The Ocean Acidification Program at Mote Marine Laboratory seeks a staff chemist with a minimum 2 years experience with experimental seawater ocean acidification facilities including carbonate chemistry experience. This position will be permanently located in Summerland Key, Florida at the Elizabeth Moore International Center for Coral Reef Restoration and Research (IC2R3). General duties to be performed include working with research-focused outdoor raceways and the CAOS (Climate and Acidification Ocean Simulator) at IC2R3. This includes sample collection, monitoring and analysis of total seawater alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon, spectrophotometric pH, and other water quality parameters. Tasks also include maintaining the dry ocean acidification (OA) laboratory, maintaining the dry chemistry laboratory, keeping track of and ordering all supplies and materials, keeping all OA-related work organized, instrument maintenance, data entry, and some field work. This position will also involve some specific experimental and field work on OA and organism response to OA. The staff chemist will also be responsible for managing and mentoring student interns year round. This position might require longer days and weekend work. Travel to the main lab in Sarasota, Florida is possible. Must be able to lift up to 40 lbs. and must be able to work in a hot/outdoor environment.

The Ocean Acidification Research Center in the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences is seeking two upper-level undergraduate students to participate on a research cruise aboard the USCGC Healy to study ocean acidification in summer 2020. Interested students are encouraged to apply for travel funding and stipend through URSA, the Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Activity office.
Summer award applications are due to URSA on Sunday, Feb. 23.
Participants will work in the OARC July 6-17 for up to 10 hours a week before the cruise. During this time students will learn about oceanography, ocean acidification, sample collection and analyses, and safe practices for fieldwork in the Arctic and at sea.

Job Description: The IOW pursues chemical, biological, geological, and physical observations in marine ecosystems, applying and improving most advanced measurement techniques. In the framework of the project SPECTROPHABS (Spectrophotometric pH-measurements for monitoring of marine acidification in the Baltic Sea), based on the results of the project BONUS PINBAL (https://www.io-warnemuende.de/pinbal-home.html), we aim to address remaining open questions towards a long-term stable monitoring of pH in the Baltic Sea. On the long run, the project should lead into operational routines for spectrophotometric pH measurement in the Baltic Sea and hence, the development of a strategy towards long-term monitoring of pH and marine acidification in a complex brackish water environment. Individual goals of the project include i.) evaluation of the currently commercially available instrumentation for spectrophotometric pH measurements in seawater; ii.) a strict uncertainty evaluation as function of the key parameters affecting the measurement, iii.) evaluation of problems resulting from the limited
availability of the purified indicator dye and iv) demonstration of routine
measurement schemes within the German monitoring activities.
Application deadline: 31 January 2020. Position open for US citizens.
Job Description: Reporting to the Laboratory Head and Professional Staff, the Associate Research Scientist, (Programme Support) will facilitate and assure effective and efficient implementation of all GOA-ON (Global Ocean Acidification Observation Network) activities for the International Coordination Centre (OA-ICC), a PUI project, that promotes, facilitates and communicates global activities on ocean acidification. The Associate Research Scientist, (Programme Support )will enable the provision of the scientific and technical expertise and related support for the OA-ICC and GOA-ON and for ensuring the contribution of the GOA-ON to the achievement of SDG Target 14.3.
