New York State and based in Bermuda since 1903. BBSR currently employs a

scientific and educational visitors per year. Our annual operating budget
was $10 M last year, of which $4.5 M was from US government grant sources.
Major activities include oceanographic and coral reef research conducted by
resident and visiting scientists and university-level courses on topics
ranging from marine pollution to global climate change. Additional

BBSR is looking to expand its expertise in the field of coral reef science.
We seek a marine biologist who uses modern molecular techniques to carry out

graduate level) and becoming an active advisor/mentor of PhD students.  We
anticipate limited service duties, ranging from local to international. The
successful applicant is expected to maintain a continuous record of
scholarly activity.
