[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc: Ocean Observatories/Ocean Acidification (Friday Harbor Lab/UW)

[Alex Gagnon]

Friday Harbor Labs recently opened a search for a new FHL Postdoctoral Fellow. Specifically they are looking for someone to establish an active research program in Ocean Observatories, Ocean Acidification, or both. Applications due on May 15, 2018.

Please help me share this opportunity for a promising young scientist to conduct independent research within a supportive academic environment. Friday Harbor Labs is located in the idyllic San Juan Islands. FHL is part of the University of Washington’s College of the Environment with many faculty spending time between both locations. In my experience, FHL postdocs take advantage of resources and faculty expertise at both locations.

One of the unique opportunities is that Friday Harbor Labs (FHL) recently installed a cabled observatory with deep and surface nodes that will monitor carbonate system parameters (pH and pCO2) as well as a host of other exciting data (including a FlowCytobot). On land, the Ocean Acidification Environmental Laboratory includes 16 computer-controlled mesocosms supported by a staffed marine chemistry lab with DIC coulometer, ALK, and spectrophotometric pH.

I am not involved in the search but I think this is a really exciting opportunity. FHL is a great place to do science and a great place to live. Some of the salient points about the position are listed below my signature.

Application Deadline is May 15, 2018 to start January 2019.

FHL supports a post-doctoral scientist for a two-year appointment to

establish an active research program in Ocean Acidification or Ocean Observatories, or both.
assist the FHL Director in facilitating the efforts of visiting scientists and students, and
teach at least one course during each year of the postdoc appointment.
Applications are welcomed from scientists with qualifications in any area of marine research that is readily supportable by FHL, but preference will be given to applicants studying ocean acidification, or ocean observatories (e.g., see the researchers at FHL list <http://fhl.uw.edu/research/research-projects/researchers/>)

Applications should include:

curriculum vita
two letters of reference sent directly to Margo Thorp from the letter writers
a brief letter (5 pages maximum) outlining interests and your specific research plan
Please email application materials to: thorpm at uw.edu <mailto:thorpm at uw.edu>.
