in restoration or disturbance ecology, ecotoxicology, trophic dynamics, ecosystem services, or ecosystem modeling applied at the community or ecosystem level. The FSUCML is located on the northeastern Gulf of Mexico coast in a relatively undeveloped area of
rich biodiversity. Diverse aquatic habitats are nearby, including freshwater floodplain swamps and marshes, salt marshes, mangroves, seagrass meadows, soft-sediment habitats, hard-bottom habitats dominated by coral and sponge communities, and oyster reefs.
It is expected that successful candidates will focus a significant portion of their research on estuarine and nearshore areas in the Apalachicola River and Bay ecosystems as part of our recently funded initiative</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;color:#2C2A29">1</span><b><span style="font-size:7.0pt;color:#782E40">[1]</span></b><span style="color:#2C2A29">.
