Applications are open for a 3-year. full-time postdoctoral researcher interested in chemical oceanography / ocean biogeochemistry to work with Prof. Seth Bushinsky at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and join a recently funded NASA project. The goal of the project is to better understand the relative role of the biogeochemical and physical processes governing the Southern Ocean’s carbon uptake. We seek to determine how Subantarctic Mode Water and Antarctic Intermediate Waters accumulate anthropogenic carbon and transport nutrients into the ocean interior. The project will involve the use of biogeochemical profiling float data, satellite observations, and ocean state estimate output. The postdoc will also interact and meet with project co-PI Dr. Ivana Cerovečki at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, who is in charge of the analysis of physical processes.

Desired qualifications: PhD in Chemical or Physical Oceanography. Experience working with large observational datasets and model output is preferred. This is a 3-year position, subject to annual reviews of continued satisfactory performance. Salary is $72,000 per year, plus benefits.

Applications must be submitted by 20 December 2021. For more information on the position and to apply visit the RCUH website (application link). Please contact the lead PI with any questions: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
