Position: Postdoctoral Scientist - Ocean Biogeochemical Modeling
Date: November 15, 2017
Position Summary:
A postdoctoral scientist position in Ocean Biogeochemical Modeling is
available at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole. This position
is part of a large Simons Foundation collaborative project on
Computational Biogeochemical Modeling of Marine Ecosystems (CBIOMES)
that involves multiple investigators and is directed by Mick Follows at
MIT. The MBL component of the project focuses on developing metabolic
network representations of marine microbial food webs and their
associated biogeochemistry. The goal of the MBL team is to leverage
information gleaned from genome-scale models to improve understanding
and modeling of marine ecosystems. Consequently, we are seeking
applicants with expertise or familiarity in systems biology modeling
combined with marine ecosystem modeling, or individuals with interest in
exploring this new area of research. While not required, knowledge of
Fortran, thermodynamics, genome-scale models, numerical analysis and/or
optimal control theory will be considered advantageous. The successful
candidate will be expected to work collaboratively with members of the
CBIOMES team. Review of applications will begin 1 Feb 2018 and continue
until the position is filled. Funding support is available for up to
five years, but performance will be reviewed on an annual basis.

Basic Qualifications:
A Ph.D. in Ocean Sciences, Engineering, Systems Biology or related field
is required.
Preferred Qualifications:
Applicants with experience in computer modeling of marine food webs,
biogeochemistry or biology will be preferred, but computational modeling
in other fields will also be considered.
