Faculty Position in Marine Zooplankton Ecology
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography
The Skidaway Institute of Oceanography (SkIO) invites applications for a faculty position in marine zooplankton ecology available 1 July 2010. This scientist will complement SkIO’s existing programs in biological oceanography, microbial ecology, sediment and stable isotope geochemistry, coastal physics and sedimentary geology. We are particularly interested in applicants who study the role of macrozooplankton in trophic transfer, biogeochemical cycling, and ecosystem response to climate change. Applicants with proven interdisciplinary skills, oceanographic and experimental experience, and who employ novel approaches to these studies are especially encouraged. Applicants are encouraged to learn more about the Institute and its programs at www.skio.usg.edu. The appointment will be made at either the Assistant or Associate Professor level, depending upon qualifications. Candidates should demonstrate strong evidence of (or potential for) the ability to conduct an active, extramurally funded research program. While SkIO is primarily a research institution, there are opportunities for interactions with local and regional academic institutions. Some level of participation in joint educational programs is expected. Send CV, statement of research interests and teaching experience and contact information for at least three references to resumes@skio.usg.edu. Please attach required documents in PDF format. Electronic applications are strongly encouraged, but paper applications may be sent to Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, 10 Ocean Science Circle, Savannah, GA, 31411.
Review of applications will begin on March 1, 2010 and will continue until the position is filled.
