The University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric
Science seeks a researcher to participate in a benthic ecology research
program taking place in South Florida with a focus on spatial and temporal
dynamics of seagrass productivity, abundance, and distribution, and
relationships between benthic community structure and higher trophic
levels. The ideal candidate will be an individual with experience using a
combination of GIS, remote sensing, modeling, and field experimentation to
understand population, community, or ecosystem patterns and processes at
multiple temporal and spatial scales.

Primary duties include field sampling and lab work, data collection and
management, statistical and spatial analyses, and report and manuscript
preparation. The candidate is also expected to supervise both graduate and
undergraduate students. 

Qualifications: A Masters or Ph.D. degree in Marine Science or related
field, strong GIS, remote sensing, and statistics background, familiarity
with landscape ecology, web design and maintenance, experience with
field-based research, and willingness to travel and participate in
intensive field activities as needed for ~90 days per year. Other desirable
skills: small boat operation, AAUS scuba certification, and experience with
seagrasses and coral reef organisms.
