The Cai lab is looking for a talented and enthusiastic Postdoctoral researcher to join this project. The candidate should have a strong biogeochemical background (preferably already has experience working with the inorganic carbon system). The candidate must have sufficient field experience and is able to organize/coordinate a large group of participants (students, fellow postdocs and visiting scientists). Importantly, the candidate must also have a strong writing skill and a high motivation to lead publishing high quality scientific papers; this should be demonstrated by the prior publication record. While not required, modeling, and statistical/numerical expertise would be an advantage. The Cai coastal ocean CO2 lab is a relatively large group, currently comprised of with 5 Ph.D. students, 3 postdocs and a lab coordinator and with several active federally funded research projects. The postdoc will have a potential to gain broader experiences via participating and collaborating on other projects.
This is a full time, 12-month position, with a funding period of up to three years (upon satisfactory annual review). The candidate must have a Ph.D. in chemical oceanography or a related discipline by the start date. Questions regarding this position can be addressed to Dr. Wei-Jun Cai at wcai@udel.edu. Applicants should send their cover letter, CV, brief description of research interests, and contact information for three references to Dr. Wei-Jun Cai. Official announcement and application will be completed via the University of Delaware’s Department of Human Resource job website.
