Coastal Water Quality Post-Doc Department: Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center/Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites, University of Maryland, College Park
Starting Salary: Commensurate with experience We invite applications for a postdoctoral research position to work with Dr. Sujay Kaushal at the University of Maryland and Dr. Paul DiGiacomo and Marilyn Murphy at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the area of remote sensing and coastal water quality. The postdoctoral position will offer research opportunities in developing remote sensing applications to better detect the extent, timing, and frequency of contaminant plumes in coastal waters in response to land use and climate change. The immediate project involves linking remote sensing products of chlorophyll and total suspended solids in the Chesapeake Bay to validation data aimed at tracking sources across hydrologic variability. Qualifications: The successful candidate will be a PhD graduate majoring in earth sciences, biogeochemistry, ecology, and/or coastal oceanography with skills in remote sensing. Experience with Microsoft Access, Matlab, and R-statistical software is an asset. The candidate must be able to work in an interdisciplinary environment and have an interest in linking scientific research with managing coastal biogeochemical cycles. The position is initially for 12 months with possibility of extension to two years. To Apply: Interested candidates should send a CV with a list of at least 3 professional references and a cover letter explaining how your qualifications meet the posted requirements to [email protected].
