Date: September 4, 2009
Position Title:
Postdoctoral Scientist, Biogeochemical Modeling
Position Summary: A postdoctoral position in biogeochemical modeling
with a secondary emphasis in benthic microbial ecology is available at the
Marine Biological Lab, Woods Hole.
Additional Information: This NSF-funded collaborative project with
Brown University will focus on understanding the environmental factors
that trigger the metabolic switching between heterotrophic
denitrification, anammox and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium
(DNRA) in benthic environments using a combination of laboratory and field
measurements and modeling.
The successful candidate will be expected to work collaboratively with
experimentalists and be capable of integrating models with experiments.
Review of applications will begin 1 Nov 2009 and continue until the
position is filled. Funding support is available for two years.
Basic Qualifications: We are seeking an individual with a PhD in a
scientific field and expertise predominately in modeling diagenetic
processes; however, individuals with exceptional experimental expertise in
benthic biogeochemistry will also be considered. The successful candidate
will be expected to work collaboratively with experimentalists and be
capable of integrating models with experiments. Review of applications
will begin 1 Nov 2009 and continue until the position is filled. Funding
support is available for two years.
Preferred Qualifications: While not required, knowledge in benthic
nitrogen cycling, thermodynamics, numerical analysis and/or optimal
control theory will be considered advantageous.
