LUMCON provides unparalleled opportunities in coastal, marine, and oceanographic science and education to the research community and public alike. Anchored by a first-rate marine laboratory, the DeFelice Marine Center, LUMCON is embedded in Louisiana's dynamic wetland environment and conveniently located on a gateway to the open waters of the Gulf. LUMCON operates a world-class fleet of research vessels unmatched on the US Gulf Coast. In 2023, LUMCON expanded its programs through the opening of a maritime research and outreach facility (Blue Works) on the Maritime Campus in Houma, Louisiana. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">POSITION OVERVIEW</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The </span><a href="http://www.coastalbiogeochemistrylab.com/"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Coastal Biogeochemistry Lab</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> at the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON), led by Dr. Havalend Steinmuller, is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join our research team. We are looking for a highly motivated, collaborative, and organized scientist to lead field and laboratory research on how salinity gradients and hydrologic alteration drive biogeochemical transitions across coastal Louisiana wetlands.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The position is supported by a Department of Energy-funded project examining coupled plant-soil-microbe processes across a full estuarine salinity gradient in the Terrebonne-Timbalier Estuary. The project pairs an intensive field measurement campaign (porewater chemistry, continuous redox and hydrology monitoring, soil characterization, gas flux, and nitrogen cycling) with a reciprocal marsh-organ transplant experiment designed to isolate salinity and impoundment effects on biogeochemical process rates. Field data collected by the postdoc will directly parameterize reactive transport and land-surface models developed by our national laboratory partners, and the postdoc will serve as the primary scientific point of contact between the field and modeling teams.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">This candidate will directly support the Exploring Gulf Region Ecosystem Transitions (EGRET) project, an interdisciplinary and multi-institutional collaboration focused on disturbance-driven ecosystem transitions and their impacts across the United States Gulf Coast. EGRET employs an integrated model–experiment (ModEx) approach accelerated by artificial intelligence (AI) to advance predictive understanding of how plant–microbial–soil interactions vary across inundation and salinity gradients to shape ecological, hydrological, and geomorphological responses to abrupt disturbance. A cohort of postdoctoral researchers will be hired across multiple institutions to collaboratively support scientific advances guided by AI/ML, remote sensing, process-based modeling, field observations and experiments, and advanced analytical techniques. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The postdoc will report directly to Dr. Steinmuller and will work closely with co-investigators Dr. Brian Roberts and Dr. Ken Krauss. The postdoc will help coordinate the work of project technicians and will mentor undergraduate laboratory assistants and/or volunteers. The postdoc will be expected to lead peer-reviewed publications, present at national meetings, and participate in outreach efforts associated with the Coastal Biogeochemistry Lab and LUMCON. There will be opportunities to develop independent research within the scope of the project and to collaborate on other projects within LUMCON.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">This is a full-time, twelve-month appointment based at LUMCON's DeFelice Marine Center in Cocodrie, Louisiana. The initial appointment is for one year, renewable for a second-year contingent on satisfactory performance and continued funding. The approximate start date for this position will be November 2026. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-left: 23pt; text-indent: -13pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">•<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-width: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Ph.D. in biogeochemistry, soil science, coastal/marine science, ecology, microbial ecology, oceanography, environmental science, chemistry, or a related field.
