[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Position in Estuarine Biogeochemical Modeling: Solomons, Maryland

[Jeremy Testa]

*Assistant Research Scientist in Estuarine Biogeochemical Modeling*

Location: University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science - 
Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, Solomons, Maryland, USA

Salary: Competitive salary, benefits

End Date: Review of applications will begin immediately and continue 
until a qualified candidate is identified.Anticipated start date is 
May-July 2016, with flexibility.

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 
(http://www.umces.edu/cbl). This position will focus on developing and 
implementing numerical models to support the understanding of estuarine 
biogeochemical processes, including nutrient cycling, oxygen depletion, 
and phytoplankton dynamics, as they respond to changes in external 
inputs of freshwater, nutrients, and organic matter. This effort will 
include the development of a model for carbonate chemistry to quantify 
the interactions of fossil acidification and eutrophication in 
Chesapeake Bay. We seek highly motivated applicants with demonstrated 
problem-solving and quantitative skills.

This position will include participation in multiple large, 
inter-disciplinary projects aimed at understanding the interactions of 
multiple external drivers in driving short- and long-term changes in 
estuarine biogeochemistry.Specifically, the successful applicant will 
enhance an existing hydrodynamic-biogeochemical model in Chesapeake Bay. 
Experience with FORTRAN and Matlab programming is essential and strong 
writing and communication skills are recommended.//

Salary and benefits will depend on academic background and job 
experience. Electronic applications (including a full CV, description of 
past experiences, and names and addresses of three references) should be 
sent to personnel at cbl.umces.edu 
<mailto:personnel at cbl.umces.edu>with,Reference: Post-Doc-_Testa_ in the
