[Coral-List] Physical Scientist Positions at AOML

[James Hendee - NOAA Federal]

Greetings,

     The Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory will soon 
have two positions open, as described below and will be advertised on 
USAJobs.gov when they open soon (not exactly sure when yet).  If you are 
interested, you can login to USAJobs and have it alert you as to when 
the posting is announced (but probably better to keep your eyes open 
yourself).  If you have more questions as to the particulars of the 
position, please write to me or Dr. Rik Wanninkhof 
<Rik.Wanninkhof at noaa.gov>.  If you file an application, be sure to 
follow the USAJobs guidance closely, for instance as to format of your 
CV, etc., as your application will be rejected if you do not.

     Cheers,
     Jim

    *Physical Scientist ZP_3/4- Surface water CO2 observing network *

    NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML)
    in Miami FL is seeking a Physical Scientist to serve as a principal
    investigator in the Surface Ocean Carbon Dioxide Observation Program
    (SOOP-CO2). The primary responsibilities of the incumbent will be
    leading the multi-institution SOOP-CO2 program comprised of NOAA,
    Joint Institute, and academic laboratories. The position involves
    leadership and expertise in operational programs including
    development and improvement of instrumentation and software to
    acquire, reduce and disseminate data. It also includes working with
    global partners to continue and improve the SOCAT database through
    liaising with other investigators and laboratories on following
    ocean observing principles, maintaining quality, and expanding suite
    of measurements. An intricate knowledge of the physical chemistry
    and thermodynamics of the ocean carbon system is needed as
    exemplified in peer reviewed manuscripts and publicly available
    computer programs/code. The position requires experience in
    supervising and guiding personnel to successfully execute the
    program. The position will afford opportunities for expanding the
    SOOP-CO2 program and ocean carbon research and observations in
    general, developing products, and publication in peer reviewed
    journals.

    *Physical Scientist ZP_3/4- Biogeochemistry and BGC-Argo*

    NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML)
    in Miami FL is seeking a Physical Scientist to investigate regional
    and global biogeochemical issues as related to ocean health and
    climate through use of a combination of new autonomous sensors and
    conventional measurements. The primary responsibilities of the
    incumbent will be utilizing and validating biogeochemical data from
    profiling floats and gliders in partnership with investigators at
    NOAA, Joint Institutes, and academic laboratories. The incumbent
    should have capabilities to lead scientific research programs with
    focus on those investigating ocean biogeochemical processes, the
    analysis of large datasets from autonomous sensors, and the ability
    to develop a hypothesis-based research projects with direct
    application to NOAA. The position will involve collaboration with
    national and global partners to expand and improve the
    Biogeochemical-Argo and associated programs. Experience in following
    ocean observing principles, maintaining quality control and
    developing calibration protocols for the suite of measurements on
    Biogeochemical-Argo floats is desired. An intricate knowledge of
    ocean biogeochemistry and the analysis of large biogeochemical
    datasets is needed, as exemplified in peer reviewed manuscripts,
    data products and publicly available computer programs/code. The
    incumbent is expected to expand and advance the AOML and NOAA’s
    ocean biogeochemistry research and observations though securing
    resources, products development, and publication in peer reviewed
    journals.
