Subject: Post-doc opportunity Estuarine Water quality<br>
<br>
Mississippi State University in coordination with NOAA is seeking to fill a<br>
postdoctoral research associate position in water quality dynamics and<br>
statistical analyses starting immediately. The position will be advised<br>
from Mississippi State University through the Department of Agricultural<br>
and Biological Engineering but stationed (i.e. located) at the NOAA<br>
Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory in Miami, Florida.<br>
<br>
NOAA recently designated Biscayne Bay, Florida as one of ten national<br>
habitat focus, based in large part on warning signs of eutrophication. This<br>
designation states that NOAA will try to make significant habitat<br>
improvements in Biscayne Bay within 3=E2=80=905 years. The first goal in th=<br>
e<br>
implementation<br>
plan is to =E2=80=9Cby 2020, understand major sources of nutrients that<br>
contribute significantly<br>
to phytoplankton and algal blooms in Biscayne Bay and work with<br>
resource managers<br>
to enhance policies and management approaches for improving water quality.=<br>
=E2=80=9D<br>
In response to this goal, this project will focus on data analysis and the<br>
eventual development of a finite element water quality model for Biscayne<br>
Bay.<br>
<br>
The minimum qualification for this position is a PhD in environmental<br>
science, engineering, or related field. Preferred qualifications include<br>
experience with nutrient and phytoplankton dynamics, water quality<br>
modeling, computer coding, time series analysis, statistical software, and<br>
data quality assurance and quality control. We are looking for an<br>
independent and productive candidate with a proven track record in research<br>
and publications. The position is dependent upon annual funding.<br>
<br>
Interested candidates should send 1) cover letter, 2) CV, and 3) list of<br>
three references to Anna Linhoss <a href="mailto:alinhoss@abe.msstate.edu">alinhoss@abe.msstate.edu</a>.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
