Hello coral-list,

I wanted to draw attention to an exciting new postdoc opportunity.  
Details below.

The Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) at 
the University of Miami invites applications for a Postdoctoral 
Associate specializing in coral reef carbonate budget modeling to work 
closely with scientists at RSMAS and NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and 
Meteorological Laboratory’s Ocean Chemistry and Ecosystem Division 
(AOML/OCED).

The position is for one year, with the potential for continuation up to 
three years based on satisfactory performance and availability of funds. 
  The position is within the Acidification, Climate, and Coral Reef 
Ecosystems Team (ACCRETE, 
http://www.coral.noaa.gov/research/accrete.html), a subunit of the Coral 
Health and Monitoring Program (CHAMP, http://www.coral.noaa.gov/).  The 
successful application will assist with the development of an 
evaluative, web-based and easily interpretable tool for managers to 
gauge present day reef accretionary state, forecast future conditions, 
as well as plug-and-play specific management actions that can alter 
future states.    The goal of the evaluative tool is to allow managers 
to: 1) determine if their reef(s) are presently eroding or accreting, 
structurally complex, and if/when they may become erosional in the 
future with climate change and ocean acidification, and 2) assess the 
possible efficacy of counteractive measures to maintain reef structure. 
This research will complement and leverage ongoing ACCRETE projects and 
personnel. Preference will be given to candidates with an exemplary 
track record of peer-reviewed publications.

Applicants must possess a Ph.D. in marine science or a related field 
from an accredited university.

Apply online at: www.miami.edu/careers.  Curriculum Vitae, a letter of 
interest, and the contact information for 2 persons who can provide 
letters of recommendation are required.


Best regards,

Derek Manzello
