    The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate, who is excited about the opportunity to work on computational ocean biogeochemistry in a dynamic and collaborative research environment. This position will be in the lab of Professor Scott Doney. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will work as part of a team of scientists on coastal and open-ocean biogeochemical projects. The focus is primarily on the response of coastal and marine ecosystems to natural variability, climate change, and direct human perturbations. Research duties will include a mix of data analysis, numerical model development, and satellite remote sensing. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will present their findings at national scientific conferences and publish in high impact, peer-reviewed journals. QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: A PhD in Oceanography or a related discipline is required by the appointment start date. The candidate must have effective oral and written communication skills. The candidate must have a working knowledge of either advanced data analysis, numerical modeling, or satellite remote sensing methods for marine systems. The candidate is also expected to have expertise in ocean science, and a background in biogeochemistry or ecology is preferred. The successful candidate is also expected to help mentor undergraduates and graduate students in the laboratory. APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Apply online at ***************************************** and attach a cover letter, CV/resume, and contact information for three references (name, email address, telephone number, and address). Please note that multiple documents can be uploaded in the box. APPLICATION DEADLINE: Review of applications will begin on November 25, 2024, but the position will remain open until filled. The University will perform background checks on all new hires prior to employment.
