<p>Mote Marine Laboratory intends to grant a Postdoctoral
Research position in Marine Sediment Science focused on the
influence of terrestrial nitrate in submarine groundwater
seeps on water chemistry and severe blooms of the
dinoflagellate <em>Karenia brevis</em> (Florida Red Tide).
An applicant’s research should consider groundwater seepage
where limestone aquifer strata intersect the southwest Florida
shelf, either diffuse or via karst features, and how this may
contribute to the marine nitrogen cycle, especially in regard
to the role of dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium in
benthic sediment. This research will build on the previous
findings of Mote scientists. The incumbent will be expected to
develop collaborations with other internal and external
scientists. This position will benefit from experience in
enzyme-mediated nitrogen chemistry, ability to work with large
datasets, and a strong background in experimental design and
statistical analysis. Experience with GC-MS and HPLC is
desirable but not mandatory. Field sediment and water
collections, and laboratory and in situ experiments will be
required. Training in scuba diving is desirable but not
mandatory. The incumbent will be mentored by the manager of
the Chemical Ecology and Ocean Acidification Programs, Dr
Emily Hall, and will receive additional mentoring from both
internal and external scientists.</p>

<p><strong>Mote Background:</strong> Mote is celebrating
nearly 70 years as one of the remaining independent,
non-profit international marine research laboratories. The
Mote research enterprise has over 37 diverse research
units, an array of STEM education/outreach programs, and
an aquarium featuring working laboratories with more than
100 marine species. Mote currently has more than 40
PhD-level scientists, nearly 300 staff and approximately
1300 volunteers located on its main campus in Sarasota and
across eight additional campuses/facilities, including a
state-of-the-art 200-acre marine and freshwater
aquaculture research park, a 19,000 square foot
International Center for Coral Reef Research &
Restoration in the Florida Keys and work on a new 110,000
square foot Mote Science Education Aquarium is nearing
completion.</p>
<p><strong>Application:</strong> Recent (2023 and after)
PhD graduates are invited to apply. Applicants with a
firm expectation of graduation by December 31, 2025, will
be considered. This full-time position includes an
expected initial annual salary of approximately $60,000,
health insurance with family options, and benefits
including an opt-in retirement plan with employer
matching, leave for holidays, illness, and vacation, and
other benefits. The position will be for a period of three
years assuming appropriate annual progress. Exemplary
performers may be invited to join Mote as a Staff
Scientist upon completion of their initial three-year
appointment.</p>
<p>Mote envisions significant growth of a Marine Sediment
Science Program as part of the evolution of its current
Sarasota campus into an International Marine Science,
Technology and Innovation Park, continued expansion of the
Mote Aquaculture Research Park that includes a new Florida
Seagrass Restoration Technology Development Initiative and
new US Harmful Algal Bloom Control Technology Incubator,
and stand-up of satellite campuses/facilities along the
Florida coral reef. The position also affords the
opportunity for hosting visiting scientists, interactions
with scientists from multiple disciplines at Mote, and
oversight of student interns and volunteers. Postdoctoral
Researchers are selected based on their ability to not
only strengthen and diversify the Laboratory’s significant
existing research expertise, but also the potential to
establish their own innovative research initiatives that
address Mote’s Beyond 2020 Vision & Strategic Plan.</p>
<p><strong>Applicants should submit the following:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Cover letter addressed to Dr. Emily Hall, of interest
including present employment status.</li>
<li>Academic transcript of doctoral studies</li>
<li>Copy of PhD if achieved or expected graduation date.</li>
<li>Curriculum vitae</li>
<li>Two-page essay, excluding references and exhibits,
describing intended research and mentors.</li>
<li>Three representative journal publications, in press or
published.</li>
