> Prof. Kristen Davis in the Coastal Dynamics Laboratory at UC Irvine is 
> seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate offshore macroalgal 
> cultivation and the influence of aquaculture on coastal ecosystems. 
> Heightened demand for macroalgae and derived products requires 
> innovation in design and new solutions to support its sustainable 
> cultivation in the ocean. The successful candidate will work with a 
> team of researchers to develop a macroalgal growth model that accounts 
> for hydrodynamically-mediated biological processes like the 
> enhancement of nutrient uptake due to turbulence within canopy flows, 
> plant motion, and waves.  The macroalgal growth model will be an 
> important part of a larger modeling system that will be usedfor 
> locating optimal farm sites, evaluating farm designs for structural 
> soundness under rough ocean conditions, assessing new macroalgal 
> cultivation techniques and operational procedures to maximize 
> productivity, and for predicting the influence of cultivation on 
> coastal ecosystems.
>
> *Qualifications:* Organizational and communication skills, creativity 
> in methodological development, and an understanding of basic 
> experimental design and statistical analyses are required for this 
> position. The ability to work in a group setting is essential, as the 
> postdoctoral researcher will work collaboratively with other PIs, post 
> docs, graduate and undergraduate students. The candidate must have a 
> Ph.D. in oceanography, marine science, ecology, or a related field. 
> The preferred candidate will have experience in fluid dynamics, 
> ecology, and would have some numerical modeling experience, as well as 
> the demonstrated ability to publish peer-reviewed manuscripts.
>
> The postdoctoral scholar will work with Prof. Kristen Davis 
> (http://davis.eng.uci.edu/) and her research group.  Initial 
> appointment will be for a 12-month period, renewable subject to 
> performance for another 12 months. Salary is competitive and 
> commensurate with qualifications and experience.
