The Post doctoral position search at the Chesapeake Research Consortium is still open. We had a successful search and in the mean time have found additional funds to hire yet another person. The position will be located at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Edgewater Md.
Estuarine Modeling at UMCES/HPL, CICS/UMD, and CRC
The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, the Cooperative Institute of Climate Studies at UMD, and the Chesapeake Research Consortium have begun a collaborative, interdisciplinary hydrodynamic and ecosystem modeling program of the Chesapeake Bay. We seek a postdoc to work with us on the development of a harmful algal bloom nowcast/forecast system based on a comprehensive hydrodynamic and biogeochemical simulation of Chesapeake Bay combined with empirical habitat modeling approaches. Candidates must be motivated by cross-disciplinary research and have either physical and/or biogeochemical oceanographic background with a demonstrated experience in numerical modeling. The project will require proficiency in UNIX, Fortran and matlab. Previous experience with ROMS, networking and GIS web applications would be advantageous.
Please send C.V., names and addresses of three references, and a statement of research interests to Dr. Raleigh Hood, UMCES HPL, P.O. Box 775, Cambridge, MD 21613. Email: rhood@hpl.umces.umd.edu. Review of applications will begin on March 15, 2006. For more information visit our web page at ccmp.chesapeake.org.
