candidate will contribute to the development of new technological 
advancements for the measurement and analysis of benthic fluxes and 
coastal “blue carbon” cycling. There may be field and/or lab work 
opportunities in Massachusetts and Florida.

The institution has a top-rated postdoctoral program 
(www.whoi.edu/postdoctoral/) that supports a dynamic postdoctoral 
community with formal mentoring and career guidance programs. While the

Preferred candidates should have strong quantitative skills and 
interdisciplinary expertise in: (1) marine chemistry and benthic 
biogeochemical cycling, (2) time series and large observational dataset 
analysis, including a complementary skillset (e.g., programming 
experience or strong mathematical/statistical training), (3) fluid 
mechanics and turbulent transport techniques, or (4) chemical sensor and 
acoustics instrumentation and engineering.
