Research Fellowship: Nutrient dynamics in coastal systems The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) is seeking applicants for a postdoctoral appointment with a research project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biocomplexity program in the Chemical Sensor Laboratory (K. Johnson). The major goal of this NSF-funded project is development of a real-time observing system for nutrient dynamics in the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve. This observing system will couple an array of nitrate, phosphate, and carbon sensors with a hydrodynamic model to produce real-time estimates of nutrient cycling within Elkhorn Slough. We are looking for applicants with backgrounds and interests in various fields, such as biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, chemical sensor development, sensor network implementation, observing system validation, or data management, visualization, and display via the Internet. Applicants should be highly self-motivated and outstanding team players. This position is funded for up to 5 years. Founded in 1987 and supported by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, MBARI is a non-profit oceanographic research institute, dedicated to the development of state-of-the-art instrumentation, systems, and methods for scientific research in the oceans. MBARI's research center includes science and engineering laboratories, as well as an operations facility to support our research vessels and oceanographic equipment, including remotely operated vehicles. Located in Moss Landing, California, the heart of the nation's largest marine sanctuary, MBARI places a balanced emphasis on science and engineering, with established programs in marine robotics, ocean physics, chemistry, geology, and biology, as well as information management and ocean instrumentation research and development. Applicants should be recent Ph.D. recipients. Applications for this externally supported position must include: Curriculum
