As part of the Charles Turner Post-Doctoral Program, we are pleased to announce a new postdoctoral fellow position with the School of Environment and Sustainability (SEaS) in the College of Arts and Sciences. Named in honor of one of the first Black students to earn a graduate degree at the University of Cincinnati, the Charles Henry Turner Post-Doctoral Program aims to attract talented postdoctoral fellows who will contribute diverse perspectives, expertise, and skill sets that bolster inclusion and innovation and enhance the student experience.

We seek an exceptional scholar with research interests in atmospheric science, climate change, and/or meteorology. The postdoctoral fellow will be supervised and mentored by Dr. Amy Townsend-Small and Dr. Laura Zanotti. The postdoc’s research time may be spent on projects of their own design, ongoing projects in the School of Environment and Sustainability, or a combination of both. In addition to conducting and publishing independent and collaborative research, the postdoc will be expected to teach one course per academic year in the School of Environment and Sustainability.

This position will provide postdoctoral research training and mentoring for one year, renewable for a second year upon satisfactory performance. The position pays an annual nine-month salary of $56,000 (paid over 12 months). Funds for travel, professional development, and research expenses are also available for the successful candidate.
Essential Functions

– Engage in data collection, data analysis, and academic writing related to the postdoctoral scholar’s research program.

– Teach courses in SEaS: one course per academic year (courses to be determined according to candidate’s interests and department needs).

– Meet regularly with postdoc supervisors and colleagues.
Minimum Requirements

– Applicants must have earned a PhD in atmospheric science, climate change, or meteorology or a closely related field within the past five years. A degree must be earned prior to the effective date of the appointment.

– Experience and/or demonstrated interest in publishing or teaching in specialty fields.

Seeking a postdoctoral research associate to join a dynamic research team on a project that will involve field-based and laboratory-based experiments. Increasing use of the offshore coastal ocean is creating novel challenges for managing trade-offs among traditional users such as fisheries and new users such as renewable energy and aquaculture. At the same time, climate change and rapidly shifting marine habitats present additional stressors that affect the stability and productivity of marine fisheries. The areas leased for wind energy on the continental shelf occupy a vast geographic region within which substantial overlap exists among wind energy areas and historical commercial fisheries. We encourage qualified applicants who are motivated to support realistic and just solutions to these challenges facing ocean use to apply.
The position is based at the Haskin Shellfish Research Lab (located in Port Norris, NJ) at Rutgers University, and will include travel to meet with project collaborators and advisors from management and fishing communities. Funding is in place for 12 months, with possible extension subject to funding. The postdoc will be motivated to contribute to practical solutions to the challenges presented by overlap among fisheries and offshore wind development. The postdoc will help us assess the potential for fishery enhancement or aquaculture to mitigate the impacts of displacement from fishing grounds due to offshore wind farms on shellfish fisheries. Both approaches – stock enhancement and aquaculture – present exciting potential mechanisms to support future coexistence of offshore wind and sustainable domestic food production in federally managed waters. The program will be highly collaborative with several fishery and management sectors, and the postdoc will be responsible for coordinating meetings with industry and management collaborators, collecting and analyzing relevant data, and writing reports and manuscripts about results. Opportunities for grant writing, undergraduate student mentoring, and presentations at science conferences will be encouraged.
We are looking for applications from candidates with experience or interest in shellfish aquaculture, with a strong background in data analysis, and interest or experience in marine policy. This research could involve time at sea on commercial vessels. The project is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary, and we invite applications from candidates who excel in team work environments and are interested in building a strong network of collaborators.

Minimum Education/Experience: PhD in ecology, aquaculture, fisheries, biological oceanography, marine policy, or related fields

Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: Preference will be given to applicants with 1) expertise in shellfish aquaculture, ecology, marine policy, or resource management; 2) strong communication, team building, and organization skills; 3) quantitative statistical and data analytical skills; and 4) strong publication records and proven written and oral communication skills.
