Postdoctoral Research Position---Marine Ecosystem and Ocean Carbon Cycle Modeling.

Dr. Scott Doney in the Department of Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution seeks applicants for a postdoctoral research position for one year with the potential for extension to a second year in the areas of marine ecosystem and ocean carbon cycle modeling.

The position will involve the development and implementation of marine ecosystem and biogeochemical models within the framework of the global, three-dimensional NCAR Climate Ocean Model. The specific emphasis is on the role of multi-nutrient limitation (e.g., trace metals) and community structure on oceanic carbon storage under both modern conditions and future climate change. A significant fraction of the applicants research will be devoted to model-data comparisons with in-situ observations and satellite remote sensing. This work is part of a long term scientifc project focused on the interaction of global carbon cycle and the climate system.

Applicants with an interest and experience in environmental numerical modeling and/or the analysis of large data sets and a background in a relevant field which could include but is not limited biological, chemical or physical oceanography, marine or aquatic ecology, biogeochemistry, fluid dynamics, or ocean and enviromental engineering are encouraged to apply. A Ph.D. or equivalent experience is required.
