Oceanography is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to lead an exciting new
investigation into methane oxidation beneath sea ice in the Arctic. The
successful applicant will initiate an interdisciplinary research program that
will combine microbial measurements of the abundance and viability of marine
methanotrophs and in-situ measurements of methane oxidation using an underwater
mass spectrometer.  The project will
involve laboratory cold mesocosm studies and culminate with a field study on
the sea ice near Barrow, AK.</span></p>
