| The University of Washington (UW) is proud to be one of the nation's premier educational and research institutions. Our people are the most important asset in our pursuit of achieving excellence in education, research, and community service. Our staff not only enjoys outstanding benefits and professional growth opportunities, but also an environment noted for diversity, community involvement, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits, and natural beauty. UW is located in the greater Seattle metropolitan area, with a dynamic, multicultural community of 3.7 million people and a range of ecosystems from mountains to ocean. The UW serves a diverse population of 80,000 students, faculty and staff including 25% first-generation college students, over 25% Pell Grant student and faculty from over 70 countries. The UW is a recipient of a National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award to increase the advancement of women in science, engineering, and math (see https://advance.washington.edu/). The Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO) has existed since 1977 for the purpose of fostering research collaboration between the UW and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). JISAO's research is at the forefront of investigations on climate change, ocean acidification, fisheries assessments, and tsunami forecasting. JISAO has an outstanding opportunity for a Postdoctoral Scholar in Arctic marine chemistry. This postdoctoral scholar will be mentored by scientists at NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), where the position will be physically based, and join a research team working on collecting and analyzing Arctic carbon data in support of ocean acidification research conducted by JISAO and NOAA. The postdoctoral scholar will conduct cutting-edge research on the Arctic and Alaska marine carbon cycle including new technology development and ocean acidification monitoring. Major duties include: - Data compilation, processing, and carbonate system calculations on CO2, dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH, and ancillary data for Arctic carbon datasets.
- Leading and contributing to publications in peer-reviewed journals, presenting at scientific conferences, participating in proposal writings.
- Contributing to scientific data set inventory and reports, collaboration with other technicians and research scientists in the operation and calibration of research equipment.
- Document progress on tasks and communicate progress regularly with other team members and leadership.
- Participation in at-sea collection of discrete carbon data as well as conducting at-sea deployments of autonomous systems.
This appointment is designed to provide postdoctoral experience for interested marine scientists in an interdisciplinary, collaborative laboratory setting as well as at sea, and will require excellent teamwork, communication, and organizational skills. Underserved and minority groups are particularly encouraged to apply for this position. For cover letter and resume tips, see https://careers.uw.edu/resources/.
