<p class="MsoNormal">Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Investigator (PDI) to conduct research into the coupled physical, biogeochemical, and food web dynamics of the Northwest Atlantic Ecosystem. The successful
candidate will be supervised by Dr. Gregory Britten (WHOI) and co-supervised by Drs. Ke Chen (WHOI), Weifeng (Gordon) Zhang (WHOI), Rubao Ji (WHOI), and Stephanie Dutkiewicz (MIT). Initial work will focus on developing coupled planktonic food web models for
the United States Northeast Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem (<a href="https://www.integratedecosystemassessment.noaa.gov/regions/northeast/northeast-large-marine-ecosystems" target="_blank">link</a>), containing the National Science Foundation Northeast Shelf
Long-Term Ecological Research Site (<a href="https://nes-lter.whoi.edu/" target="_blank">link</a>). Contingent on progress, continued funding beyond the first year will be available to:<o:p></o:p></p>

</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">WHOI is situated in the village of Woods Hole, Massachusetts on Cape Cod, approximately 1.5 hours driving south of Boston. WHOI has approximately 1200 full-time employees and students engaged in oceanographic research and education. WHOI
is co-located in Woods Hole with the University of Chicago Marine Biological Laboratory, NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center, USGS Coastal and Marine Science Center, and Woodwell Climate Research Center, driving a vibrant marine research community. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WHOI has a top-ranked postdoctoral program (<a href="http://www.whoi.edu/postdoctoral/" target="_blank">link</a>) that supports a dynamic postdoctoral community with formal mentoring and career guidance programs. The PDI will have opportunities
to participate in educational and outreach activities associated with the project, including collaborations with graduate students of the MIT-WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography (<a href="https://mit.whoi.edu/" target="_blank">link</a>) which is a top-ranked
oceanography PhD program co-taught with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, within the greater Boston area.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Qualified applicants should submit a combined cover letter and research statement (maximum two pages), CV, up to three relevant publications, and names/contact information for at least three professional references. Please apply online
at https://url-here. WHOI is committed to scientific excellence and diversity, and we strongly encourage applications from candidates who will contribute to a culturally diverse and inclusive environment. The review of applications will begin January 1 and
will continue until the position is filled. Please contact Dr. Gregory Britten (<a href="mailto:gregory.britten@whoi.edu" target="_blank">gregory.britten@whoi.edu</a>) with any questions regarding the position. Please apply at
