Postdoctoral Appointments in Interdisciplinary Oceanography
The Center for Marine Science and Technology (CMAST) at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth invites applications for two postdoctoral positions in physical oceanography and fish population dynamics. Under the leadership of Brian J. Rothschild, Avijit Gangopadhyay and James Bisagni, CMAST has a joint program with the Harvard Oceanography group, directed by Allan R. Robinson, designed to understand the relationships among ocean dynamics, ocean productivity, and temporal and spatial aspects of plankton and fish population dynamics. We seek two postdoctoral oceanographers who have experience and/or interest in such areas as continental shelf modeling, assimilation of in situ and remotely sensed data, and modeling temporal and spatial distribution of plankton and fish abundance. CMAST has a strong group of interdisciplinary oceanographers working in the physics, chemistry and biology of the ocean. To apply, contact Professor Avijit Gangopadhyay, CMAST, 706 Rodney French Boulevard, New Bedford, MA 02744-1221; fax: 508-999-8197; email: avijit@umassd.edu.
