A local research center has added a new environmental monitoring station at Port Fourchon. This station joins two others in a network that’s collecting data along the central Louisiana coast.
The Roberts Lab of Ecosystem Ecology and Biogeochemistry is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in wetland plant ecology to help organize and lead a series of field studies and manipulative experiments studying the effects of the Macondo Oil Spill on coastal marsh ecosystems. Specifically, they will be collaborating with the wetland biogeochemistry, microbial ecology, and plant ecology group of the Coastal Waters Consortium (CWC) led by Drs. Brian Roberts (LUMCON), Anne Giblin (Marine Biological Laboratory), and Anne Bernhard (Connecticut College). Review of applications will commence immediately and continue until the position is filled.
The Roberts Lab of Ecosystem Ecology and Biogeochemistry is seeking a Research Associate or Assistant in Wetland Biogeochemistry to participate in a series of field/laboratory and manipulative experiments studying the effects of the Macondo Oil Spill on coastal marsh ecosystems. The Associate or Assistant will join a large, multi-institution team of researchers on the Coastal Waters Consortium (CWC) project funded by the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative to study the impacts of the oil spill and future spills on marshes and coastal environments. Review of applications will commence immediately and continue until the position is filled.
LUMCON's Alex Kolker is on a team that recently used new techniques to measure carbon buried by land-forming in a river delta. Their calculations put carbon storage at 150% to 1000% higher than traditional estimates.
The Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative recently awarded $4.8 million in funding to sustain the Coastal Waters Consortium, led by Dr. Nancy Rabalais and including Dr. Brian Roberts, for two years.
We are currently (as of Sep. 20, 2017) seeking to hire a Chemical Oceanographer and/or a Physical Oceanographer (as part of a multi-year cluster hire), a Director of Development, and a Receptionist. Please refer to the linked job ads in this post for details.
We invite scientists that address a wide range of fundamental problems in ocean and coastal sciences as well as interdisciplinary research questions using observations, modeling, theory, and laboratory experiments to apply. Specialties of interest include but are not limited to: 1) ocean acidification, 2) marine inorganic carbon chemistry, 3) carbon cycle-climate interactions, 4) air-sea interactions, 5) decadal-scale climate variability, 6) coastal dynamics and circulation, and/or 7) oceanic-scale circulation with an emphasis on the Gulf of Mexico. Review of applicants will begin November 15, 2017 and will continue until position is filled. This position is part of a cluster hire.
