Subject:Chemical Oceanography/Modeling Research Faculty

We are seeking a scientist with expertise in the modeling of chemical and biogeochemical processes in the ocean. The Division of Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry at the Rosenstiel School has 17 faculty who carry out research on topics such as: investigation of the rates of ocean processes and their influence on climate, using anthropogenic and naturally occurring geochemical tracers; laser-based spectroscopy as applied to aqueous and gaseous phases; photochemistry; application of physical chemistry to natural waters including the CO2 system; microbial transformation of compounds in the marine environment; atmospheric chemistry, air/sea exchange and reaction kinetics of trace gases; modeling of the transport and chemical transformation of atmospheric constituents; aerosol chemistry and global atmospheric transport; marine biogeochemistry of the major elements. The Division has strong research ties to the Divisions of Meteorology and Physical Oceanography and Marine Biology and Fisheries, and to the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory of NOAA. Ocean modeling expertise within the Rosenstiel School is extensive (http://oceanmodeling.rsmas.miami.edu), including the Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Model (MICOM) and the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). HYCOM is the core component of a National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP) effort to develop a global real-time ocean forecast system (http://hycom.rsmas.miami.edu). There is also a strong atmospheric modeling component including regional and global coupling to MICOM and HYCOM. Ph.D. in chemistry, marine geochemistry, oceanography or related field is required. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an externally funded research program and to publish in refereed journals. A curriculum vitae, a summary of research experience and goals, and the names/addresses/phone numbers of three references should be sent by June 1, 2003 to Modeling Faculty Search Chair, Division Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 4600 Rickenbacker Causeway, Miami, FL 33149 USA; (305) 361-4731. http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/divs/mac/. The University of Miami is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
