https://marinelab.fsu.edu/people/job-openings/ <http://www.marinelab.fsu.edu/> The Florida State University Coastal and Marine Laboratory (FSUCML) invites applications for a RESEARCH FACULTY position in Marine/Coastal Science (12-month renewable appointment). We seek a highly motivated scientist with notable research achievements aligned with FSUCML’s mission to conduct pioneering, interdisciplinary research on coastal and marine ecosystems, to mentor the next generation of problem solvers, and to leverage scientific outcomes and expertise through engagement with stakeholders to optimize marine management and conservation. The FSUCML is embedded in an area of rich terrestrial and marine biodiversity with an abundance of complex and interconnected estuarine and marine habitats including tidal salt marshes and flats, seagrass meadows, oyster reefs, and hard- bottom reefs dominated by soft coral and sponge communities. It is expected that the successful candidate will focus on processes related to these local habitats and environments. Applicants must have a Ph.D. with significant postdoctoral experience. The successful applicant will be expected to make a commitment to excellence in scholarship, student mentoring and outreach and to develop a well-funded, independent research program. Salary will be provided at 100% for the first two years and 75% from the 3rd year forward, with the expectation that the remaining 25% of salary will be met through external funding. A competitive start-up package will be offered. Application Content: Applicants are asked to provide a single document in PDF format containing a letter of application, a curriculum vita, a two-page narrative describing their research interests and plans, a brief graduate student mentoring statement, and the contact information for three references. Applicants are encouraged to present their research in a way that is complementary to and can form a basis for integrative collaboration with faculty at the FSUCML and on the FSU main campus. Applications must be sent electronically to Tianna Forbes: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>. Review of applications will begin on December 18, 2017 and will continue until the position is filled. Questions about the position should be directed to Dr. Sophie McCoy: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.
