Central Caribbean Marine Institute
Coral Reef Research Post-Doctoral Position
A Post-Doctoral position in tropical marine ecology at the Central Caribbean
Marine Institute is available at our Little Cayman Research Centre facility
in the Cayman Islands. The primary goal of the research is to assess and
more fully understand factors that influence coral reef resilience.
Consistent with that goal, we expect that the successful candidate will
focus his or her research efforts on a relevant area of marine science. The
research, however, should be of broad ecological interest. We are
particularly interested in attracting innovative, early career scientists
with demonstrated field and laboratory experience and strong publication
potential.
This position will suit a well-rounded research scientist who is comfortable
in the field and in the laboratory and who has strong analytical skills as
well as good personal skills. We seek a scientist who will: (1) make an
original contribution in the understanding of mechanisms underlying coral
reef resilience, (2) integrate the work into a longer-term research strategy
for the Central Caribbean Marine Institute, and (3) make substantial and
effective use of Little Cayman Research Centre facilities. The ability to
work independently and in teams on interdisciplinary problems is essential.
The successful applicant will work closely with Dr. Carrie Manfrino and Dr.
Tom Frazer.
Applicants must have a PhD in marine biology, ecology, oceanography or
related discipline.
The appointment is a full-time one year position with the possibility of
extending to two years, contingent on available funding and successful
evaluation of performance.
