9-month academic appointment at the rank of
Assistant Professor. This position has an
anticipated start date of August 1, 2027. We welcome
applications from individuals with broad interests
in Biological Oceanography, including but not
limited to those studying marine organism influence
on global biogeochemical cycles, phytoplankton
ecology and biogeography, blue economy (e.g.,
bioprospecting), life in extreme environments, and
carbon sequestration, with special interest in
researchers who can connect multiple trophic levels.</span></p>
