Position Description


The Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO) at the
University of Washington (UW) seeks Postdoctoral Scholars with research
interests in atmospheric science, climate science, fisheries science and
management, and/or oceanography. As a National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) sponsored Cooperative Institute, JISAO promotes and
facilitates collaborative research between the University of Washington and
the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC), the Northwest Fisheries Science
Center (NWFSC), and the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL).

We anticipate three positions will be filled at 100% FTE. Positions are not
tied to an existing project but based on the applicant's research proposal.
Applicants are expected to conduct research in at least one of JISAO's
<https://jisao.uw.edu/research/> research themes: climate research and
impacts; environmental chemistry; marine ecosystems; ocean and coastal
observations; protection and restoration of marine resources; seafloor
processes; and tsunami observations and modeling.

Applicants are required to demonstrate research relevance to both JISAO and
at least one of the NOAA programs at AFSC, NWFSC, or PMEL. The Postdoctoral
Scholar will conduct research in association with at least one
<https://jisao.uw.edu/education/postdoc-program/postdoctoral-mentors/>
mentor from AFSC, NWFSC, PMEL, or UW. Research that promotes and facilitates
collaborative research between the University of Washington and the federal
labs is encouraged.

JISAO, as a unit of UW's College of the Environment, promotes diversity and
inclusivity among students, faculty, staff, and the public. We seek
candidates with commitments to inclusion and engagement of audiences from a
wide spectrum of backgrounds. The UW serves a diverse population of 80,000
students, faculty and staff, including 25% first-generation college
students, and faculty from over 70 countries. The UW is a recipient of a
National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award to
increase the advancement of women faculty in science, engineering, and math
(see  <http://advance.washington.edu/> http://advance.washington.edu/).

Terms of the appointment are for two years, subject to approval and
availability of funding. A Postdoctoral Scholar is an academic appointment
that requires evidence of a conferred PhD by the appointment start date (no
later than November, 2020) and candidates cannot exceed 5 years of
Postdoctoral experience prior to the end of an appointment. A competitive
salary, a small research/travel budget, and a relocation stipend are
included in the award.
