Ocean Career: University of Miami Assistant Scientist
ECO Posted On June 28, 2024The Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) of the University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science has an exciting opportunity for a full-time Assistant Scientist to work in Miami, FL. We seek an Assistant Scientist to join our group to support NOAA’s Gulf of Mexico Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) and NOAA’s Climate, Ecosystem and Fisheries Initiative (CEFI) at SEFSC, specifically by leading research projects related to ecosystem-based fishery management and climate-informed management needs in the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and Caribbean regions.DEPARTMENT SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS
The successful candidate(s) will:Interpret and statistically analyze complex data sets.Test and develop hypotheses related to ecosystem processes throughout the US Southeast (Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and/or Caribbean).Conduct simulations or modeling to evaluate the potential impacts of climate change on fisheries and fishery ecosystems.Build or update tools to assist US fishery managers in decision making, such as ecosystem models, biophysical models, management strategy evaluations, or other predictive models.Present findings at scientific meetings and publish the results in scientific journals.MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
The successful applicant must have a Ph.D. in physical or biological oceanography, marine ecology, marine biology, population dynamics, fisheries, statistics, or a related field.At least 1 year of relevant Postdoctoral research experience.Demonstrated ability in publishing results in the peer-reviewed literature.Experience with statistical analyses and expertise in oceanography, marine ecosystem ecology and/or population dynamics.Demonstrated experience in programming languages such as R, Perl, Python, MATLAB.Previous experience working with large and diverse data sets.Demonstrated verbal and written communication skills.The ability and desire to work as part of a collaborative team but also the ability to work independently to complete complex interdisciplinary ecosystem analyses.Previous experience with ecosystem modeling, or individual-based modeling, or management strategy evaluation, and/or use of downscaled climate model outputs is desirable.A statement of interest, CV, and the names of 3 people who can provide letters of recommendation are required. Remote work can be considered for highly qualified candidates.
