"Postdoctoral Scholar - Oceanography"

The Department of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine is seeking a postdoctoral scholar in oceanography as part of Bio-GO-SHIP. This is a two-year position that is renewable, pending good progress and funding. The salary will range from $66,737 to $80,034 USD per year, scaling with experience, and includes generous benefits.

Project/Position description: The scholar will lead research projects linked to detecting large-scale ocean biogeochemical changes using a combination of remote sensing, modeling, and in situ observations. Specifically, the postdoc will use ocean color remote sensing observations from the new satellite PACE as well as biogeochemical models to understand current and future changes to ocean elemental cycles. The majority of the research will be computational, but it is possible to participate in large oceanographic expeditions. The scholar is expected to lead several research projects and engage in external collaborations. We may be able to accommodate a hybrid schedule.

Qualifications: An expected or recent Ph.D. in oceanography, remote sensing, or geoscience. Scientific experience with biogeochemistry or related field. Experience with big data, modeling, or other computationally intensive approaches. Detail oriented with strong organizational and communication skills.
