Assistant Research Scientist
Applications are invited for an Assistant Research Scientist (i.e., a postdoctoral scholar) now available in the Ecosystem Studies Group at the UMCES Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL) in Solomons, Maryland. This position will focus on developing and implementing numerical models to support the understanding of carbon cycling within coastal waters and continental shelves, as well as the durability of proposed mCDR solutions. This work will be conducted as part of a large and exciting collaboration with researchers at Northeastern University, Princeton and GFDL, the University of Maine, Rutgers University, and the University of Connecticut, and will focus on modeling the impacts of kelp aquaculture on both water-column and benthic biogeochemical cycles, ecosystem effects, and potential mCDR. We seek highly motivated applicants with demonstrated problem-solving and quantitative skills. A Ph.D. is required in oceanography, biogeochemistry, computational earth system science, or a related field. Candidates with interest in or experience in ocean biogeochemical modeling, particularly model development, are especially encouraged to apply. Experience with FORTRAN, Matlab, python, and other programming languages is essential and strong writing and communication skills are recommended. Required Application Materials: CV/Resume List of three (3) references One (1) page cover letter stating interest and experience UMCES-Chesapeake Biological Laboratory Faculty Regular $68,000 The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science is an equal opportunity employer. The Center's policies, programs, and activities are in conformance with pertinent Federal and State laws and regulations on nondiscrimination regarding race, color, religion, age, national origin, sex, and disability.
