<h3 id="gmail-description">Position description</h3>
<div class="gmail-section"><p>A postdoctoral
researcher is sought for a collaborative project on the impact of
Pacific climate variability on marine ecosystems in the California
Current. This is part of a multi-institutional project with PIs at UCSB
and Louisiana State University, with involvement from the NOAA Channel
Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CINMS). The goal of the project is to
evaluate performance of coupled climate models in simulating the
physical and biogeochemical drivers of marine ecosystem ‘shocks’, and
their relationship with modes of large-scale variability in the Pacific.
The postdoctoral scholar will have primary responsibility for the
analysis of large ensembles of coupled climate simulations, including
assessment of models’ capacity for accurate simulation of California
Current variability. The postdoc will also be responsible for evaluating
metrics for ecosystem shocks using large ensembles, and for
coordinating collaborations between project members and CINMS staff to
develop climate-informed diagnostic indicators for marine ecosystem
health, as well as attending scientific conferences to present results
as appropriate.</p>
<p>This is a full-time position. Competitive salary and benefits
commensurate with experience. The initial appointment is for 2 years
with the potential for an additional year based on satisfactory
performance and funding availability.</p>
<p>The University is especially interested in candidates who can
contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community
through research, teaching, and service as appropriate to the position.</p>
