UNOLS is pleased to announce that the US National Science Foundation together with the Office of Naval Research and the State of Hawaii have provided funding for a Chief Scientist Training Cruise Opportunity with an emphasis on Biological and Chemical Oceanographic research. The research cruise will take place in June 2019 (15-24 June 2019) aboard the R/V Kilo Moana. The cruise will depart from and arrive into Honolulu, HI. Participants will help plan and execute 10 days of at-sea oceanographic research that will take advantage of shipboard and PI supplied equipment to address scientific questions related to the role of biology in regulating vertical exchanges of bioelements between the upper ocean and the ocean’s interior waters. The research cruise will focus on biogeochemical and ecological dynamics at Station ALOHA (22°45´N, 158°W), field site for the Hawaii Ocean Time-series program in the subtropical North Pacific Ocean. The wealth of contextual information available from decades of research at this field site will help guide the scientific foci for this training cruise. Pre-cruise meetings and workshops will be used to identify participant-specific research questions and objectives.

Please share this opportunity with your colleagues and anyone else you think might be interested!

The Chief Scientist Training Cruise will include:

Pre-cruise video-conferences (dates TBD in April and May) and an in-person, pre-cruise workshop (June 13-14) to familiarize participants with key steps in the planning and execution of a successful research cruise
Participant-led development of scientific hypotheses and cruise objectives
Development of shipboard sampling plans that maximize efficient use of the shared resources (e.g., ship time, equipment, supplies)

The Horn Point Laboratory (HPL) of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) is seeking applications from highly qualified candidates to fill a tenure track faculty position in environmental biogeochemistry focusing on interactions at the land-water interface.

The candidate’s research focus may include, but is not limited to: studying nutrient source tracking; measuring transport, transformation, and fate of nutrients and carbon in watersheds; or studying the effects of land-use on nutrient and elemental fluxes at a variety of temporal and spatial scales. Applicants with expertise in field and/or experimental approaches are especially encouraged to apply, though applicants who primarily use modelling approaches will also be considered.
We are seeking to hire a scientist whose research program will integrate with existing research strengths within UMCES and will address both fundamental and applied problems. The successful candidate will be expected to develop externally funded and innovative research programs, participate actively in graduate-level student education, and collaborate across disciplinary boundaries. The appointment will be full time tenure track with 75% salary support. Preference will be given to candidates at the Assistant Professor level, but exceptional candidates at all faculty ranks will be considered.

Excellent opportunities are available for collaborative, interdisciplinary research on a wide range of environmental science topics at HPL/UMCES. Current research areas among the 25 faculty members at the Horn Point Laboratory include Aquaculture and Restoration Ecology, Microbial Ecology, Aquatic and Sedimentary Biogeochemistry, Plankton Ecology, Wetlands Ecology, Physical Oceanography of Estuaries and Coasts, Sediment Transport, Coupled Physical-Biological Modeling, Remote Sensing, and Ecological Forecasting. There is also potential for collaboration with colleagues throughout the three other laboratories that compose UMCES as well as other branches of the University System of Maryland (USM). Within UMCES there are strong programs in Estuarine Ecology, Fisheries Science, Chemical Oceanography and Toxicology at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in Solomons; Microbiology, Environmental Molecular Biology and Biotechnology at the Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology in Baltimore; and Air and Water Quality, Forest and Agriculture Management and Biodiversity Conservation at the Appalachian Environmental Laboratory in Frostburg. Additional research opportunities are available through various institutional mechanisms. For example, UMCES is a partner within CINAR, a NOAA-funded Cooperative Institute for the North Atlantic Region (http://www.cinar.org/). These efforts are part of a larger UMCES commitment to translating scientific knowledge to resource managers and policymakers in support of sustainable ecosystems. Close proximity to the Washington-Baltimore area and its three airports fosters collaborative opportunities with other non-UMCES research institutions, facilitates travel to more distant research sites and scientific meetings, and promotes access to major funding agency headquarters.

The location and facilities at HPL support a wide array of estuarine and marine research activities. HPL is located on 344 ha of waterfront preserve along the shore of the Choptank River estuary that opens into Chesapeake Bay. This geographical location enables faculty to develop research programs on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, the largest estuarine system in the United States, and on the coastal bays and ocean, which are within two hours’ drive. HPL offers outstanding facilities including a modern Aquaculture and Restoration Ecology Laboratory, an analytical services laboratory for nutrient and other chemical analyses, a cell-analysis facility equipped with epifluorescence microscopes and flow cytometers, and a biohazard-2 facility. In addition, multiple high performance computer clusters are available on campus. Field studies at HPL are supported by a diversity of outboard powered boats and a 24.7m research vessel, specifically designed for estuarine and coastal research (http://www.umces.edu/research-fleet).

UMCES faculty advise and mentor graduate students through the Marine Estuarine Environmental Sciences (MEES) graduate program (https://www.umces.edu/mees), a highly interdisciplinary, multi-campus graduate program in marine and environmental science. The program’s strength is drawn from the diverse expertise of its faculty affiliated with several USM institutions, as well as from government and non-government agencies. Faculty members are expected to teach one graduate course every other year and mentor graduate students in the MEES/UMCES joint program. Fellowships, teaching assistantships, and travel funds for graduate students are available through H
