Description
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is dedicated to research and education to advance understanding of the ocean and its interaction with the Earth system, and to communicating this understanding for the benefit of society.
Position Overview:
The Biology Department is searching for an Assistant, Associate and/or Senior Scientist to join their team. This is a regular full-time position and is eligible for benefits.
We seek exceptional candidates from the biological, mathematical and physical sciences to complement our existing interdisciplinary strengths in oceanography and marine ecology. Both theoretical and empirical approaches are welcome.
Qualifications:
Candidates in all areas are welcome to apply; research topics of particular interest include:
Climate Change:
Scientists who conduct research on the effects of climate change (including ocean acidification) on populations, communities and ecosystems, especially in the context of large-scale or global climate processes and models.
Population Genetics:
Scientists who use population genetics to address questions about the structure, dynamics, conservation or biogeography of marine populations.
We expect to hire at the Assistant Scientist level, but we will consider an appointment at a higher level for an exceptionally qualified candidate. Successful candidates will be expected to develop an internationally recognized and externally funded research program. They also have the opportunity to advise graduate students and teach courses at MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography.
Compensation: While members of the Institution's Scientific Staff are expected to provide for their salaries from grants and contracts, the Institution provides salary support when no other funding is available. Candidates hired at the Assistant Scientist and Associate Scientist without tenure levels receive an initial appointment for 4 years with salary guaranteed.
Deadline: The application review process will begin on January 15, 2010.
