Chemical/Physical/Biological Oceanographer – Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences
Applications are invited from scientists with interests in chemical, physical or biological oceanography to complement existing and future oceanographic research and educational activities at BIOS. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in: (1) Biological or biogeochemical oceanography including those with interests in biogeochemical cycles; molecular biology/genomics; microbial ecology; phytoplankton/zooplankton ecology and physiology; nutrient and/or trace element geochemistry; tracer geochemistry; and (2) Physical oceanography, especially those with interests in new observing technologies including mooring and AUV systems, or physical-biological modeling.
Successful applicants will be expected to build a strong research program, complementary to and synergistic with a broad range of oceanographic research at BIOS. Familiarity with the U.S. federal agency funding system is especially desirable. Although primarily a research position, opportunities exist for teaching and mentoring at the undergraduate level. A Ph.D. or equivalent experience in an appropriate discipline is required. The position welcomes scientists at all experience levels from early career to senior scientist. Rank and salary will be commensurate with experience.
The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) is a U.S. 501(c)(3) not‑for‑profit marine research and education institution incorporated in New York and based in Bermuda since 1903. Scientific activities at BIOS are wide‑range and include oceanographic and atmospheric time‑series studies, coral reef research, and ocean and human health interactions. At present, BIOS employs a multi‑national staff of approximately 85 people and hosts ~2,000 scientific and educational visitors per year. Activities include oceanographic and marine biological research conducted by resident and visiting scientists, and university‑level courses on a variety of marine science topics. The Bermuda Atlantic Time‑series Study /Hydrostation S programs and the Ocean Flux Program are major long‑term initiatives of BIOS. The institution also supports the operations of the RV Atlantic Explorer, a UNOLS‑scheduled vessel, and has recently invested in new autonomous underwater systems with several electric gliders available for research activities. Additional information about BIOS can be found at http://www.bios.edu/.
To apply, please submit a cover letter, research statement, and curriculum vitae including names of references to: Gillian Hollis, BIOS, 17 Biological Station, St. Georges, GE01, Bermuda; gillian.hollis@bios.edu. Review of applications will begin April 15, 2015. The position will remain open until filled.
