TWO POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN CORAL REEF ECOLOGY AND GENOMICS

TWO POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN CORAL REEF ECOLOGY AND GENOMICS

The Institute of Biodiversity Science and Sustainability and the Steinhart
Aquarium, California Academy of Sciences, are recruiting two (or a total of
four) post-doctoral fellows to be a part of our 5-year Coral Reefs
Initiative. The candidates will be supervised by Drs. Rebecca Albright and
Luiz Rocha and will work closely with other scientists within the Institute
of Biodiversity Science and Sustainability and Steinhart Aquarium with
generous support for laboratory and fieldwork. The positions will focus on:
(Position 1) establishing a coral reproductive model at Steinhart Aquarium
(in conjunction with aquarium staff and global partners), and documenting
carbonate chemistry dynamics and reef metabolism at various field sites;
(Position 2) coral reef genomics and bioinformatics. There is additional
flexibility to propose research projects that complement the California
Academy of Science’s current initiatives. Public outreach through in person
and online interactions will be encouraged. Applicants with expertise in
any area of coral reef biology and conservation will be given full
consideration. However, preference will likely be given to candidates with
experience in the following areas: field expertise, coral reproduction,
larval biology, seawater carbonate chemistry, ocean warming and
acidification, bioinformatics, and genomics.
