The Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (JIMAR) is currently recruiting a Supervisory Coral Reef Ecosystem Oceanographer within
the PIFSC Ecosystem Sciences Division based in Honolulu, HI. As a part of the Ecosystem Sciences Division, the Supervisory Coral Reef Ecosystem
Oceanographer leads a team of researchers to assess and predict associated ecological impacts to the coral reef ecosystems in the U.S. Pacific Islands
from multiple environmental drivers with a focus on local warming and changes in the coastal carbonate system.
DUTIES: Designs and implements sampling methodologies and field experiments to obtain robust physical, biogeochemical, and ecological time series
observations. Processes, analyzes, and summarizes interdisciplinary oceanographic data from coral reef surveys, satellite remote sensing, and other sources. Develops data products relevant to long-term monitoring to document spatial patterns and temporal changes of conditions influencing coral reef ecosystems. Prepares technical reports and scientific
manuscripts summarizing results of these analyses, and presents findings at national and international meetings. Works closely with partners in local jurisdictions and research institutions to build strong collaborative relationships to investigate the physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic conditions influencing coral reef ecosystem conditions,
particularly ocean warming and ocean acidification. Provides assistance with management of the Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) including proposal writing, administrative functions, and supervision of personnel.
PRIMARY QUALIFICATIONS: EDUCATION/TRAINING: PhD from an accredited college or university in Physical, Chemical, or Biogeochemical Oceanography,
Quantitative Ecology, Biology, Statistics, or a related field.
EXPERIENCE: Three to five (3-5) years of nearshore ecosystem oceanographic work experience with data analysis, report writing, and marine survey
techniques. Experience in collecting and analyzing oceanographic and ecological monitoring data, and seawater samples for physical, biological,
and chemical parameters. Experience conducting oceanographic and ecological data analyses, time-series analyses, inter-disciplinary modeling
techniques, and other procedures commonly used by practitioners. Demonstrated research and refereed publication record in the areas of
physical-biological interactions in coral reefs (or other nearshore ecosystems), climate change and ocean acidification on the marine
environment, and related topics. Previous experience at sea for extended periods (i.e., twenty (20) continuous days or more) of time aboard research
vessels. At least one (1) year of supervisory experience.
SALARY: Commensurate with Qualifications
DEADLINE: Please note the deadline to apply is May 29, 2018.
