date of July 1, 2022. The MSI is an organized research unit that operates
outside of the established academic teaching departments at UCSB and

spanning 14 disciplines. The MSI administers greater than $86 million in
extramural and intramural funds in over 400 projects and education outreach
programs. The MSI is housed in the picturesque Marine Science Research
Building (MSRB) on the UCSB campus overlooking the Santa Barbara Channel.
This modern facility includes 35,230 ft2 of laboratory and office space
that houses the research and administrative needs of the MSI.

The successful candidate is expected to advance the research enterprise of
the MSI across a broad front of activities, while continuing their own
internationally recognized, extramurally funded research program, mentoring
graduate and undergraduate students, participating in ongoing graduate and
undergraduate teaching programs, and participating effectively in other
university service and professional activities. The successful candidate
will be broadly trained with interdisciplinary experience in areas
including but not limited to oceanography (biological, chemical, physical
or geological); marine ecology; marine biogeochemistry; or the ocean’s role
in climate and have teaching interests that are aligned with the curriculum
of the Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Marine Science (IGPMS).

UCSB is particularly interested in applicants who have made and will
continue to make significant contributions to marine science and who have
demonstrated successful leadership and development skills. As the MSI
Director, the candidate is expected to foster an environment that inspires
collaborations across a broad spectrum of researchers and departments and
participate in outreach and fundraising activities. In addition, the
Director will lead and oversee contracts and grants generated by this
organized research unit, and manage MSI’s space and facilities. The
Director will have a permanently tenured faculty position in an appropriate
