We would like to let you know that the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Oceans and Atmosphere is offering a postdoctoral position to work on Regional Carbon Budgets, the Australian GHG budget, and in the new global carbon assessment of the Global Carbon Project: REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes-2 (RECCAP2). Postdoctoral Fellows are appointed for up to three years and will work closely with a leading Research Scientist in the field. The postdoctoral fellow will carry out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO with the possibility of novel and important scientific outcomes. They present the findings in appropriate publications and at conferences. The post is located in Black Mountain, Canberra, Australia. Salary will be between $82k to $93k plus up to 15.4% superannuation.

Deadline for applications is 31 October 2018, 10:59pm AEDT.

The Laboratory for Ocean Physics and Satellite Remote Sensing (LOPS) at Ifremer, Brest, France, is offering a 1-year long limited term contract for a full time engineer to work on machine learning for ocean's data quality control. The recruited person will be in charge of developing a new procedure to quality control Argo data. This procedure will be based on machine learning methods and on the historical dataset of measurement quality flags, which provides the training dataset for supervised learning methods. The recruited person will ultimately transfer the procedure to the Coriolis data center, working in close collaboration with a "Big Data" engineer at Coriolis who will be in charge of setting-up a software environment for big data mining and machine learning. This position is part of the MOCCA project (Monitoring the Oceans and Climate Change with Argo), an European initiative carried by the European Research Infrastructure Consortium EURO-ARGO.

The position is open to start as soon as possible. To apply, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

A postdoctoral scientist position in Ocean Biogeochemical Modeling is available at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), Woods Hole, MA, USA. 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 Massachusetts Institute of Technology (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. The successful candidate will be expected to work collaboratively with members of the CBIOMES team.

Review of applications began 1 February 2018 but continues now until the position is filled. Funding support is available for up to five years, but performance will be reviewed on an annual basis.

Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences invites applications for a Senior Research Scientist (SRS) position to complement the mission of our non-profit research institution. The Laboratory was established in 1974 and is located on the coast of East Boothbay, Maine, USA, in a modern, LEED-certified research and education campus. Successful SRS candidates are expected to lead transformative, interdisciplinary research that aligns with, and expands, our research mission. Targeted research areas for this position are in any of the following research themes: (1) ocean microbiome, (2) ocean biogeochemistry, and (3) ocean health. Cross-cutting themes for these positions include human impacts, foundations of marine food webs and climate change.

For full consideration, the application should be received by 30 November 2018; review of applications will begin immediately thereafter. All applications will be acknowledged upon receipt. The search will continue until the positions are filled but the goal is to have this position filled by summer 2019. Questions can be sent to This email address is being protected from spambots.
