The Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) at the University of Miami invites applications for a postdoctoral associate specializing in coral reef carbonate chemistry to work closely with scientists at RSMAS and NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory’s Ocean Chemistry and Ecosystem Division (AOML/OCED).The position is for one year and does not require the applicant to relocate to Miami. Duties can be fulfilled remotely. The position is within the Acidification, Climate, and Coral Reef Ecosystems Team (ACCRETE, http://www.coral.noaa.gov/research/accrete.html), a subunit of the Coral Health and Monitoring Program (CHAMP, http://www.coral.noaa.gov/). The successful candidate’s duties will include, but are not limited to the following: 1) Focusing on synthesis and analysis of the NCRMP Ocean Acidification Enterprise datasets, i.e. baseline carbonate, diurnal suite, and census-based carbonate budgeting., 2) developing foundational models to link oceanic carbonate projection models with coastal biogeochemistry in focal island area within the NCRMP framework, and 3) Co-authors manuscripts describing the research for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals and outreach materials for a general audience.
