Assistant, Associate or Senior Scientists - Carbon Cycle Geochemistry

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The Marine Chemistry & Geochemistry Department at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured position at the level of Assistant, Associate or Senior Scientist in the field of Carbon Cycle Geochemistry. We seek a geochemist who applies diverse analytical and/or modeling skills to investigate carbon cycling - past and present - over a broad range of spatial and temporal scales, who explores interactions between marine, terrestrial, atmospheric aspects of the carbon cycle, and who examines their links to regional and global (paleo) climate and to anthropogenic perturbations.

WHOI is a private non-profit research organization that offers exceptional research and educational opportunities. The selected individual(s) would have the opportunity to work closely with WHOI scientists and engineers carrying out research in the fields of chemical, biological, geological and physical oceanography, and participate in shaping an interdisciplinary climate research program at WHOI. Information regarding on-going research at WHOI can be found at www.whoi.edu. The successful applicant (s) will be expected to have a strong interest in collaborative research, seek funding to establish a productive research program, and contribute to graduate education within the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography/Applied Ocean Science and Engineering.

The candidate should submit a current CV, a short (1-3 page) Research Statement, and the names of four potential references along with her/his on-line application. The level of the appointment will be based on credentials and experience. Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2009.
