Postdoctoral Fellow - Fisheries Oceanography & Eastern Boundary Upwelling Ecosystems
Target Audience(s): Postdoctoral
Institution: Belle W. Baruch Institute for Marine & Coastal Sciences, University of South Carolina
Institutional Web Link: http://www.baruch.sc.edu
Position Description: Position for a postdoctoral fellow to join our interdisciplinary team exploring the responses of forage fish populations to the physical and biogeochemical variability associated with future climate change. Funded by the Nippon Foundation-Nereus Program, the project goal is estimation of fisheries productivity given changes in upwelling intensity and seasonality, nutrient stoichiometry, acidification, and plankton production and composition. The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for (1) developing models linking hydrographic, biogeochemical, and lower-trophic-level projections with forage-fish populations; (2) considering the consequences of changing forage fish availability to higher-trophic-level populations; and (3) collaborating with researchers exploring economic and management implications of changes in fisheries productivity, distribution, and demand. Development and pursuit of personal research interests within fisheries oceanography will be encouraged and supported.
