*Scientific Staff Positions*

The Department of Geology and Geophysics at the Woods Hole Oceanographic 
Institution (www.whoi.edu/gg <http://www.whoi.edu/gg>) invites 
applications for two tenure-track scientific-staff positions - one in 
*marine geophysics* and one in *climate/paleoclimate* studies. In 
*marine geophysics* we seek to complement and expand existing 
departmental strengths in geophysics (seismology, EM/MT, potential 
fields, and geodynamics), tectonics, and geochemistry; our particular 
interest is in Fluid Flow / Fluid-Mediated Mechanical Processes in 
Geologic Systems. In *climate/paleoclimate*, we seek to complement and 
expand existing departmental strengths in deep-water paleoceanography, 
high-resolution paleoclimate records, glaciology, and climate change 
impacts on coastal environments and modern ecosystems; our particular 
interests include Climate Dynamics, and Marine/Terrestrial/Cryosphere 
Climate Linkages. We seek to hire at the Assistant Scientist level but 
exceptional candidates will be considered for appointment at more senior 
levels.

Members of the WHOI scientific staff are expected to develop 
independent, externally funded, and internationally recognized research 
programs. Scientific staff members have the opportunity to advise 
graduate students and teach courses through the MIT/WHOI Joint Program 
in Oceanography and Oceanographic Engineering. Opportunities for 
interdisciplinary research exist through collaborations within the 
department of Geology and Geophysics, and with colleagues in the other 
science departments, centers, and labs at WHOI 
(www.whoi.edu/main/departments-centers-labs 
<http://www.whoi.edu/main/departments-centers-labs>; 
www.whoi.edu/main/ocean-institutes 
<http://www.whoi.edu/main/ocean-institutes>. )

Applicants should have a doctoral degree, postdoctoral experience, and a 
strong publication record. Members of the WHOI scientific staff are 
expected to provide for their salaries from grant and contracts, but the 
Institution provides salary support when no other funding is available, 
as well as providing significant internal funding for development of 
innovative research. Candidates hired at the junior level will receive 
an initial appointment for four years with salary guaranteed. Female and 
minority applicants are particularly encouraged to apply. WHOI is 
sensitive to the issues of dual career families and will work with 
applicants to address these. Our benefits include vacation time, 
flexible scheduling, child care subsidy, family illness days, medical 
and dental plans, and an employer contribution retirement plan.

WHOI is the largest private, non-profit oceanographic institution in the 
world, with staff and students numbering approximately 1,000. Our 
mission is to advance understanding of the ocean and its interaction 
with the Earth system, and to communicate this understanding for the 
benefit of society.The Institution is located in Woods Hole, 
Massachusetts, a world-renowned center of excellence in marine, 
biomedical, and environmental science.
