A primary goal of this award is to promote interaction and collaboration between environmental scientists and more traditionally trained chemists or chemical engineers. MSRC is a center for research, graduate education, and public service in marine and atmospheric sciences for the State University of New York. MSRC specializes in interdisciplinary study of the oceans and atmosphere, and their interaction, particularly in the coastal zone.
Research sites extend from regional estuaries to the global oceans and atmosphere.
The MSRC website should be explored to obtain a more complete introduction to the Center. We seek applicants in the field of chemistry or chemical engineering, who are not already expert in environmental research but who want to apply their training to study of environmental processes. The Postdoctoral Scholar will have a broad spectrum of opportunity for interaction and collaboration at MSRC and Stony Brook or Brookhaven National Laboratory generally, including participation in specific research projects, environmental education, and activities related to coastal zone management and policy. The award is for a 1 year period, renewable for up to 2 years.
