University of Hawaii, School of Ocean and Earth Science Technology (SOEST), Antarctic Oceanography Ecosystem Modeling.
SOEST at the University of Hawai`i in Manoa seeks a Postdoctoral Scholar to collaborate in a significant inter-disciplinary and multi-institional (Scripps, U. Hawaii, U. Alaska) project to observe, simulate, and understand the extreme biological productivity blooms that occur in the fjords of the Western Antarctic Peninsula. Using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) coupled with a state-of-the-art ecosystem model, we will examine the processes that sustain a season long bloom in the Antarctic fjord. A significant observational compaign will be conducted, and the observations will help to validate the model processes. The results will provide new insight into the mechanisms that make the Antarctic fjords among the most biologically productive sites and how these mechanisms may be sensitive to changes in the Earth system. Further research into the influence of these physical processes on the biology of the region will be encouraged. The successful candidate will join a dynamic team working on similar issues and research.
The successful candidate will be responsible for development of new ecosystem simulation of Antarctic fjords, comparison with in situ data, scientific research into impacts on the Fjord ecosystem, and understanding the controlling factors of nutrient delivery into the ecosystem. It is expected that the successful candidate will publish scientific articles and contribute to and/or write new funding proposals, etc.
Minimum Qualifications include: Ph.D. or equivalent in biological oceanography, physical oceanography (with ecosystem experience), marine ecosystems, or related field, ability to work well independently as part of a team, and strong communication skills both verbal and written. Preferred candidates will have experience with ecosystem modeling, mathematical and computational skills with background in ecosystem dynamics. Candidates should be motivated to drive new developments in ecosystems simulations.
The appointment is planned for three years, and it will be reviewed annually and renewed based upon performance and funding. Stipend is commensurate with qualifications and experience. Review of applications will begin immediately, and will proceed until the position is filled. Electronic applications containing: (1) curriculum vitae; (2) one-page statement of research interests; (3) one published academic article most indicative of your work; (4) contact information for three references to powellb@hawaii.edu. Email verification will be sent upon receipt of your application, please inquire if receipt is not received. For more information, please contact Dr. Brian Powell <powellb@hawaii.edu>.
The University of Hawaii is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, veteran status, or disability. Applications from women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are encouraged.

The Department of Geography at Texas State University
(<http://www.geo.txstate.edu>) is seeking highly motivated Master?s and
Doctoral degree seeking applicants for the 2016-2017 academic year.
Texas State is an emerging research institution and the Department of
Geography possesses a vibrant, diverse, and growing faculty with
specialties broadly encompassing geospatial technologies,
human-environment interactions, environmental change, water resources
research, and geographic education. The department has on-campus
affiliations with the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment, the
Grosvenor Center for Geographic Education, and the Texas Alliance for
Geographic Education, as well as a history of federally-funded research
involving agencies such as NASA, NSF, and EPA.
In particular, the department is seeking physical geography students
with experience involving geospatial technologies, quantitative methods,
and/or programming skills involving the ability to process and visualize
large weather/climate datasets in various formats (e.g. NetCDF and HDF).
A background in atmospheric science or climatology and interests in
polar and/or middle latitude climate variability and change is
preferred. Please direct interests and inquires related to these
research topics to Tom Ballinger at <tballinger@txstate.edu
<mailto:tballinger@txstate.edu>>. Applicants with an interest in weather
and climate hazards should direct inquiries to Dr. Rich Dixon at
<rd11@txstate.edu>.
Funding opportunities exist for Graduate Assistantships at the Doctoral
($26,000 over 9 months, renewable up to a maximum of 4 years) and
Master's ($13,097 over 9 months) levels. These assistantships also come
with a waiver of out-of-state tuition for autumn and spring semesters
each year. Graduate Assistants also receive university student health
benefits. The Department also provides some conference-related travel
funding for students presenting at meetings (up to 2 conferences per
year). Additional potential sources of funding, such as full tuition
waivers for Year One of a student's program, and doctoral and master's
research fellowships, are competitively available through the Graduate
College.
Applications for full funding considerations are due by January 15,
2016. More details regarding the application process may be found
at<http://www.gradcollege.txstate.edu/steps.html>. Questions regarding
the application and its process may be directed to the Department of
