Subject: Ecosystem Modeling at UMCES/HPL, CICS/UMD, and CRC

The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, the Cooperative Institute of Climate Studies at UMD, and the Chesapeake Research Consortium have begun a collaborative, interdisciplinary hydrodynamic and ecosystem modeling program of the Chesapeake Bay.  This program will fund multiple postdoctoral positions.  We seek applicants to work with us on the development of a harmful algal bloom nowcast/forecast system based on a comprehensive hydrodynamic and biogeochemical simulation of Chesapeake Bay combined with empirical habitat modeling approaches. Candidates must be motivated by cross-disciplinary research and have either physical and/or biogeochemical oceanographic background with a demonstrated experience in numerical modeling.  The project will require proficiency in UNIX, Fortran and matlab.  Previous experience with ROMS, networking and GIS web applications would be advantageous.

Please send C.V., names and addresses of three references, and a statement of research interests to Dr. Raleigh Hood, UMCES HPL, P.O. Box 775, Cambridge, MD 21613.   Email:  rhood@hpl.umces.edu .  Applications must be received by Sept. 30, 2005 to receive consideration.  For more information visit our web page at ccmp.chesapeake.org.
