The Ocean Technology Research Program of Mote Marine Laboratory has an
opening for a full-time, Staff Scientist/Program Manager. The ideal
candidate will have a PhD, DSc, or equivalent in ocean science &
engineering with experience in instrumentation for the marine environment.
Experience in interdisciplinary research, biogeochemical measurements and
instrumentation, optics, autonomous instrument platforms, and/or ocean
observing systems will be advantageous. The successful candidate must have
a demonstrated capability to conceive, design and implement instrumentation
or device intended for an application in their field of study. Hands-on
experience with mechanical, electrical, optical or computer technology will
be a rated metric in the selection process.



The successful candidate will manage an existing small engineering and
ocean technology team and will be responsible for identifying additional
personnel needs. The new program manager will interact with optical
instrument developers, apply existing instrumentation on autonomous
platforms (Webb gliders) and fixed stations, to research questions
involving Harmful Algal Blooms under existing projects, lead the migration
of existing instruments to additional generations and novel platforms,
participate in regional and national activities supporting the Gulf of
Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System, manage and enhance Mote’s existing
Sarasota Operations – Coastal Ocean Observing System (SO-COOL), develop new
instrumentation, and procure grants in support of his/her specific areas of

Mote envisions significant growth of its Ocean Technology Research Program
to include innovations in sensor development, robotics, artificial
intelligence and machine learning as part of the evolution of its current
Sarasota, FL campus into an International Marine Science, Technology and
Innovation Park.  The position also affords the opportunity for hosting of
visiting scientists, interactions with scientists from multiple disciplines
at Mote, oversight of student interns and volunteers. Mote Scientists may
serve as Courtesy Faculty at various colleges and universities, as well as
sharing information to the public to enhance understanding about Mote’s
Ocean Technology Research.



Mote is an independent, not-for-profit, 501 C(3) research and education
