POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN MARINE SCIENCE
HARBOR BRANCH OCEANOGRAPHIC
The Division of Marine Sciences, Harbor Branch Oceanographic
Institution, Inc., has an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow, to begin as
soon as January 1, 1997. Postdoctoral Fellows work closely with one of
the Principal Investigators in the Division. While research can be
conducted in any discipline within marine science, three PI+s have
identified specific interests for postdoctoral research:
*Bioluminescence (Dr. Edie Widder, PI) has an opportunity for a post
doctoral fellow to work on a project involving the development of a 3D
mapping technique which uses computer image analysis and tracking
algorithms to identify midwater zooplankton based on their
bioluminescent signatures. Applicants should have a strong background
in mathematical ecology. Some experience with C++ programming
preferred. The successful candidate will receive training in
bioluminescence, quantitative light measurements and submersible based
data collection techniques.
*Marine Botany (Dr. Dennis Hanisak, PI) has an opportunity for a
post-doctoral fellow to work on the ecology or physiology of marine
macroalgae or seagrasses. Of particular interest would be candidates
with interest and expertise in nitrogen or carbon ecophysiology of
seagrasses, or macroalgae - nutrient interactions.
*Symbiosis and Coral Biology (Dr. Clay Cook, PI) has opportunities in
two areas of research: (1) the effect of inorganic nutrients on the
biology of reef building corals, and (2) the influence of host cell
habitat on physiology and gene expression of symbiotic dinoflagellates,
using the sea anemone Aiptasia pallida as a model.
Applicants who have received their Ph.D. within the last five years are
eligible to apply (the degree must be in hand before beginning the
fellowship). This fellowship is for 18 months, with an annual stipend
of $25,000 ($37,500 total stipend); health benefits are available. To
receive additional information and application materials, contact:
Postdoctoral Fellowship Committee, Division of Marine Science, Harbor

PI of their interest: widder at hboi.edu, hanisak at hboi.edu, or
ccook at hboi.edu. Final review and selection of the fellow will be made
ca. December 13, 1996.
