A multi-institutional, 3-year project involving field and modeling studies seeks a postdoctoral investigator to work at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, Horn Point Laboratory (http://hpl.umces.edu/).

The project involves 3-dimensional coupled biogeochemical modeling of the Amazon River and its plume with emphasis on microbial succession and incorporating information derived from genomic data into models to improve carbon cycle simulations. This is an excellent opportunity for an individual interested in interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration. The University of Maryland is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.

Applications should include: CV, statement of research interests, and references emailed to Raleigh Hood (rhood@umces.edu).

Review of applications will begin March 1^st, 2010.
