The University of Washington School of Oceanography and the Washington State Department of Ecology seek applicants for two postdoctoral research associate positions to support research focused on chemical and optical tracers of biological processes. Both the chemical and optical measurements will be incorporated into ongoing modeling of Puget Sound.
Positions are available immediately and for a period of up to three years.
The goal is to determine tracers of water quality remotely and nearly continuously. The successful candidate will help interface chemical sensors for T, S, O2, nutrients, chlorophyll and optical properties with a profiling mooring. Applicants will be expected to have expertise in both chemical analysis and field research. It will be their responsibility to coordinate methods for transmission of the results to the University of Washington laboratories in near real time. Biological or Optical Oceanographer.
