Subject: Postdoctoral Research Associate, Coastal Ecosystem Modeling

The University of Washington , School of Oceanography invites applications for a postdoctoral position. The position requires a PhD in Biological or Physical Oceanography, or related field, and expertise in numerical ecosystem modeling. The successful applicant will work on the Columbia River Plume NSF-CoOP project: "River Influences on Shelf Ecosystems" (RISE - see www.ocean.washington.edu/rise for details). The goal of RISE is to understand how the Columbia River Plume affects biological productivity and cross shelf transport of carbon in this coastal upwelling region. RISE involves 12 PIs, and the observations cover simultaneous physical, biological, and chemical processes. The postdoc will work closely with a Physical Oceanographer, Dr. Parker MacCready, who is doing the RISE circulation modeling. There is the opportunity for the postdoc to participate in RISE fieldwork early in the summer of 2006. The position is for one year, beginning June 1, 2006, renewable for a second year.
