with engineering, imaging systems, image processing, biostatistics,
data management, and/or computer programing is strongly preferred. Applicants
should be highly motivated, organized, and able to work both independently as
well as within a team. This postdoctoral fellow position is based in the
Plankton Ecology Laboratory (Drs. Robert Cowen & Su Sponaugle) at Oregon State
University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon
(http://hmsc.oregonstate.edu/).

  

CONCORDE is a newly funded consortium under the Gulf of Mexico Research
Initiative consisting of 16 researchers from the University of Southern
Mississippi, Mississippi State University, Naval Research Laboratory, Old
Dominion University, Oregon State University, Rutgers University, and the
University of South Alabama (http://www.con-corde.org/
;http://www.gulfresearchinitiative.org/). The postdoctoral fellow will be mentored
according to the CONCORDE mentoring plan,
will be expected to participate in annual conferences and consortium team
meetings, and to participate in several cruises.
