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: </span><a href="https://downeastinstitute.org/our-facility/for-scientists/ocean-acidification-laboratory/" target="_blank" style="color:blue"><span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">https://downeastinstitute.org/our-facility/for-scientists/ocean-acidification-laboratory/</span></a><span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">). <i>We are interested in every
