[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral researcher at Brown University

[Freilich, Mara]

Position: Full-Time Postdoctoral Research Associate

Salary: at least $60,000 annually plus benefits (negotiable)

Start date: May 2024



Ocean mesoscale and submesoscale processes shape the biogeochemical
function of marine ecosystems. However, central questions remain about the
mechanisms that lead to biogeochemical tracer fluxes (carbon and nutrient
fluxes) and the ways that microbial communities mediate these fluxes.



We are seeking a full-time postdoctoral research associate with a
background in oceanography, microbial ecology, chemical transport, or a
related field to work with Mara Freilich at Brown University. The postdoc
will be funded through S-MODE, a NASA project that aims to characterize the
contribution of submesoscale ocean dynamics to vertical and horizontal
transport in the upper ocean. This postdoc project will employ a
combination of remote sensing measurements of the ocean surface, in-situ
measurements from research vessels — including high resolution bio-optical
and microbial community composition observations —, and numerical modeling.
There are the potential collaborations on other projects related to
biophysical interactions as well. The postdoctoral researcher will analyze
vertical biogeochemical fluxes using observations of biogeochemical tracer
distributions and microbial community composition as well as numerical
simulations.



The postdoctoral researcher will benefit from professional development
opportunities including mentorship by Prof. Freilich and other project
collaborators as well as resources available at Brown University, such as
those through the Office of University Postdoctoral Affairs, Office of
Institutional Equity and Diversity, and the Sheridan Center for Teaching
and Learning.



Qualifications include: a Ph.D. in oceanography, ecology, or a related
field, completed prior to postdoctoral appointment start date; quantitative
skills and experience with data analysis or modeling; strong writing skills
and experience with submission of manuscripts to academic journals;
demonstrated ability to work both collaboratively as part of a research
team and independently.



To apply, please send the following by email (mara_freilich at brown.edu).

·      curriculum vitae

·      statement of research interests and experience

·      contact information for three references

For initial consideration, materials should be received by March 2, 2024.
