*Research Scientist – Marine Carbonate Chemistry – 18 months (Maine) – The
Downeast Institute (DEI) Beals, Maine *is seeking candidates for a research
scientist position in marine carbonate chemistry that is funded for the
first 18 months. Preferred candidates will have a Ph.D. in marine biology,
marine chemistry, or a related field, with expertise in ocean and sediment
carbonate chemistry, and oversee both internal and external research and
operation of an ocean acidification laboratory. In addition, the scientist
is expected to conduct experiments in the laboratory and field to determine
effects of ocean acidification (OA) on the biology and ecology of local,
commercially-important shellfish. This research will be facilitated by
state-of-the-art shellfish hatchery facilities at DEI where we have been
rearing bivalves and crustaceans for the past 35 years. The successful
candidate will work closely with the institute’s Director of Research and
its staff to maintain and operate the OA laboratory, and promote
interactive research with internal and outside investigators to utilize DEI
facilities for OA research. The OA laboratory is designed to study impacts
of global environmental changes on marine organisms, with a focus on full
factorial ocean acidification and warming experiments using replicate tanks
that are fully physically and statistically independent (see:
