Position Description:
The Harvey Lab (http://www.skio.uga.edu/people/harvey/) at the University
of Georgia's Skidaway Institute of Oceanography in Savannah, GA invites
applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of
phytoplankton ecology. Research in the lab focuses on gaining a mechanistic
understanding of the linkages between planktonic cell-cell interactions and
large-scale oceanographic processes. Particularly, the lab looks at the
mechanisms of mortality in the planktonic environment and how they
influence food web structure and biogeochemical cycling.

The applicant will be primarily responsible for analysis of mortality rates
as a function of viral infection and/or consumption by microzooplankton
predators. Duties beyond research execution include timely dissemination of
results in peer-reviewed publications and presentations, regular
contributions to the functioning of the lab, and assistance with graduate
and undergraduate student mentoring. The successful applicant will have
opportunities for career development, including networking, outreach, and
grant proposal development.
