The College of Marine Science at the University of South Florida (USF) is offering a 2-year Visiting Research Associate/Fish Population Endowed Postdoctoral Fellow position. We are seeking an outstanding scientist with a recent doctorate, generally awarded within the last 5 years in marine science, oceanography, or a closely related field relevant to fish population dynamics, fisheries oceanography, marine and estuarine sciences, or marine ecology. Strong pedagogical skills, experience organizing and participating in interdisciplinary fishery and oceanographic research, and synthesis of ecosystem datasets is essential.
The successful candidate should demonstrate excellence in scholarly productivity. Demonstrated ability to apply biological, climate and oceanographic data to fish population dynamics using modern/emerging multispecies/ecosystem studies and statistical modeling is preferred. Advanced knowledge of the theory, principles and practices of fish population ecology, stock assessment, fisheries management, and a working knowledge of the physical and biogeochemical processes driving primary production, zooplankton dynamics, and food-web regulation is desired. The ability to develop and refine predictive population monitoring and assessment techniques (e.g., factors influencing year-class strength) of a detail necessary to evaluate direct effects of human actions and climate change is desired.
This position will work in partnership with state and federal fisheries resource scientists to assist in the application of biological, climate and oceanographic data to fish population dynamics models. Strong quantitative skills and a willingness to work with interdisciplinary research teams are required. The successful candidate will participate in the Marine Resource Assessment program and will work with one or several of our tenured faculty for the purpose of conducting high-quality research, publishing of results, assisting in training graduate students, participating in securing extramural funds, presenting at national conferences, and potentially participating in research cruises. The successful applicant will be expected to teach graduate-level courses in fish population dynamics. The St. Petersburg Downtown Partnership Peter R. Betzer Endowment provides a 2 year appointment with a competitive salary including a full fringe benefits package and $2,000 for research expenses. After the completion of the 2-year term, the appointment can be continued using extramural funding and assuming satisfactory performance.

We are searching for a postdoctoral fellow to work on a NSF-P2C2 funded program to reconstruct late Quaternary paleohydrology and paleoclimate of the Amazon basin. To conduct this research, new sediment cores will be collected from offshore Brazil in February 2010. The successful candidate will utilize the abundance of lipid biomarkers (higher plants and soil-derived) and their isotopic signatures (δ13C and δD) to evaluate changing continental hydrologic conditions (river discharge, basin hydrology (arid/wet), vegetation changes, continental mean air temperature and soil pH). Together, with collaborators at Duke University who will be focusing on foraminiferal derived records of ocean climate variability (SST, E/P, SSS), linkages between ocean climate regimes and the response of the continental hydrologic conditions will be explored.
Applicants must have a strong background in organic geochemistry and/or biogeochemistry and have:
- PhD with emphasis on geochemistry, paleoenvironment and/or paleoclimate
- Laboratory experience with methods for lipid extraction
- Analytical experience with GC-MS/GC-FID and LC/MS for compound identification and with GC-IRMS coupling for compound-specific isotopic analyses is highly desirable.
The successful candidate will also have opportunity to participate in other ongoing research projects on paleoclimate studies and biogeochemistry, and is encouraged to develop new lines of research topics of mutual interests
Applications will be reviewed as received. The expected starting date is February 2010. For the appropriate candidate we would delay the start time but strongly encourage participation on the coring expedition to offshore Brazil in February-March 2010.
The position is for two-years with a salary of $45,000, with benefits. For information regarding the available position, please contact Dr. David Hollander, 727-553-1019,
